Sisters

Much as they loved their eight years playing Michelle Tanner on the recently cancelled Full House, the Olsen Twins, now 10, weren't wild about her wardrobe.

"Ugly," says Ashley--a critique echoed by Mary-Kate. "I hated some of the clothes," she confesses. "They were not my style." which, like her sister's, is more casual than Michelle's lots of T-shirt, shorts, overalls and jeans.

"I never wear dresses," explains Mary-Kate. "They're not comfortable." The picky pixie does like trendy duds that match, while her older (by two minutes) sister opts for anything soft and fuzzy.

"We don't borrow each other's clothes," says Ashley. Ashley spends an hour getting out her clothes for the next day, while Mary-Kate is far less fussy. "I like anything cozy," she says. Indeed, the San Fernando Valley fifth graders have dressed differently "since they could talk," says their father, Dave.

One thing they would both like to do is get their ears pierced, though their folks have put that idea on hold. They'd also like to cut their hair, which now hangs past their shoulders. Says Ashley, sensibly: Too many knots.
