The oldest hookers in town: The 69-year-old twin sisters who are both prostitutes… and have over a century of experience between them

Turning tricks: Amsterdam prostitutes Louise and Martine Fokkens are the subjects of a new documentary that sees then discuss their 50-year careers in the city's Red Light District A candid documentary about a pair of 69-year-old prostitute twin sisters is to make its debut at New York's Film Forum festival this summer. Louise and Martine, who are veterans of Amsterdam's famous Red Light District and have a century of experience between them, star in Meet the Fokkens. In a trailer, released today, they describe how times have changed since they started their career in the early Sixties, and how they feel about the public perception of their trade It features a voiceover from Louise, who says: 'I can't tell you how many tricks we've had, countless. 'We hardly ever really f****d unless they paid us well.' Comparing the early days of the prostitution world with the present day, she recalls: 'In the old days, the local copper would tap on the window if a girl was showing too much ankle, now the girls deal coke from their cubicles.' Louise explains that arthritis forced her to retire two years ago, because she 'couldn’t get one leg over the other' - though her sister continues to wor

'My twin sister is still working in her old age,' she says. 'She needs the money. You can't live off a state pension.' The trailer then shows a scene in which Martine is preparing herself for a job. She is seen calling out to her unseen client: 'I'm almost there... Did you hear me?' An anonymous voice replies: 'Yes mistress,' to which she responds: 'Good Boy.' The sisters can also be seen browsing a display of vibrators together in a sex shop, discussing the quality of the products on offer, and how they might use them

Man goes to hospital with a kidney stone... and discovers he's a woman A man who went to hospital with a kidney stone was stunned when a nurse gave him his results - and revealed that he was actually a woman. Steve Crecelius, a photographer from Denver, Colorado, was born with both male and female traits and had long repressed his feminine side. But after an ultrasound made the discovery, he no longer lives as a man and goes by 'Stevie' - a move that his wife and their six children support

'I remember wearing my mom’s clothes and makeup, very secretly, not telling anybody,' Crecelius, who chose to hide behind a male persona, told Fox31. But 40 years later, the nurse gave the explanation for his feelings, revealing that he was intersex 'I had a kidney stone and we’re in the emergency room,' Crecelius said. 'The nurse is reading the ultrasound and says, "Huh, this says you’re a female". It validated everything I had always felt inside.' While Crecelius appeared to have male genitalia, the ultrasound indicated he also had internal female sex organs - just one of the conditions under the umbrella term 'intersex'

While Crecelius appeared to have male genitalia, the ultrasound indicated he also had internal female sex organs - just one of the conditions under the umbrella term 'intersex'. Support: Stevie's wife Debbie, right, stood by her after the discovery and they are still together Family: Stevie, with one of her six children, said she had feared their reaction - but they have supported her When they arrived home, his wife Debbie forced him to talk about it - a conversation that Crecelius had avoided in fear that he would lose his family. WHAT IS INTERSEX? Intersex is the term for a group of conditions where there is a discrepancy between the external genitals and the internal genitals (the testes and ovaries). For example, a person may have male genitals but also have fallopian tubes and ovaries. Or a person might have female genitalia but have testes inside their body or male chromosomes. The condition, which used to be called hermaphroditism, means that a person cannot be classified clearly as a male or female. It is hard to determine the number of cases in the U.S., due to how a person may appear to be of a decisive gender. But the Intersex Society of North America notes that medical experts say one in 1,500 children are born with noticeably atypical genitalia. But rather than walking away, she was supportive, choosing to deal with the news by taking Stevie shopping for her first bra, The Denver Post reported. Debbie admitted it has not been easy and feared that she would never get her husband back - but stood by Stevie, saying: 'You will be who you are'. 'I didn’t sign on for this, but who signs on for anything?' Debbie told Fox31. 'She’s the same person she was as a he on the inside.' They battled through by being open about their concerns as they adjusted through the changes. 'We asked each other questions,' Debbie told the Post. 'He asked me, "What if you meet someone along the way?" I said, "What if you meet someone?" The road goes both ways.' The couple, who have now been together more than 25 years, still share a room and a bed together. 'She still relates to my heart and soul, and I still relate to hers, and I think that that’s the essence of true love,' Crecelius said.

