Extreme Obsession: Twins Spend £130,000 To Look More Identical
Anna and Lucy DeCinque from Perth, Australia, born a minute apart, are dubbed the "world's
most identical twins" as they have stunned people around them with their mirrored looks
and lifestyles.
These 30-year-old twins are inseparable and share everything in their life – a job,
a car, a Facebook account and even their boyfriend.
In fact, they are contemplating to marry their 5-year-old boyfriend Ben Byrne, 33.
Anna and Lucy have taken being identical twins to another level by spending a fortune, a
cost of an astonishing $240,800 (Australian dollars) or £130,000 on cosmetic surgery
to erase any tiny differences between them that may remain.
They have had identical procedures done including lip fillers, breast implants, fake eyebrows
and eyelashes.
Everything they do is coordinated: from living together, to the job they share – working
with the elderly – the twins always prefer to not stay more than a few metres away from
each other.
The sisters, who don't drink or smoke, take great pride in their appearances, purchase
every outfit in duplicate but never repeat them on their night outs.

Joined At The Head, Conjoined Twins Defy Odds Sudan-born conjoined twins Rital and Ritag
Gaboura, who were joined at the head were rushed to Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital,
London by their doctor parents when Ritag's heart was already failing.
The twins were born with one of the most serious forms of the condition where they both shared
blood vessels.
Ritag supplied half her sister's brain with and drained most of it back into her body
to re-oxygenate.
This meant her heart did and took most of the work/pressure resulting in her heart to
start failing.
The twins were given survival odds of '1-in-10 million', as any significant drop in blood
pressure during surgery could have caused major brain damage.
But, they did successfully undergo surgery in 4 complex stages in September 2011.
They were fitted with special pink helmets that they had to wear for 23 hours in a day
to help shape their heads as they grew.
8.Longest, Oldest Living Conjoined Twins Ronnie and Donnie Gaylon, the conjoined twins
were born healthy in Dayton, Ohio, US on October 28, 1951.
Joined at the waist, they face each other, have 4 arms, 4 legs, separate hearts and stomachs
but share a lower digestive tract, a groin, a rectum and private part over which Donnie
has control.
The twins had to stay in the hospital for 2 years soon after birth as the doctors tried
figuring out how to separate them but then felt that both would not survive an operation
meant to part them.
The parents then decided to let them be as they were.
From as early as age 4, the twins supported their family by performing in carnivals in
the US and circuses throughout Central and South America where they performed magic tricks.
They were treated like 'rock stars'.
The Gaylon twins celebrated their 63rd birthday at Florida's Disney World as they beat the
previous record holders, Italian twins Giacomo and Giovanni Battista Tocci, who were born
in 1877 and lived to be 63.
The conjoined twins took retirement at the age 0f 39 in 1991 to move close to their 11
years younger, brother Jim, in Beavercreek.

Two Heads Are Better Than One – The Amazing Life Of Conjoined Twins
Abigail (Abby) and Brittany Hensel, born on March 7, 1990 in Minnesota, US are one of
the rarest set of "Dicephalus Twins" to survive infancy.
Statistics claim that one set of twins in every 40,000 is born connected to the other
twin and only 1% of such twins survive beyond a year of their birth.
Proving their fate wrong, Abby and Brittany have survived all odds and are going strong
at 26.
The twins have 2 heads, 2 hearts, 2 spines joined at the pelvis, 4 lungs, 2 esophagi,
3 kidneys, a rib cage, a liver, a partially shared nervous system and a shared circulatory
system.
Waist down, the twins share all the organs including the reproductive system, intestines
and bladder.
They were born with 3 arms, one was surgically removed soon after their birth.
Abby who is on the right, can't feel anything on the left side of the body and Brittany
who is on the left can't feel anything on her right side; yet the twins have good coordination
in whatever they do whether it is driving a car, playing a piano or sports.

Twin Boys, Twin Lives: "Jim Twins" We hear astonishing stories about identical
twins behaving and leading nearly identical lives, but you will all be amazed to read
eerie similarities between these identical twins who were separated by adoption at three
weeks of birth.
The twin boys Jim Lewis and Jim Springer from Ohio, US, separated at birth and unknown to
each other, began their parallel lives and the coincidences began.
Both were named 'Jim' by their adoptive parents, oblivious to one other.
The Jim twins grew up within 40 miles of each other in different homes, yet both enjoyed
math, mechanical drawing and carpentry in school, sought law-enforcement training, and
both pursued similar adult occupations: Lewis worked as a security guard at a steel mill
and Springer was a deputy sheriff.
Each married woman named Linda, only to divorce and remarry and both their women had the same
name Betty.
They both have sons whom one named James Alan Lewis and the other named James Allan Springer.
And they both owned dogs which they named Toy.
Interestingly, both suffered headaches from tension, were prone to nail biting, were chain-smokers,
drank beer, drove the same type of car Chevrolet and even vacationed at the same beach in Florida.
Initially Jim Lewis was told that he had a twin who had died after birth but later his
adoptive mom came to know about the other living twin while settling the adoption paperwork
and let Jim Lewis know about it.
Jim Lewis and Jim Springer finally met in February 9, 1979 after 39 years of being separated.

