      I recently rewatched all their movies in a wave of nostalgia. They were so fun.

      I think of all the female celebrities I grew up with, these two are the most intriguing. They are fascinating and fabulous and I can’t wait until we get a good biography on them.

      In all seriousness, I hope they have a nice private celebration. Together or on their own. Icons!

      One of two famous sets of twins I share a birthday with! ♊️ love it! I hope they enjoy their 40th. They deserve a peaceful adulthood.

      Ugh I respect their choice to be out of the limelight but man, miss them! Would’ve loved to see a cute sisters movie with Elizabeth.

    6. We’re we just counting down until they were 18 years old about 5 years ago?

      I really like that they seem to be living the lives that they want. Happy birthday to them, I hope it’s a good one.

    8. I was absolutely obsessed with them as a tween/teen. My favourites were the series So Little Time and the movies New York Minute and the Rome one where they went to fashion school. I had all the DVDs, all the PlayStation games, all the playsets and dolls :’)

      I wish the world, and the media in particular, had treated them kinder especially in their late teens. The media was so gross to them and I think that’s a large part of why they’re so reclusive now.

      I’m glad they’ve found a place in fashion, they seem to genuinely enjoy it. But I do wonder how differently things could have gone if they weren’t treated the way they were coming up to their 18th or when MK was struggling. I love them, they were such an important part of my tween years :’)

    9. That movie where the witch got trapped in the mirror used to scare the shit out of me

      I had no idea they were the same age as me! I always thought they were a bit younger, but I think that’s because as a child in the UK we were always getting their shows and movies a few years late so I always continuously saw them at a younger age.

      Yesterday was mine – I was born Thursday the 12th, they were born Friday the 13th. I always felt some totally unearned sense of connection with them as a kid because of that.