'Just finish it here,' Shafilea Ahmed's mother told her husband as they suffocated her with a plastic bag, daughter tells courtYounger sister Alesha broke down in tears as she described the moment Shafilea was allegedly killed for being 'westernised' Shafilea's eyes were 'really wide... You could tell she was gasping for air', Alesha said Jury hears victim 'wet herself because she was struggling so much' Shafilea lost 5st after drinking bleach in fear she was going to be left in Pakistan by her family She went to the bathroom 'and a few minutes later everybody heard a scream,' Alesha said Shafilea argued with mother after she was seen out of the house without wearing a shawl, court told Parents Iftikhar and Farzana deny murdering their daughter in 2003 Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2148774/Shafilea-Ahmed-trial-Mother-said-Just-finish-moments-suffocating-daughter-court-hears.html#ixzz1vuQMrH8T

The mother of a girl allegedly murdered for defying her strict Muslim parents began the fatal attack with the words 'Just finish it here', a court heard yesterday. As Shafilea Ahmed's younger brother and sisters watched, an argument which began over the 17-year-old wearing a skimpy T-shirt ended with her parents pushing a plastic bag in her mouth and suffocating her on the settee, the jury was told. Her younger sister Alesha, then just 15, said she saw Shafilea's eyes bulging as she gasped for breath and kicked out while Iftikhar Ahmed and his wife Farzana held their hands over her face. She told the jury that after the couple pushed Shafilea's limp body on to the floor, her father punched the teenager once in the chest at the family home in Warrington. That evening, she said, their 13-year-old brother Junyade told his surviving sisters: 'She deserved it.' Shafilea's remains were found on a riverbank in Cumbria five months later. But it was not until 2010 that Alesha – now 23 – came forward to give her account of the killing. Giving evidence from behind a screen at Chester Crown Court for a second day, Alesha said her sister wanted to continue in the sixth form of her secondary school to further her ambition of becoming a lawyer. However her parents objected because of the westernised lifestyle she and her friends there had led, so she went to a nearby college instead. Shafilea also got a part-time telesales job after lessons, the court heard, and would be picked up by one of her parents every evening On September 11, 2003, said Alesha, she accompanied her mother to bring Shafilea home. The 17-year-old was wearing a lilac V-neck T-shirt and white trousers made from stretchy material with ties at the hips, while she was carrying a cardigan. Asked about their mother's reaction by prosecutor Andrew Edis, QC, she answered: 'She wasn't happy about her being in just a T-shirt.' When they got home, Mrs Ahmed spoke to her taxi driver husband, and the argument about 'her not wearing her jumper' continued in the living room, she added. The mother then passed Shafilea's bags to her son to search for money and boys' numbers, which was normal practice. After he found cash including a £20 note, the argument escalated, Alesha added, as the siblings plus their two younger sisters – aged 12 and seven – looked on. Then, she told the jury: 'My mum said "Just finish it here" to my dad.' She said her mother had spoken the words in Urdu. Alesha said her mother then pushed Shafilea on to the settee before both parents started hitting her and one said: 'Grab a bag.'

