A Brazilian man was arrested for trying to board a flight at Orlando International Airport while carrying 27 snakes that he’d wrapped in pantyhose and stashed away in inside stereo speakers, authorities said.
A Brazilian man was arrested for trying to board a flight at Orlando International Airport while carrying 27 snakes that he’d wrapped in pantyhose and stashed away in inside stereo speakers, authorities said.
Mateus Del Maso, Jr. checked the speakers as luggage, but they were inspected and the snakes hidden inside were discovered. The creatures never made it onto the aircraft.
Dal Maso purchased the serpents at the National Reptile Breeders Expo in Daytona Beach, Fla. He admitted he was going to carry the snakes – which he valued at about $10,000 – into Brazil and breed them for commercial purposes, a release from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said.
He did not have the proper authorization to take the reptiles — one ball python, seven boa constrictors, and 19 color morph corn snakes — into Brazil.
Dal Maso pleaded guilty on Aug. 23 to attempting to smuggle the snakes. He served two days in Orange County Jail and was fined $6,000. He was also sentenced to one year of supervised release, and must report to a probation officerwithin 72 hours of his arrival if he ever returns to the U.S.
The snakes were taken to an undisclosed care facility.
The arrest came about as a result of a multi-agency law enforcement operation that’s been dubbed “Operation Snake Pit.” The program seeks to prevent the illegal shipping of reptiles.....

I spiritually punished people who maltreat- a self-confessed wizard
Follow@ebonychic4life
A fifteen-year old boy, (name withheld) threw a packed Circuit Court in Cape Coast into shock and disbelief on Tuesday when he revealed that as a wizard he had afflicted mishaps and severe beatings on a lot of people.
He was in court as the prosecution witness in a case in which his siblings; Juliet Mensah, a 22 year old fish monger at Yamoransa, and brother, Jude Mensah, a 36-year old unemployed, living in Accra, had accused one Mr. Alfred Passaw Quansah, a baker at Yamoransa, of being a wizard and transferring his witchcraft to the boy.
Peeved by the accusation, Mr. Quansah, who was the former landlord of his accusers’ elder Sister, Madam Adwoa Mensima, reported the matter to the police who arrested the two, but their accomplice, one Kwabena Badu bolted.
The boy told the bewildered court that as a wizard, he turned into a goat and fed on left overs at ‘chop bars’ and if maltreated during his expeditions, he retaliated by sending those people at night spiritually to his group to punish them.
“We subjected the person to severe beatings spiritually which would render their faces swollen by morning” he said, and added that he has now been exorcised.
Explaining further, the boy said witches and wizards could turn into goats and any other animal they wished to turn into and when asked where he got the witchcraft, he told the court that it was given to him through food by his landlord about two years ago.
Giving the facts of the case at the court presided over by Mrs. Florence Kai Otu, the Prosecutor, General Sergeant Charles Effah, said that about two years ago, the boy lived with his elder Sister Madam Mensima as tenants in the house of Mr. Quansah at Yamoransa, near Cape Coast.
He said the boy misconducted himself severally, and Mr. Quansah who could no longer stand his behavior evicted his sister from the house, after which the boy relocated to Accra to live with his elder brother Jude Mensah.
The Prosecutor said the boy continued his truancy and bad conduct in Accra, and so Jude Mensah sent him to a prayer camp where it was alleged that the boy was a wizard, and when questioned about the source of his witchcraft he mentioned Mr. Quansah as the one who gave it to him.
This revelation led Mensah and his sister together with Badu to the house of Quansah on Sunday, September 16, 2012 at about 1700hrs and accused him of being a wizard, hooted and mocked him, in an attempt to force him to the said prayer camp.
Mr. Quansah then reported the matter to the police and the accused persons, Juliet and Mensah were arrested, and charged with offensive conduct conducive to the breach of the peace, after investigations.
An uncle of the accused persons who was in court pleaded with the court to discontinue the case to pave the way for an amicable settlement at home but Mr. Quansah agreed on the condition that the spiritualist at the said prayer camp declare him of his innocence.
The accused persons should also apologize and retract their statement that he was a wizard.
Mensah was however remanded in police custody whereas Juliet was granted bail in the sum of GH¢5000 with three sureties for the reason that she was nursing a one-year old baby.
The case has been adjourned until Friday, September 28.