Different Fathers, Half-Brothers A Dutch couple, Wilma and Willem Stuart, after
unsuccessfully trying to conceive for 6 years, decided to give IVF (In-vitro Fertilization)
a shot.
Soon, they learnt Wilma was pregnant with twins.
On December 1, 1993, Wilma gave birth to fraternal twins, Tuen who seemed to have taken to the
white Dutch heritage of his parents, had blue eyes, dark hair and pink skin; and Koen sported
a much darker complexion with dark eyes and dark hair.
The Stuarts questioned the hospital nurses for the difference and were told that Koen
could have been brown skinned due to jaundice.
When Koen developed a bronchial infection, and had to be taken to a new pediatrician,
the question popped up again for the difference in their color.
So, the Stuarts were curious to know if the twins were biologically related at all.
A DNA test was conducted which revealed that Tuen was the Stuarts child but Koen was not
Willem's.
The report of the investigation though not made public, was speculated to be a goof up,
an error with hygiene.
It is said that probably a piece of lab equipment called 'pipette', had been used twice,
causing another man's sperm to be mixed with Willem's.
A dark-skinned man from the Caribbean island of Aruba was later confirmed by the hospital
as the father of Koen.
The Stuarts love both their sons and have continued to raising them together.

Despite DNA Evidence, Twins Charged In Jewelry Heist, Go Scot-Free
Three masked, gloved thieves, in the early morning hours of February 25 broke into Germany's
luxurious seven-storey department store Kaufhaus des Westens snatched $6.8 million worth of
jewelry from the cases/cabinets and were seen on surveillance cameras sliding down ropes
from the store's skylights, outsmarting its sophisticated security system.
When police found traces of DNA, found in a drop of sweat on a discarded latex glove,
they ran the material through the German crime database and got a hit — two in fact, identified
as 27-year-old Lebanese identical twins Hassan and Abbas O.
The twins were arrested and charged for this spectacular multi million-dollar jewelry heist,
an offense that carries a potential 10-year prison sentence but were freed/released without
trial as the traces of DNA (a drip of sweat) found at the crime scene failed to provide
conclusive evidence and point to the alleged culprit and also because the law in Germany
doesn't allow to detain someone indefinitely just because he is suspected of a crime.

A One-In-A-Million Black And White Combination The world is also witnessing a one-in-a-million
combination of parents' genes, the rarest of rare mixed race non-identical twins with
different skin colors.
A mixed-race British mom, Kylie Hodgson, gave birth in April 2005 to twins, Kian and Remee,
one of each — one black, the other white.
Occurrences of this kind happens only when a woman conceives twins fathered by two different
men, but this was a much rarer case since a single combination produced twins who clearly
have different physical features as in eye color, hair color and skin tone rather than
having a blend of their parents' characteristics.
The twin's parents, mom Kylie and dad Remi Horder, are of mixed race themselves, both
having been born to white mothers and black fathers, hence the twin girls were both born
with blue eyes, with Remee having blonde hair and lighter skin tone and Kian having black
hair and somewhat darker skin than her sister.

Silent Twins With Deadly Agreement Caribbean immigrants Gloria and Aubrey Gibbons
gave birth to identical twins, June and Jennifer Gibbons who were born on April 11, 1963 and
grew up in Britain.
The twin sisters were inseparable, had speech impediments, and because they were the only
black children in their school, they faced racism making it very hard for them to mix
in with other children.
They spoke to none except each other.
Thus, they came to be known as 'the Silent Twins'.
In their teens, the girls were given two diaries as Christmas gifts, which inspired them to
take a course in creative writing through mail, and each wrote several novels that were
published.
But, to gain publicity for their books, for their desperate need for recognition and fame,
the girls committed several petty crimes including arson.
The girls June and Jennifer were thus committed to Broadmoor Hospital, a mental health hospital
where they remained for 14 years.
They soon lost all interest in creative writing due to the high dosage of medications given
to them.
Apparently, the girls had made a long agreement that if one died, the other must begin to
speak and live a normal life.
During their stay in the hospital, they began to believe that it was necessary for one twin
to die.
Jennifer eventually agreed to be the sacrifice.
In March 1993, within hours from their release at the age of 30 Jennifer died of sudden inflammation
of the heart.
To this day, Jennifer's death remains a mystery.
After losing her twin, June started to speak with other people and was planning to resume
her writing career.

Different Strokes: The Twins That Everyone Can Tell Apart
Lucy and Maria Aylmer, non-identical fraternal twins, were born in January 1997 in Gloucester,
UK to a half Jamaican mom named Donna and a white dad named Vince.
Lucy is recognized for her fair skin, bright blue eyes and for her long and straight, ginger
colored hair.
Maria, on the other hand, has caramel-colored complexion and thick, curly black hair.
Their discernible physical attributes make it hard for anyone as such to believe that
these two girls are twins for real.
Analysis says that both Lucy and Maria's mother carried the genes for both white and
black skin and so could have passed them to her twins.
According to experts, non-identical fraternal twins come from separate eggs fertilized by
two separate sperm cells so inherit different genes.
They also believe that the chances of bi-racial twins to be born with different skin color
is about 1 out of 500 and this applies only to non-identical twins.
The twins' interests are as different as their looks.
'Outgoing' Maria studies law at Cheltenham College, while 'shy' Lucy studies art and
design at Gloucester College.
