Two Identites in One

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are very well known for playing the role of Michelle Tanner on "Full House" since they were only nine months old until the age of five or six. Their career in acting began since infancy and they continued with it through many television series along with filming movies and making commercials and being interviewd. Mary-Kate and Ashley duked a very high-stream career making the list of the eleventh richest women in entertainment and they had an estimated net worth of $100 million. Perhaps their talent in acting bumped them into a world of media. These two perhaps did pursue a career of popularity, however, media did overtake their privacy along with their adolescent years to grow up like two normal girls. In 2004 Mary-Kate checked in to rehab because she had an eating disorder called anorexia and Ashley was accused of doing drugs while she informed the media that she never did drugs and she does not use them or sell them. It was perhaps the beginning of a very rough road for Mary-Kate along with her sister Ashley. As they pursued their goal of becoming famous and enjoying a life of pampering, media fully took advantage of them and their personal lives.
The position that I am taking on this is that the system of signs according to my research criterion is that the media went against Mary-Kate and Ashley because of how rich and famous they became. The girl's lives had become a source of public attention and their life seemed "hazardous" because of the certain kind of medium people had approached them with. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are the labels of popularity in the entertainment business and how rich they are which juxtaposes with their talent of becoming fashion designers later in their careers. Most people tend to see them as cocky and stuck up even though there is a lot more to them than that. I may sound stupid writing this but cockiness does not define who they are fully. Every time I hear about them I think of talented, stylish, sophisticated,and perhaps cocky. Of course, the celebrity world does invenst more in cockiness than it does in actual talent to be cocky in the first place but that is just my opinion.
