Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen book signing sparks protest

31 Oct 2008 

A book-signing for fans of twin actresses MARY-KATE and ASHLEY OLSEN took an ugly turn when they were bombarded by a legion of angry protestors wearing mocking masks of the pair.

Fans lined up to meet the 22-year-old moguls, who were celebrating the release of their new coffee table book, Influence, on Tuesday (28Oct08).

But the pair were stunned to find animal rights activists shouting outside the event - part of a campaign launched by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) against the stars for their fashion choices.

A PETA spokesperson tells WENN: "People who still wear fur havent woken up to the fact that a big, dead animal on your back makes you look like a troll.

"Compassionate fashionistas know that real beauty comes from the heart - something that the Trollsen Twins seem to lack, considering all the animals theyve killed for their clothes."
