[[ The Bouvier Sisters (Patricia "Patty" and Selma, voiced by Julie Kavner) are fictional characters on The Simpsons. They are Marge's two cynical chain-smoking older twin sisters. They both work at the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and have a strong dislike for Homer. Selma is the older of two as she was born two minutes before Patty. Creator Matt Groening has said that he named the Simpsons after his own parents and two younger sisters, so it is interesting to note that he has an older sister named Patty who is an art dealer.

Personalities
Selma reportedly lacks the senses of taste and olfaction due to a childhood bottle rocket accident. Both twin sisters tend to be cynical and are noted for their strong dislike for their brother-in-law and their addiction to tobacco smoking. Selma's favorite brand of cigarettes is identified as "Laramie Hi-Tars," while Patty favorite brand of cigarettes is identified as "Lady Laramie 100s." They share an apartment and work together at the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), although on numerous occasions they have acted in a unprofessional manner when doing their job. For example, allowing Otto to get a driver's licence due to their mutual dislike for Homer which developed while Otto was briefly living with the Simpson family.

Most recently, Selma adopted a Chinese baby, Ling, after signs of menopause. During the process, however, Selma had to pretend to be married to Homer, since the Chinese government only allowed their children to be adopted to successful couples.

The Bouviers and the Simpsons As children, Patty and Selma were reportedly rather domineering towards Marge and ridiculed her ambition of becoming an astronaut. However, their relationship seems to have improved over the years. As adults, the Bouvier twins appear to have a friendly relationship with their sister and frequently visit the Simpsons. They seem relatively fond of their nieces and nephew. They have, on occasion, watched the kids when their parents were out of town. However, Bart and Lisa would rather not be around when their aunts ask for a foot massage. Their idea of bonding with Lisa includes tutoring her in the belief that men are pigs, using Homer as the prime example.

Their relationship with Homer remains one of mutual dislike (although Selma seems to like Homer slightly more ). They have continued to exchange insults since the day Marge first introduced them to each other. They tend to compare their brother-in-law to a caveman. They have even suggested him capable of trading Maggie for beer and a nudie magazine. Selma and Patty have occasionally expressed their common hope that Marge will eventually divorce Homer. They are usually quick in discovering and pointing out his attempts at insincerity and/or infidelity. They have offered Marge their help in finding a replacement for Homer. The couple, however, is still together after a decade of marriage.

Romantic Liaisons Despite being identical twins, Patty and Selma Bouvier have had very different track records when it comes to finding dates. According to Marge, Patty chose a life of celibacy, while Selma had celibacy thrust upon her (a sly reference to Malvolio in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night). This presumably explains her occasional attempts at romance. Her standards tend to be rather low though, as evidenced by her comments on Charles Montgomery Burns: "Single, eh? Well, he passes the Selma-test." In the February 20, 2005 episode, "There's Something About Marrying", Patty came out as a lesbian after Springfield legalized same-sex marriage. However, before their own wedding, Patty's partner Veronica was revealed to be a man who had disguised his gender to get into the LPGA tour. Patty's sexuality had earlier been hinted at when her voice was recognizably coming from an "in the closet" float on the Springfield Gay Pride Parade. Another hint from an earlier episode as to Patty's sexuality is from "Treehouse of Horror III" where Patty sees Homer naked and says "There goes the last lingering thread of my heterosexuality." Finally, a photograph of Patty exiting the infamous Springfield burlesque house (with only a small fraction of her face blacked out) was displayed during a town hall meeting. Selma does indeed indignantly exclaim, "Patty!" when the picture is shown. Celibacy may refer either to being unmarried or to sexual abstinence. ...
