Once again, the oldest info of '98 (starting on January 1st!! New Year's Day!) is at the bottom and the most recent as the year went on was placed at the top.
The twins are currently in the following magazines.....
J-14
Teen Beat
All About You
Nickelodeon
Superstars
Superteen
Newsweek Extra: Computers & The Family
Disney's Adventures
Also, thanks to Christy, I found this site: Billboard Dad!!
When at the Mall of America last weekend, the twins brought two of their closest friends from school. They were spotted shopping at The Gap, Contempo Casuals, Pacific Sunwear, and more! They were nervous when they saw how big the crowd was but dad was there to give 'em courage! They hosted a breakfast ant 300 lucky contest winners got to eat with them and take a picture with them and also see a private screening (with the twins) of Billboard Dad!!! No fair!!! I wish I could have been there!
There will be a Christmas episode of TOAK and it was filmed Friday Nov. 13th. Episodes are shot basically a month ahead of time. In this holiday episode some presents get stolen! Oh no!
The new New Adventure book is the Case of the Surprise Call and Michelle's next book is Tap Dance Trouble. Neither one is out in stores yet!
The TGIF Live Party was awesome and Two of a Kind RULED!!! The twins looked so young in the debut episode because it was filmed last April!
Mary-Kate & Ashley chatted online during the premiers of the new TGIF shows. Verified information: They filmed Billboard Dad this summer. They both agree that the upcoming episodes of toak will be lots of fun. They are both especially excited about the Halloween one. Ashley say's it's really funny! Also, proven true, as well as Trent & Lizzie, the twins also have a half-sister and half-brother, most likely from their stepmom's previous marriage. Both twins like Rap. Ashley's new favorite movie is Ever After the Cinderella story with Drew Barrymore.
'The Case of the Rock & Roll Mystery is now out and the next book will be The Case of the Missing Mummy'. The Full House Sisters books with both Steph and Michelle will come out soon. The WDW Adventure is also on it's way. I have a copy reserved.
The twins are coming out with a new CD, entitled "Ballet Party". It will feature songs from the Ballet Party, Costume Party, and Mall Party.
October is coming soon so those two video's mentioned above should be available real soon.
The October Issue of Disney's Adventures is still on newstands. It is REALLY awesome and has loads of fun new pictures as well as lots of neat information. Ashley loves shopping for shoes and M-K likes to shop for horse supplies.
That's all for now!
I just went out and got the mail and received a whole NEW FUNZINE!!!!!!!!!! I think I am the only one who has it so far!!! It is Vol 6 - Issue 1 and the cover is the pose from the Ballet Party video. It's a purple background behind them!!!!!! It didn't come from the Fun Club though, it came from like Van Nuys at some weird company. But it must have been sent there from the Fun Club. Even though it is shorter then most issues, it has lots of RARE pictures that I wish I could scan!! It's kinda old since it talks about The New Adventures of Mary-Kate & Ashley coming to bookstores soon. And it also talks about the Thanksgiving Day Parade. So it's not too recent but it is the MOST RECENT issue so far from the Fun Club!!!!!!!!!! Did anyone else get it? PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!! This is the 10th issue of Our Funzine!!!!! There's lots more but it's gonna be saved for my club! Join for August to get all this kewl stuff and possibly scanned rare pictures or at least photocopies from the Funzine!!!!
Oh yeah- if anyone got this.... did you get a new kit too? Cause I called the club on July 29th and they apparently misinterpreted it and sent me this Funzine on July 30th- but no new kit. A few components of the new kit are still missing. It should be sent out my the beginning of September.
The twins meet their loyal fans for the very first day today as they arrive at Disney World from all over the country and have a "Welcoming Night" tonight!
While in Disney, the twins will be taking pictures for their upcoming book: Mary-Kate & Ashley's Walt Disney World Adventure. My club members will get to see the cover for that book this month!
That's it for now!!!
I don't know how exclusive this is to you but here's what the twins are doing at the moment:
Right now they're in production on a direct-to-video movie called "Billboard Dad". In it, the girls, who play daughters of a widower, think it's time their dad get a new women in his life, and take out a personal ad for their father- on a giant Sunset Strip billboard! Looks like yet another movie where the twins get to play matchmaker! If they film it this summer, it should be out around Christmas time- give or take a few months.
