"In the old days, the local copper would tap on the window if a girl was showing too much ankle, now the girls deal coke from their cubicles." Louise and Martine Fokkens are identical twins. For over 40 years they were working as prostitutes. They freed themselves from the control of their pimps, ran their own brothel, and set up the first informal trade union for prostitutes. They are familiar faces in Amsterdam's Red Light District, but soon they will bid their farewells.

Meet the Fokkens is a portrait of these remarkable women, as well as a history of the Red Light District over the past fifty years.

  • Some like it, I abhor it. Apparently, it also goes very well with (vanilla) ice cream.

  • @twentyonehundred

    They are Dutch and nothing is 'wrong' with them, they are just working for a living and doing the oldest profession in the world :) Personally I like young women, but hey, sex is not only about young women, it's a little bit of everything. You would be surprised how many customers they are getting.

  • @EC10Classified here is more info:en.wikipedia (dot) org/wiki/Advocaat

  • @EC10Classified That's an 'advocaat'. It's an alcoholic drink from the Netherlands which you can serve with whipped cream.

  • 0_0 whipped cream in orange juice - WTF!?!?!?

  • @twentyonehundred Um... They aren't german...
