Teenage girl sells her virginity to British bidder for £200,000



An 18-year-old Hungarian girl who put her virginity up for sale to the highest bidder is on her way to Britain after a buyer from the UK pledged to cough up £200,000.

The girl - who identified herself only as 'Miss Spring' - is a student that hopes one day to be a doctor - but lives with her mother and brother in a small village in Hungary with little possibility to study or find work.

The girl was so desperate to be allowed to sell her virginity that after the bid was closed down on eBay she wrote to papers like the Huffington Post, The Telegraph and The Sun and to celebrities like Lady Gaga and Madonna, attracting enough attention that some of the original bidders were allowed to continue offering bids via email.

It came down to a final battle between a British man and an Irish man, with the British man winning, although the Irish bidder is reportedly still trying to gazump the deal.

The pretty blond dreams of going to university to become a doctor and has already qualified for a place - but has put it on hold for her family.

She said: "My family has debts, we cannot afford to pay them. My mother borrowed a lot of money in Swiss Francs, and now with the credit crunch in Hungary the repayments in Hungarian forints have tripled, she couldn't pay it back. We faced losing our home and being on the street. I want to be able to pay back those loans - that's why I came up with the idea for this auction.

"It is not such a lot of money for what is on offer, considering half will vanish in tax, but it will be enough to pay of my debts and leave us clear.

"I was in contact with two final bidders - the Irish guy and the British guy. Both wanted me to come to them. I chose the British guy. He was very sympathetic to my cause.

"Both men wanted to marry me take care of me and my family. But for me this was supposed to be a one off thing. Getting married and living with someone is a challenge I am not sure I am yet ready for.

"However I would really like the opportunity to go to Britain or Ireland. So who knows." In her blog she does not say how she is proceeding to conclude the deal.

Naked woman falls through roof in Aberdeen


The accident happened yesterday after the woman clambered out of a third floor window that she’d smashed with her partner.

The pair, both in their twenties, stripped off and had sex on the roof - but then the earth moved in entirely the wrong way for the woman when she plunged through the roof slates into an empty photography shop.

The saucy shenanigans were heard by a builder working in the flats on Aberdeen’s Bridge Street. He said: ‘They made a hell of a racket. They put me off my work.

‘God knows why they thought it was going to be a good idea.

‘But it all ended in tears and the next thing I knew the police, ambulance and fire brigade were all here.

‘They landed me with extra work because I had to patch up the window that they smashed.’

The woman had to be released by the emergency services and incredibly only suffered minor injuries, although she was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary for a check-up.

A witness described her as looking shell-shocked.

One thing’s for certain – she has definitely fallen for her partner.

Audrey Hepburn voted most beautiful woman of the 20th century




Actress Audrey Hepburn has been voted the most beautiful woman of the 20th century.

The star beat fellow beauties such as Marilyn Monroe and Grace Kelly to top a poll for shopping channel QVC.

Hepburn was perhaps most famed for her classic glam pose in a black Givenchy dress, pearls and gloves in the 1961 film Breakfast At Tiffany's.

The actress - who died in 1993 and was also a Unicef ambassador - narrowly held off the nation's 21st century crush, Cole, who took the runner-up spot.

Third place went to Some Like It Hot siren Monroe, famed for her pout and classic curves.

Kelly, later Princess Grace of Monaco, made an appearance in fifth position, while Diana, Princess of Wales, was ranked eighth.

Surprisingly, Sophia Loren and Elizabeth Taylor were not in the top 10.

The survey was carried out to celebrate the start of QVC's Beauty Month throughout July with more than 2,000 women being asked to choose the top beauties of the past 100 years.

Someone who knows a little about beauty is Victoria & Albert Museum curator Jenny Lister.

"I think what is interesting about this top 10 is how different all these women are," she told Sky News Online.

"Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly both seem to be equally enduring in their appeal as style icons, but they represented quite opposing looks - Audey Hepburn was more individual and quirky, while Grace Kelly's signature style was classic, and elegant.

"Perhaps they shared a similar taste for simplicity, and were true to their own fashion sense. Grace Kelly said that clothes should enhance the wearer's personality rather than dominate - maybe that's the secret."

Just missing the top 10 were Kylie Minogue, Beyonce Knowles and Audrey Tatou.

The top 10 most beautiful women were voted as:

1. Audrey Hepburn
2. Cheryl Cole
3. Marilyn Monroe
4. Angelina Jolie
5. Grace Kelly
6. Scarlett Johansson
7. Halle Berry
8. Diana, Princess of Wales
9. Kelly Brook
10. Jennifer Aniston

Man Marries a Dog - True Story


We have all heard the 'hair of the dog' saying, but how about a real-life 'man marries dog' tale!

This one takes the biscuit, and it could only happen in India, the land of the Kama Sutra.

But you won't find this kind of love story between man and beast in the ancient Indian sex manual.

It took place for real during a traditional hindu ceremony at a temple in the southern state of Tamil Nadu.

The groom in question was a 33-year-old Indian farmer named Selvakumar, and he was wed to a female dog named Selvi.

He married his four legged bitch to atone for stoning two other dogs to death and stringing them up in a tree 15 years ago.

He believed the act cursed him and he had been suffering ever since, he told the Hindustan Times.

After he stoned the dogs he said his legs and hands got paralysed, he lost hearing in one ear, and his speech was impaired.

With doctors unable to help him, Selvakumar turned to an astrologer who told him he was cursed by the spirits of the dogs he had killed.

He could undo the curse only if he married a dog and live with it, the soothsayer warned.

Family members chose a stray female dog who was then bathed and clothed for the wedding occasion.

Selvi the bride was brought to the temple by village women and a Hindu priest conducted the ceremony.

The paper showed a picture of Selvakumar sitting next to his canine bride, which was adorned in an orange sari and flower garland.

The paper said the groom and his family then had a feast, while the dog got a bun.

It was reported that Selvi attempted to make a bolt for it -- apparently due to the big crowds -- but she was tracked down and returned to her new 'husband'.

"The dog is only for lifting the curse and after that, he plans to get a real bride," a friend of the groom said.

Deeply superstitious people in rural India sometimes organize weddings to dogs and other animals, believing it can beat certain curses.
