Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are working with a division of Penguin Group (USA) on a coffee table fashion book called, "Influence," scheduled for fall release. I suppose they are the authorities on fashion after making millions from their teenage-targeted clothing and make-up line distributed at Wal-Marts everywhere. Let's not also forget the aesthetics and artistic integrity that overwhelmed their Kmart CD release, "Mary-Kate and Ashley's Greatest Hits" that featured refined scores such as "I Am the Cute One," and "No One Tells the President What to Do."

I have to give it to Mary-Kate, though. Only a short period after her association with Heath Ledger's death, she's already soldiering on with her sister via the power of the pen. The twins will be "writing" about such artists and designers as Bob Colacello, Terry Richardson and Jack Pierson.

From a wire issued by Penguin:

"The book will include "exclusive photographs of Ashley and Mary-Kate from world renowned photographer Rankin, and a wide variety of other never-before-seen materials and interviews from Mary-Kate and Ashley's personal collections."

"Mary-Kate and I have filled `Influence' with the most interesting, challenging, creative people we know — the ones who helped pave the way for us and our generation," Ashley Olsen said in a statement.

"Ashley and I interviewed the people who have inspired us, with the hope that they will inspire and teach others," Mary-Kate Olsen said in a statement."

Yeah, I know the twins went to NYU and all that, but I still don't believe they can write or sculpt an interview. Don't people know you need skills to do that. That's right "skills." Even Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite knew that when he was contemplating running for school president. Let me give you a recap:

Pedro: Do you think people will vote for me?
Napoleon Dynamite: Heck yes! I'd vote for you.
Pedro: Like what are my skills?
Napoleon Dynamite: Well, you have a sweet bike. And you're really good at hooking up with chicks. Plus you're like the only guy at school who has a mustache.

See what I mean? A sweet bike and a mustache - will the Olsen twins mention these assets in their "influence" book?  I should hope so.
