''Very Mary-Kate'' Is a web series written/created by Elaine Carroll and directed by Sam Reich. The series consists of 71 episodes, as of January 17, 2013. Each episode runs for approximately 1–4 minutes, featuring comedienne Elaine Carroll as Mary-Kate Olsen. The series was originally produced out-of-pocket, but was picked up for its second season by CollegeHumor, allowing Carroll to “pay for lunch for people.” The series premiered January 10, 2010 on Vimeo. The current (fourth) season debuted January 17, 2013 on CollegeHumor and VeryMaryKate.com. According to an interview with The @rcade, Carroll originally used an impression of the Olsen twins during an audition for Saturday Night Live. Carroll indicates that, "It went over really well," but "obviously I didn't get on the show." She continued to do the impression, and decided to expand it into a series to put on the internet. In other interviews, Carroll states that she had been doing the Olsen twin impression for about two years before making a short video called “The Olsen Twin Minute” that “featured Mary-Kate and Ashley in a talk show.” The experience led Carroll to realize she wanted to do more with the twin impression and “started trying to visualize what life is like for them. They’re rich and famous, but also kind of mysterious and private, which leaves a ton of room for the imagination.” Taking facts she already knew, such as Olsen’s use of a bodyguard and taking classes at NYU, Carroll crafted a web series that “started filling in the blanks.” Utilizing various social media tools, “Very Mary-Kate” has maintained a steady internet presence since its inception. The web series has a Facebook page, with information and videos, as well as a Facebook application that users can allow to post videos and information about the show on their personal profiles. VMK characters can also be found tweeting regularly on Twitter. The @VeryMaryKate Twitter account has been running since April 2009 and “provides no shortage of great one-liners and increases the show’s social networking component.” The show also maintains a YouTube profile, but all videos and information premiere first on CollegeHumor, along with site exclusives and videos that cannot be shown on YouTube. ==Plot== “Very Mary-Kate” is the “unofficial biography of everyone’s favorite Olsen twin,” Mary-Kate Olsen. Carroll’s portrayal of Olsen takes several well-known facts of Mary-Kate Olsen’s life (such as attending NYU and picking up occasional acting jobs) and “expands on them, creating a character who’s a weak-yet-demanding kitten obsessed with calories, abusing her bodyguard and getting her hands on the good drugs.”〔 The series follows the adventures of Carroll’s Mary-Kate Olsen including daily routines, classes at NYU, religious experiences, major life decisions (moving out from an apartment shared with twin sister Ashley Olsen, deciding to have a baby, and more) and general troublesome situations in which Mary-Kate seems to find herself (for instance, Trip to Las Vegas: Parts 1-4). Mary-Kate often indulges in smoothies and power drinks that are infused with some variety of a psycho-pharmaceutical adulterant such as Mango Klonopin smoothies, Celexa Mimosas and Paxil-Paxil Protein Shakes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Very Mary-Kate」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
