Meet Identical Twins Who Shares Everything – Same Job, Man, Facebook Account

Twin sisters say they decided they want to look identical to be able to share everything in their lives.

Yes, everything: house, bed, boyfriend, Facebook account and even a job.

Anna and Lucy DeCinque, 28-year-olds from Perth, Western Australia, have reportedly spent more than $200,000 to ensure they look identical.

The former Mt Lawley Senior High School students have had chest implants, lip enhancements and tattooed eyebrows. They also undergo weekly skin peels and infra-red sauna treatments, ensure they have the same
diets, exercise routines and wear the same clothes and shoes, the New York Post reported.

The twins, who used to work at Lash Sublime — Eyeline Extensions in Perth, now share a job serving meals to the elderly.

They split shifts and pay. And, yes, they have the same boyfriend.

“We’re dating one boy at the moment,” Anna told the New York Post.

“There are three people in our relationship. We’re sharing.”

Lucy added swiftly: “It’s not really weird to us,” added Lucy. “We have one boyfriend and all of us share the same bed … We have the same taste in everything, so obviously we’re going to like the same boy, too.”

“We’re all together when we have s*x, and if we like the same guy, so be it.”

Anna admitted they dress provocatively in low-cut outfits, body-hugging miniskirts and stilettos.

“We like looking after ourselves, what girl doesn’t?” said Anna.

Lucy added: “We never wear the same outfit twice when we go out.”

“Everything has to be new.” “When we go out, we get so many guys saying they want to marry the both of us or date the both of us,” boasted Anna.

“We can’t imagine a day when we’re not in each other’s company,’’ added Lucy.

“And, to be honest, I don’t think that would ever happen.”

20-best-kendrick lamar guest verses

Not only one of the most gifted MCs of his generation — dare I say of all time — Kendrick Lamar is also one of the hardest working guys in hip-hop. As if crafting one of the most compelling and cohesive rap albums of recent memory wouldn’t fill any mortal musician’s plate, Top Dawg’s top dog racked up a considerable amount of guest appearances (39, to be exact) throughout last year.

Even without a new solo project on the horizon, K. Dot hasn’t taken his foot off the gas in 2013. Coupled with a tireless touring schedule, the Compton King has guested on records by everyone from J. Cole and Kid Cudi to Miguel and Solange. In fact, the demand is so high for Kendrick’s services that his management has “shut down” their MVP for the remainder of the year.

Zoo Ethics: On the Cold-Blooded Murder of a Young Giraffe

Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson

I don’t like any zoo, but I am especially outraged by the action of the Copenhagen Zoo in Denmark on Sunday (February 9).  I am hardly alone:  More than 27,000 people signed a “save Marius petition,” when the zoo announced that zoo officials intended to kill the adorable and much-loved 18-month old Marius. Many thousands of other people around the world have taken to the Internet to express their sadness, their bewilderment, and their horror at this completely unnecessary, even ghoulish act.   It caused revulsion in most people who read about it.  It was an execution many noted.  The reason the zoo gave for killing Marius struck just about every ordinary person as bizarre:  He was killed because his genes were too similar to those of other zoo giraffes in a European breeding program.  “He cannot add anything further to the breeding programme that does not already exist,” a European…