In a local newspaper there's this thing called TV Week that tells you what's playing without buying the tv guide. Anyways, there is a huge color picture of the twins on the cover!!! It is rare, and it's a pose from the 'Two of a Kind' photo shoot (you know where Ash is in a green shirt and M-K is in a green striped shirt with overalls). I think my club members will be able to buy it as a poster from the merchandise sheet!! There is also a little write up that is real short.
That's all for today!
Guess what will be released on June 9th, 1998??? My friend's mom's magazine had yet another awesome rare poster!!!!
On June 9th, stores around the USA will be releasing "Twin Packs" for a limited time only!!!! There are 3 different packs, selling at a SRP of $19.98. The titles are A. The Case of The Logical i Ranch and The Case of The Mystery Cruise, B. The Case of The Fun House Mystery and The Case of The Shark Encounter, and C. The Case of Thorn Mansion and The Case of The US Space Camp Mission.
Hopefully these will be available in your area!!!!
MORE EXCLUSIVE INFO: Once Upon A Time With Mary-Kate & Ashley was released in all the stores in my area on 5/7/98. I have it and if you have $16.95 and are between the ages of 4-9, I suggest that you get it. Personally, at 14, I thought it was kinda babyish because they teach you how to make crafts and it's 6 different Disney stories retold. Of course I got it though because there are many adorable pictures even if tons of them are really small. I don't think the twins are really saying the "Ashley: I loved this ending, don't you? Mary-Kate: Yeah, but if it's a happy ending, why does it always make me cry?" I think those are just what the authors wrote. In the back it gives the ad that was in the Nickelodean & Dis. Adventures mags PLUS what the Case of The Wild Wolf River looks like!!!!!!!!!!!!! The twins are in a boat and they have life jackets on. They have green oars and different colored helmets too. I can't wait till it comes out!
I got a really awesome letter on Friday April 10th!!! It's something that is really great! Read on........ oh, anything in [ ] was commented by me!
Dear Mary-Kate & Ashley Fan,
Thank you for your recent letter [recent- yeah right! I wrote in December 1997!] concerning your renewal kit for Mary-Kate & Ashley's Fun Club. We have discovered that some members were prematurely sent renewal notices for their memberships which resulted in them receiving kits identical to the ones received last year [and in 1996].
We are currently in the process of redesigning the kit and your name has already been entered into the files to receive one of those kits as soon as they are completed. Your renewal will be active as of the date of the new shipment so you will receive an entire year of membership before needing to renew again. [!!!!!!!!!]
We apologize for the confusion and thank you for your understanding. It is our hope to get the new renewal kit out to you as possible.
Thank You
Mary-Kate & Ashley's Fun Club
I am so so so so so excited! Did any other member receive this letter? Let me know!!!!
Another Camp Out Party Blooper....
This isn't really a blooper so that is why I didn't put it the first time. (3/7/98) I noticed this the first time that I saw the video but Christy reminded me of it and asked me to credit her.
After Ashley's tent is set up, and M-K, Catherine and Alex are trying to put theirs up, Ashley gives them kid guest tents. She gives 2 tents to the three girls! And, in the long-run, they all end up sleeping in Ashley's big tent!
I got an e-mail from Sail With The Stars informing me that the twins cruise has been delayed until August 3rd-10th. Originally the twins were only going to be on the three day cruise but now they will also partcipate at events in DisneyWorld and in the hotel!!!!!!! Thanx so much SWS for that info!
Remember the "Bonne Bell You're Invited Sweepstakes" from the 3 video's released in September? Well, a winner was chosen! She's from Michigan. My club members will get her name and town in the March newsletter!
I hope to have some N.B.S. pix from the new videos on my page later today but I am still waiting or I.E. to download. (Gee, only 2 hours and 22 minutes remaining!)
SEEN HERE FIRST!!!!! The twins newest video's were suppose to be released on Tuesday, March 10th but luckily came out one week earlier! I got them both on the 4th (Wednesday).
YITM-K&A's Camp Out Party Bloopers!!!
*Mary-Kate takes the marshmallows out of the fridge (why the heck would they be in the fridge?) twice!!! She says something like, "We can't forget the marshmallows!" twice!!
*When Ashley's tent is set up and she is relaxing with her hands behind her head, her hands are behind her head, then in the next scene they aren't, then in the following scene they are again!
*Ashley seems a little jealous that the girl (not Alex but I forgot the other one's name) does the kart-wheels infront of her singing the "Critters" song. Ashley is watching her [that girl] closely as she sings, "tip and tumble!".
