I earn £50 as a naked cleaner - my partner is okay with it but some of my clients have creepy requests A woman who works as a naked cleaner has revealed the weirdest parts of the job - including clients who are also naked. Lottie Rae, 32, took up the unusual role to make some extra money in 2017, and charges £50 an hour - estimating she's made a few thousand pounds over the years.

The cleaner, who describes herself as 'free-spirited' says the role has made her feel more body confident and even says it's empowering. Lottie said: 'There's a fair few people who are creepy - a handful of the guys I clean for book cleaners on the premise they will get something else.

The Luvas sisters, Trudy and Struppi, formerly of Heidelberg, Germany, practice a high-flying act suspended from a helicopter piloted by Frank Horn in Denver on September 15, 1955. Trudy holds on to the helicopter under rigging by her knees while the swing dangles from a hook in a belt around her neck. Struppi swings from the bar, holding on only by the back of her head and neck. They claim it is the first time two persons have performed such feats from a helicopter.

Opinion: 50 years ago, LAPD raided the Black Panthers. SWAT teams have been targeting Black communities ever since

-
Image
In the early morning hours of Dec. 8, 1969, Bernard Arafat awoke to explosions rocking the library of the Black Panthers’ 41st and Central Avenue headquarters in Los Angeles. Above him, footsteps stomped across the roof. Then gunfire erupted. Arafat wasn’t a seasoned Panther. He was a 17-year-old runaway from juvenile hall whose parents had both died when he was 13. After years of committing small-time crimes, Arafat was taken in by the Panthers and gained a sense of purpose. He helped with the organization’s breakfast program, feeding hungry kids on their way to school. Arafat had never fired a gun. But as he listened to the sound of bullets and heard the screams of his fellow Panthers, he made a decision. “I found an automatic shotgun and defended myself.” Across the country at the time, police antipathy toward the Panthers was rising, in part  fueled by dirty tricks from the FBI’s conintelpro unit . As McKinley, who participated in the raid, said: “We had to take them out.” The ...

A youth is clubbing the burning body of a man identified as a Zulu Inkatha supporter. The burning man was set alight by rival supporters of the African National Congress in Soweto, South Africa, on September 15, 1990. Photographer Greg Marinovich was a member of the so-called Bang Bang Club, four white photographers who worked for agencies and newspapers in Johannesburg. Together, they covered the wave of violent political clashes that plagued the nation’s black townships at the time. At one of those encounters, Marinovich saw four or five men beating a lone victim with rocks and clubs. One attacker dosed the man with gasoline and Marinovich made the picture.

Commonwealth soldiers in a British military base pose with the severed head of an MNLA guerrilla killed during Malayan Emergency, 1951. This photograph was first published on the 28 April 1952 by the British communist newspaper the Daily Worker (Morning Star), causing a political scandal throughout the British government, exposing the widespread practice of Iban headhunters fighting for the British decapitating the corpses of anti-colonial guerrillas. On 28 April 1952 a photograph of a British soldier exhibiting the head of an alleged communist insurgent was published on the front page of the  Daily Worker   newspaper under the heading ‘THIS IS THE WAR IN MALAYA’. At the time of publication, four years had passed since Britain’s decision to declare an official state of ‘Emergency’ in Malaya – then a group of colonial protectorate states in South-East Asia, which later became the states of Malaysia and Singapore. British efforts to suppress an independence struggle led by the c...

The body of an unidentified man lies on a road barrier near a village recently retaken by Ukrainian forces on the outskirts of Kharkiv, Ukraine, Saturday, April 30, 2022 Death in Ukraine's Kharkiv is Everywhere, Rarely Explained   The outskirts of Kharkiv have the feel of an open-air morgue, where the dead lie unclaimed and unexplained, sometimes for weeks on end, as Ukrainian and Russian forces fight for control of slivers of land. There is the charred body of a man, unidentifiable, propped on an anti-tank barrier made of crossed I-beams outside a town that has been under the control of both sides in recent days. There are the dead soldiers, apparently Russian, four of them arranged in a Z like the military symbol found on Russian armored vehicles, visible to the Russian drones that continuously buzz overhead. The door to an apartment opens to three bodies inside. Precisely how any of this happened will likely never be known. Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, has been un...

At 6’5, 450 lbs, Big Van Vader got his first national exposure in the American Wrestling Association (AWA). He went by the moniker Baby Bull, which was later changed to Bull Power. White honed his skills during this time, and his ring work improved significantly to the point that he was booked in a match with Stan Hansen for the AWA World Heavyweight Championship, where he was defeated. Although originally signed to All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW), AJPW owner Giant Baba traded White’s contract over to New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) in 1987 after consideration. Upon joining NJPW, White was given the ring name Big Van Vader and began to wear a black wrestling mask. His new identity was based on a strong warrior of the same name from Japanese folklore. He was introduced as the crown jewel of the Takeshi Puroresu Gundan stable which was managed by Takeshi Kitano. Vader challenged Antonio Inoki, who had already defeated Riki Choshu, and defeated the worn-down Inoki. The pro-Inoki audience ri...

Just a reminder of how Christianity became so popular today

Just a reminder of how Christianity became so popular today Just a reminder of how Christianity became so popular today. During the reign of Charlemagne women were impaled on sharpened poles put in the vagina. Slowly over days the pole would travel the length of the body through the organs causing tremendous pain, simply because a woman was found collecting herbs in the forest. She was labeled a witch. Their screams could be heard for days as an example to those who would not accept the foreign faith. Christianity became so popular because of sheer terror of what would happen if it wasn't accepted. And people think the Nazis were horrible.... Read more  This is still happening today in the form of collective social pressure.

A female Soviet soldier has been captured by the Wehrmacht. 1941

A female Soviet soldier has been captured by the Wehrmacht. 1941 The Wehrmacht actually had direct orders to kill any female soldiers they came after as they saw such a thing as unimaginable and degenerate. Do we know what happened to her? She was shot.  Given she obviously has not been shot yet, she would likely have been sent to Ravensbruck concentration camp, where she likely died of starvation. The Germans didn't dare to kill her because she said "How dare you!" Female Soviet soldiers are one of the greatest examples of the myth of the "clean Wehrmacht" being tarnished. Several Wehrmacht generals were so insulted by fighting women that they ordered them to be executed immediately, including Güyher von Kluge and Walther von Reichenau. Because the Germans didn't have separate POW camps for women, if they weren't executed they were mostly handed over to the SS and sent to Ravensbruck concentration camp. She was very likely raped and murdered as th...