Woman with two vaginas rejects $1million offer to make adult film
Follow@ebonychic4life
A woman with two vaginas who has captured the attention of the pórn industry has said she would never consider accepting any role in a film.
Hazel Jones appeared on TV earlier this week, where she revealed she was diagnosed with ‘uterús didelphys’ – a condition which means she has two wombs and two cervixes.
The 27-year-old has since been approached by Vivid Entertainment, a U.S. ádult film production company.
But the horrified blonde, from High Wycombe, claims she would turned down any deal.
According to This Morning, she said: ‘I have never received any offers of this kind of work nor would I never consider doing it in a million years. ‘I just want to be left alone.’
The response comes after founder of Vivid Steven Hirsch wrote a letter to Ms Jones offering her $1m to star in one of his films, TMZ.com revealed. In the letter, Hirsch wrote: ‘You are obviously an extraordinary woman and I would like to make you an offer to star in an upcoming Vivid production.
‘We would pay you up to $1 million for your services.’
‘We would pay you up to $1 million for your services.’
Hirsch also promised to cover travel and accommodation expenses, as the film would be shot in Los Angeles.
Hirsch wrote: ‘We would fly you out to L.A. as soon as you are available and provide you with first class accommodations’
A spokesperson for Vivid confirmed the offer, saying: ‘It’s true. ‘Steven made an offer to Hazel Jones.’
Vivid became the first studio to introduce celebrity séx tapés, showing footage of Pamela Anderson and then-husband Tommy Lee and Kim Kardashian. Hazel Jones has yet to respond to the offer.
But she told ITV’s This Morning she was comfortable with having the condition – despite the fact she had to effectively lose her vírginity twice.
‘Once I found out what it was I told everybody,’ she told TV hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield.
‘I thought it was amazing and it’s definitely an ice-breaker at parties’ She added: ‘If women want to have a look, I’m quite happy to show them, it’s not something I’m embarrassed by.’
Hazel went to the doctor after her long-term boyfriend told her she was ‘different’ in the genital area.
Hazel said previously she had found séx very uncomfortable, but now she didn’t suffer any adverse effects.
She turned down surgery as it could have left significant scar tissue.
Nigerians are UK’s 4th biggest foreign spenders – Report
Follow@ebonychic4life
Every year, Simi Osomo (pictured above) makes six trips to London from Nigeria. The 25-year-old spends about two weeks here and every day she goes shopping. Today she’s at the boutique shop Matches Townhouse in Marylebone with a personal shopper. “When it comes to shopping and Nigerians, I can tell you it’s just what we have to do,” she tells dailypo while admiring the patterned dresses.
Every year, Simi Osomo (pictured above) makes six trips to London from Nigeria. The 25-year-old spends about two weeks here and every day she goes shopping. Today she’s at the boutique shop Matches Townhouse in Marylebone with a personal shopper. “When it comes to shopping and Nigerians, I can tell you it’s just what we have to do,” she tells dailypo while admiring the patterned dresses.
For Nigerians, London is a shopping mecca. Visitors from the West African country are the UK’s fourth biggest foreign spenders, parting with an average of £500 in each luxury shop they visit — four times what UK shoppers typically spend. When Osomo was as how much a two-week shopping trip in London costs she makes a bashful face. “Ooh, should I really be saying this? It depends, but most times about £5,000.”
Osomo is wearing a green top from Zara that’s “the colour of the Nigerian flag”, blue skinny jeans and new Christian Louboutin shoes. Later today she’s going to buy an iPhone 5 for her sister.
“You can get lots of things in Lagos but they are cheaper here and you get to take a holiday and relax a bit. It’s only six hours away.” The number of Nigerian visitors to the UK increased by more than 50 per cent to 142,000 a year between 1991 and 2011, according to the Office for National Statistics. Nigeria is projected to become Africa’s biggest economy by next year and the world’s fifth most populous country by 2050, and London is cashing in.
Debenhams’ Oxford Street branch has put up signs in Hausa, one of the official Nigerian languages, and said customers from this part of West Africa are its biggest overseas spenders. Yet Osomo says it’s not just rich Nigerians who come over. “Middle-class people can afford to come and spend £600 on shopping in a week here. What I like about the UK is that it doesn’t discriminate. As long as you’re able to prove you have an income, accommodation in London and a return ticket, the authorities are more than willing to give you a visa. It’s closer than America and the customer service here is phenomenal.”
Back home in Lagos, the technology market has been flooded with fake products from China, which means more people are coming to London for electronic goods and are even taking items back to sell. “No one wants to spend more than 100,000 naira (£390) and find out it is fake, so they prefer to come over for a holiday and buy something they know is real and has a guarantee in case something goes wrong.”
Marks & Spencer is one of Osomo’s favourite shops. “I love their fajitas. You can’t get them in Nigeria. I also buy soy sauce and Thai green curry paste, which is good because it lasts for a long time. Oh, and Crunchy Nut cereal, Skittles, Maltesers and tea. There’s nothing like a British cuppa. I get Lipton, PG and green tea.” She likes the variety of London. “I love Zara, H&M, Topshop. But if I want something more high end, there’s Sloane Street.”
More than £3 billion a year is spent on high-end goods in London, according to the London Luxury Quarter Report, and it predicts this will rise to £4.5 billion by 2020, with new shops including Burberry’s flagship fuelling the trend. Luxury concierge services are also popular. Osomo is a client of Quintessentially, which organises shopping trips and parties for her and has an office in Lagos.
Although summer is the height of the shopping season, Osomo likes to come back for the January sales too. Her mother, a lawyer, and father, a businessman, often join her. She has just finished a law degree and is about to start a job in fashion journalism, which she hopes will give her enough holidays for trips to London. But flights can get booked up quickly.
“You don’t want to get the Lagos to London flight in July. It’s packed with parents and their kids making noise.” Return flights at high season start at about £369.
But what about getting her haul of shopping back from London to Lagos? That, says Osomo, is costly. “All I pack when I come over is one pair of jeans and three tops. I bring two big suitcases but I always have to get another one and pay for excess baggage. I never learn.” British Airways has increased its excess baggage charge on flights from London to Lagos from £40 to £97 per suitcase in the past year. “They must have realised we always put an extra bag in and thought they’d try to make money out of it,” says Osomo.
Fashion-wise, she still picks up the odd item in Nigeria. Six months ago Zara opened an outlet store in Lagos, and Mango has been there for about a year. “Zara is affordable because it’s an outlet but what I find is that things are a bit last season. Nigeria’s hot all the time so there are always maxi dresses and swimwear but the colours are boring and we lack variety. Customer service is not great and some shops can get really crowded, which is challenging.” There is a burgeoning online shopping industry in Nigeria too. Currently, ASOS is the only shop that ships to Lagos free of charge and everyone Osomo’s age uses it.
“Nigeria is a fun place, I’d encourage people to go. Shopping is evolving. In five years I think a lot of stores will come to Nigeria because there is a gap in the market. Ten years ago I never thought Zara would come to Nigeria. I believe in the next five years we will catch up. But I still love London and won’t stop coming here.”