*This isn't a blooper but does anyone else absolutely love it when Ashley, in the bloopers at the end of the video, keeps messing up on, "Maybe we'll think of something before we go to camp this summer!", and she exclaims, "Oh my goodness!" I LOVE how she says it!!!
YITM-K&A's Ballet Party Bloopers!!!
*It's totally not fair that there isn't a bloopers section at the end of the video but at least you can see scenes while watching the credits. AND some of those scenes were not included in the video so they are intersting to watch!
*If you wait till the very very end, the twins will yell, "It's a rap!" in unison! (After credits)
*This is a mistake in both the Ballet Party AND Camp Out party. You know how they usually write "You're Invited To Mary-Kate & Ashley's, all logos, Mary-Kate & Ashley's Fun Club, etc are trademarks of DualStar Entertainment Group, etc". WELL, at the end of both of the video's, it says, "You're Invited To Mary-Kate & Ashley's Mall Party, all logos, etc, etc"!!!!! MALL PARTY!!!! They put the wrong credits on the videos!!!!
*Here's a blooper that depends on which video you watch first! I watched the Camp Out Party first so, in the scenes where M-K is making "The List" and Ash is trying on hats, you will notice they are wearing the same style sweater only in different colors. Ashley is in blue and Mary-Kate is in purple. THEN, in the Ballet Party, while singing "Dancing Your Dreams" the first time, in the scene when they are packing, Ashley is now wearing the same purple sweater that Mary-Kate wore and M-K is wearing the blue one! They switched!
*This one might be false, it's just from what I remember. In the Ballet Party when they are signing in the horse cart and sitting by the fountain singing, I THINK they are wearing the same skirts they wore on the Rosie show in October. I'll have to watch the Rosie show again to check for sure!
I just sat here in front of the computer for exactly a half hour typing about 3 pages worth of exclusive info and then my stupid, no good computer crashed. I was sooooo upset but after trying to break it, I cried for all my hard work. I had so much exclusive & rare information typed and when I pused "submit" it crashed. None of it was saved. I am so upset. I can't believe that happened. I am going to add things in intervals. So if you are on this page on Jan 1st, check the exclusive section about every 5 minutes cause new stuff will be added. I can't believe after a half hour of typing info it is all lost. And it was all from my head, none is written down. I didn't write down what I would type first.
Ok, the computer crashed AGAIN. This is realy getting me mad!
Ok, on the main page it say's "Mall Party a scam???". I am sure it is not a scam I just wanted a catchy title to get you curious. But there IS a reason why I said it!! OK, Monday December 15th was probably the best day of my entire life. My best friend Alyssa had the most wonderful surprise for me Monday morning in English class. It was a giagantic, exclusive poster of the twins career AS WELL AS pictures and summaries of the twins NEWEST VIDEO's that are not out yet!!!! The reason I put "Mall Party a scam?????" is because the mall party is NOT one of the two new video's coming out next. But I am sure it will eventually come out!
This is the most exclusive poster because only managers and assistant managers of a certain store receive it. So VERY FEW PEOPLE HAVE IT!!! You cannot buy it! Ok, if you want to know summaries of the new video's, titles, scans of the covers, and wicked exclusive information, join my club, OTFFC!
Also.... on Wednesday December 17th, I went to the awesomest book store in the entire universe. They were having a HUGE sale........
I got YITM-K&A's Sleepover Party book for just $1!!!!! That's right, instead of paying $13, it was one buck! Nothing was wrong with it except that it was missing the locket, but oh well cause I wouldn't have worn that anyway! I loved it!
Another thing I got for only ONE dollar: Michelle's Full House Scrapbook. This is full color and awesome! Nothing wrong with this one either, just a great price!
That has got to be the most luckiest Olsen week ever!!!
For Christmas, I got the Christmas Party Book & the Hawaiian Beach Party. (These both came with the necklaces!) The Christmas Party book is so awesome because there are only a few pictures that are in the movie. There are thousands of pix from Vail as well as lots of exclusive ones!!! I was so happy!
My computer has crashed about 4 more times. That stinks. So this is about all that I can write. I had so much more the first time but I lost it all. :-( I am so happy the have the huge, exclusive, and rare picture of the twins newest video's as well as summaries of the vids, release dates, pix from filming and so much more. It will all be available to my club members. This is information you will find NOWHERES else. I am probably the only one on the whole entire internet (not just MKA fans) that has this poster and info cause of it's RARE availability. Amazing! Thanks so much Lyssa for giving it to me!
