It Must Be Weird to Be Mary-Kate Olsen

Here is a picture of Mary-Kate Olsen (left), stepping out with her new boyfriend, Olivier Sarkozy, and his daughter.

….what are you thinking right now?

Are you thinking that this is maybe not the type of guy you would have imagined MK, star of Passport to Paris, Billboard Dad, and Getting There (now streaming on Netflix Instant) to end up with?

Are you thinking that, if Mary-Kate were not famous and recognizable and smoking a cigarette, you might be a little hard-pressed to determine which girl was the girlfriend and which was the daughter? (It doesn’t help that they’re matching.)

Are you thinking that, even if he is the nicest, kindest man in the world, and even if they are absolute soulmates, and even if they make each other so so happy just siting on the fire escape together with a mason jar full of red wine and each other for company, and even if she is able to calm his temper and he is able to appreciate her dry wit in a way no one else has, even if all of this is true, it still sort of sucks to date a guy who could so easily be mistaken for your dad?

Yeah. That’s what I’m thinking, too.
