For some reason I’ve always been oddly interested in the Olsen twins, but lately that interest has started turning to disdain. I think it’s the absolute insistence on excess – take a gander at the pictures below if you need more evidence. They each weight what, 86 pounds dripping wet? They’ve got to be schlepping at least 200 pounds worth of baggage.

And it annoys me how they try to emphasize how tiny they are. They don’t seem to try to emphasize thin or svelte; they want to look tiny. Like they’re little girls and they’re trying to disappear. Why else are they lugging around all that baggage? Are we really supposed to believe they don’t have ten handlers to do that? They just knew it get them a lot of press because they look so little next to all those suitcases. Bravo, you’re media maestros, the both of you.

It seems like they’re always up to something new, and earlier today Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen arrived at London’s Heathrow International Airport.

The “Full House” hotties emerged from the main terminal with a ridiculous amount of luggage loaded onto twin carts as they headed for their chauffeured car while trying to ignore the paparazzi.

And while they’re both big fans of recreational world travel, this time the trip is for business, rather than pleasure.

The Olsens are overseas for the big launch of yet another line of clothing called The Row, making stops in the UK and Paris.

Just in case they don’t get enough press from their luggage-to-twin ratio (5 to 2, if you’re wondering), Mary-Kate has made sure to have one of her many fur coats prominently displayed. Because everyone knows once you passive aggressively tell PETA to f off, you’ve really made it.
