Mary-Kate Olsen looks absolutely adorable on the December cover of Nylon but — boo — these pictures come with bad news. Little MK was hospitalized with a kidney infection yesterday afternoon in NYC. Thankfully it's nothing serious, and she should be out before Thanksgiving. In the article MK is a little bit quirky and a lot bit endearing, just like the photoshoot to accompany it. What can I say, I love me some Olsen. Here are highlights:
- On people's perception of her: I wear weird things sometimes. I like to drink coffee. Neither of these things have anything to do with who I am. I am a bit kooky, I am a bit wacky, and that's how my friends know me: It's a happy craziness and they connect with that person and respect me for it.
- On her relationship with Ashley: We're very close, we're extremely close...We deal with so many things every day and we're really the only two people who understand how it feels. I'm lucky to be able to go through these emotions with her — to share it and to know that I'm not alone...Yeah, I mean, my sister and I are so different. I think that's why we work so well together — it's the Ying and the Yang. When she's up, I'm down and when I'm down, she's up. We're always sort of balancing each other out and encouraging each other...It's like talking about friends. You're different than your best friend; you're two completely different people. Although we're twins it really has nothing to do with how different we are.
As biased as I may be when it comes to the Olsens, MK seems kinda awesome. I recommend picking up the magazine and reading the whole article, she totally won me over about her appreciation of art and how she hopes someday to be able to just go out and buy works from her favorite artists, like Basquiat. Since, ya know, she and her sister are totally hurting for cash these days. Aww, get well soon MK!

15I hope she gets well soon.. She's looking better and better at the moment.. Love all these photos!
16"When she's up, I'm down and when I'm down she's up" LOL that's the same thing dummy
17What a great shoot of her!!!
18Awww I hope she is feeling better soon!
19I'm kinda confused: What is Mary Kate doing that gives her a spread in Nylon? She seems like an interesting person, but there are a lot of interesting people in the world...why is she on the cover of a magazine? B/c she was a childstar? Is rich? Has a twin? Cool pics, though
20Molly you are making me like the Olsens. :shake-a-mean-fist:
21I hope she gets well soon. The Olsen twins have such amazing eyes, it was all you could see on their faces when they were young.
22LOVE mk!!! she's so quirky and adorable.
23To Nuttmegs: Well, she just finished up on a season-long stint on Weeds, plus she and Ashley have relatively new clothing lines (The Row, Elizabeth & James), plus I think she's working on a movie. Busy girl!
She's been growing on me over the last few years...
24seriously, what's with that shocked expression?
25IMO it's overdone an unnatural.
Im a huge fan. They are adorable (and yes, way too skinny. Id give anything to feed them poor babies) - I like their eye for style.
Fur? I love animals, and I love a good fur coat. If that makes me the devil, I'll be meeting all the other fashionistas in hell (on my bear skin rug) LOL
26She is adorable! In my eyes she will always be little Michelle Tanner.
27Honeymooners disease?
28LOL Alisha! I'll be there with you!
29MK is starting to grow on me. She looks so beautiful in these photos. She totally won me over with her sister tribute. I feel the same way about my sis! Cept we're not twins...or famous...or clothing designers...or on the cover of magazines...ever...
30i love the olsens! they always have such great pictures and interviews.
31Ugh, kidney infections are the worst. Hope she feels better soon, I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
32The older she gets the more I like her. I'm not surprised at all she had a kidney infection I mean after all she smokes. Hope it's nothing serious. I definitely will pick up the New Nylon. I'm already a fan of her sisters clothes The Row.
33ever since i was little, MK has always been my favourite twin. I dunno why but I've always liked her more than Ashley. MK is my fashion icon
I love the photos for this interview. She seems like someone you could have a v.interesting conversation with. Those ones that last hours.
I soooo hope she gets better soon!
34xoxo
Ah, I hope she feels better. I know how a kidney infection feels and it ain't no picnic.
Cync1a: how does smoking cause kidney infection? smoking may lead to many things like bladder cancer, but as far as i know it doesn't cause the infection itself.
"Many people who have symptoms of pain or burning when they urinate, or who have to urinate frequently, don't have a urinary infection at all. Things such as smoking, drinking, lots of coffee, or just nerves seem to play a role."
The smoking doesn't cause the infection, but may produces symptoms that may mimic a UTI. She most likely was used to the symptoms because she smokes and drinks coffee but didn't realize that they were also symptoms for the UTI and the infection spread. The infection itself is caused by bacteria that moved from a UTI into the kidneys.
That's what happened to me.
Anyways, I'm not a fan of the Olsens, but they're slowly growing on me. Maybe because they're maturing. Eh.
35YES!
36December Nylon's out.
never heard of someone in the hospital for a kidney infection. usually an outpatient kind of thing.
37Loves it!
38she's so adorable on the cover!!!!
39What an awesome shoot of her. Aww I hope she get better soon! She's been through alot and her sister.
40her eyes are amazing!