Alesha said she went upstairs to the bedroom the sisters shared before sneaking back down and seeing her mother in the kitchen, sorting through old 'flowery' sheets, bin bags and rolls of tape. Later, through the curtains, she glimpsed her father carrying a dark package up the driveway with his arms outstretched, 'like a cradle', she said. 'The way he was carrying it, it just looked like it was my sister.' Tragic: Shafilea had been a keen student at her school in Warrington, Cheshire, and enjoyed trips to shopping centres and wearing Western clothes Shortly afterwards, she heard a car leaving. She said the siblings were all crying and upset – apart from Junyade. 'My brother said to me and my sisters that she deserved it.' Alesha said she was told to say Shafilea had run away from home. The next day, however, she 'blurted out' to three friends that her father had killed her sister and chopped up her body, but begged them to keep it secret. After school, for the first time ever, she changed into clothes belonging to Shafilea and went with friends to a park, drinking cider and alcopops, she said. But rumours were already swirling around that Shafilea had been 'chopped up' and 'buried in the family's back garden', so she returned home. Shafilea was reported missing after teachers heard the rumours but, when questioned by police, Alesha denied saying she had been killed. Asked by Mr Edis what she thought would happen to her if she had repeated her account to police, she answered: 'The same thing that happened to my sister.' She said her parents warned their children to 'be careful' of what they said inside the house in case listening devices had been planted by police. It was only in 2010 after Alesha was arrested over a robbery at the family home during which her mother, surviving sisters and brother were tied up that she told police she had seen Shafilea's killing. Mr Edis has told the court Alesha admits her role in the robbery and has been given no 'inducements' to give evidence against her parents. Iftikhar Ahmed, 52, and his 49-year-old wife deny murder. The case continues.

Japanese man, 22, cooks his own genitals and serves them up to paying guests at a dinner party Mao Sugiyama cooked his own genitalia and garnished them with mushrooms and parsley Five guests paid around £160 each for the meal Sugiyama, 22, who is asexual, voluntarily underwent surgery to have his penis removed Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2149879/Japanese-man-22-cooks-genitals-serves-paying-dinner-party-guests.html#ixzz1vuNQXCrJ

A man who had his genitals removed seasoned them before cooking them for five paying dinner party guests, it has been claimed. Mao Sugiyama, 22, who is asexual, had voluntarily undergone surgery to have them removed. But the illustrator took his frozen penis and scrotum home from hospital and organised a grim party. Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2149879/Japanese-man-22-cooks-genitals-serves-paying-dinner-party-guests.html#ixzz1vuNrO8CE He charged guests around £160 per person to eat his severed genitalia in Tokyo, Japan. They were garnished with mushrooms and parsley. Before tucking into dinner, guests sat down to listen to a piano recital and take part in a panel discussion, CalorieLab.com reported. Mao, who goes by the nickname HC, had initially considered eating his own penis – but decided to serve them up instead. He cooked the genitalia himself as he was supervised by a chef. In a Tweet, he offered to cook his penis for a guest for £800. However, he ultimately decided to split the ‘meal’ between six guests. He wrote on Twitter: ‘I am offering my male genitals (full penis, testes, scrotum) as a meal for 100,000 yen (£800).

I was tested to be free of venereal diseases. The organs were of normal function. I was not receiving female hormone treatment. ‘First interested buyer will get them, or I will also consider selling to a group. Will prepare and cook as the buyer requests, at his chosen location. If you have questions, please contact me by DM or e-mail.’ In total around 70 people attended the event in the Suginami ward of Tokyo. While five people tucked into Mao Sugiyama’s genitalia, the rest of them ate beef or crocodile

where it all awent down The people who ate his genitalia were a 30-year-old couple, a 22-year-old women, a 32-year-old man and Shigenobu Matsuzawa, 29, an event planner. He Tweeted before the event: ‘It’s a once in a lifetime chance, so I decided on the spur of the moment to do it.’ He posted pictures of the event on his blog, but later removed them and said his decision to take them down was due to ‘privacy considerations’. Sugiyama made guests sign a waiver so he was not responsible if they became ill after eating his genitalia. They were removed in early April shortly after his 22nd birthday. The dinner party organiser joked before the event that he would be posting his recipe online. Guests said that the genitalia were very rubbery and tasted of very little, CalorieLab.com reported. Suginami Police were contacted but did not launch an investigation because they said nothing had been done which was against the law. Sugiyama, who is an illustrator, has also had his nipples removed. As an asexual, his genitalia will not be replaced with artificial female ones Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2149879/Japanese-man-22-cooks-genitals-serves-paying-dinner-party-guests.html#ixzz1vuOKPGY4
