Her blue eyes are the size of salad plates, her lips almost too large for her face.
A black fedora is perched low over her shock of tangled blond hair.
Shes impossibly small, her garden-hose legs bottoming out into a pair of ridiculously high black Balenciaga ankle boots.

But I could be in flats and fall.
If she looks just like the overaccessorized doll from all her paparazzi shots here drinking a latte!

We did have to change our signs, though, she says, with an amused sigh.
When we were on location, we couldnt haveWeedssigns up because we would get stalkerazzi.
Theres a reason that Olsen looks so glum in every tabloid shot.
I dont want my picture taken, she says simply.
The only time I think its okay is at a red-carpet event or a photo shoot.

I would love to be able to swim in the ocean in Malibu, she says without bitterness.
But that is asking for a bikini shot.
Thats inviting something that I dont want to happen.
She treats a question about her health today with genuine thoughtfulness.
Mentally, physically, I feel pretty on top of my game right now, she says.
Talk to me next week, I dont know.
Today, I feel good.
Back into the bright world she goes, wobbling away on her giant heels.