Photos: The 70 years Old Twin Prostitutes Who Have Slept With Over 300,000 Men In 50 Years

Just two women alone have slept with such a huge number of random persons. On the average, that means they have both slept with 20 men/day over the last 50 years! Isn’t that a record? That is the story of Identical twins Louise and Martine Fokkens, who shot to fame earlier this year as stars of a documentary charting their 50 year careers as prostitutes in Amsterdam.
Identical Twins Louise & Martine Fokkens Have Worked As Prostitutes In Amsterdam For Fifty Years
Now the 70-year-old Dutch sisters are celebrating their retirement with a tell-all book about their lives and the industry, and today they admitted to This Morning hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield that they have entertained 355,000 men between them.
Louise revealed that her bad arthritis meant that she had retired from prostitution two years ago causing the telly hosts to exclaim: ‘No wonder you have arthritis. You must have very flexible hips!’
The Fokken Twins Started Working As Prostitutes In The 1960s
Louise, who became a prostitute aged twenty after a brief spell making lampshades explained how she got in to the business:
‘We didn’t have enough money. ‘My husband’s friends said it was the best way to make money so we decided to find out. I was 20/21 the first time. At first it was a problem for our mother and father but later we all lived normally with it.’
Martine, a mother-of-three who still works as a prostitute two to three times a week said:
‘My family told me about my sister while I was in the hospital having my first baby. I didn’t believe it but we talked about it and I loved her, that’s life.’
Martine then started working at the brothel as a cleaner but two years later decided to join her sister as a prostitute after so many clients mistook her for her identical twin.
Louise, who has four children and nine grandchildren said: ‘I helped her with the first client: told her what she had to do, what she shouldn’t do.’
Unsurprisingly the women are familiar faces around the red light district, and over their five decades working in the sex industry freed themselves from the control of their pimps, ran their own brothel, and set up the first informal trade union for prostitutes.
But out of curiosity, who patronizes a 70 years old prostitute? Certainly not in this climes! And you can imagine, it is the other twin who got introduced to the business that is still ‘enjoying’ it – na wa ooooooooooo

AGELESS: DENZEL WASHINGTON COVERS GQ MAGAZINE OCTOBER 2012
Follow@ebonychic4life
He looks amazing for his cover for GQ Magazine and is the epitome of a man’s man! The dapper man also did a very candid interview with the mag and you can read excerpts below. Hats off to you Mr. Washington because you’re too haute to handle ..hummmmmmmmmmmm
Execepts from Mr Washington’s interview! For the entire interview, go to GQ!
On his first memory of being onstage: ”I was around 7, 8, whatever I was. We did a talent show at the Boys Club. Me and another guy, Wayne Bridges—God rest his soul—he’s the father of Chris Bridges, Ludacris. We decided to be the Beatles. So we went to John’s Bargain Store and bought fake guitars and wigs and did ‘I Want to Hold Your Hand.’”
On whether he has any code he lives by: “I read from the Bible every day, and I read my Daily Word. I read something great yesterday. It said, ‘Don’t aspire to make a living. Aspire to make a difference.’”
On having said that he once felt himself being filled with the Holy Spirit: “That was thirty years ago, at the church I still attend. The minister was preaching, ‘Just let it go.’ I said, I’m going to go with it.’ And I had this tremendous physical and spiritual experience. It did frighten me. I was slobbering, crying, sweating. My cheeks blew up. I was purging. It was too intense. It almost drove me away. I called my mother, and she said I was being filled with the Holy Spirit. I was like, ‘Does that mean I can never have wine again?’”
On how he felt when Whitney Houston died: “Whitney was my girl, and she had done so well in recovery. And that is the toughest part about addiction.”
On how he thinks Obama fits in now: “Well, the story’s not told yet. He’s in the beginning of the third quarter. I don’t know what his legacy is yet. He’s the first—that’s a part of it. Like Jackie Robinson. But it just wasn’t the first game; it was lasting the whole thing.”
