EXCLUSIVE: Seven Foot Tall Transsexual Lindsey Walker Sets her Sights on a World Record and the Olympics.

A Seven-Foot Tall Transsexual Sets Her Sights on a World Record and the Olympics

At Central Michigan University seven-foot tall Drew Walker was a star athlete. His talent for basketball made him a celebrity on campus. But at 21 years old, heading for a career as a professional player, he quit the sport entirely. Within months he began the transition from a college jock to a soft-spoken young woman – from Drew to Lindsey. Now, five years later, Lindsey has set her sights on a Guinness world record for the world’s tallest transsexual, and is making plans to play women’s basketball in Rio de Janeiro for the 2016 Olympics.

In college Lindsey admits to taking advantage of her status. ‘I did a lot of partying – a lot of frat parties,” Lindsey explained. “I was so popular I could turn up at a party where I knew no one and everyone would be getting me drinks. I had groupies, all athletes do, and I was a male whore.’ Looking back though, she can see she was just trying hard to fit in and hide her feelings, ‘Basketball was one hell of a cover-up for me. Not one person had a clue.’

Today Lindsey has long brown hair, B-cup breasts and lives every day as the woman she says she has always known herself to be on the inside. As a child she would dress in her mother’s clothes, but when her parents punished her she decided to hide the feelings that she was a girl born in a boy’s body.

Lindsey started seeing a gender therapist and a doctor who prescribed the hormone treatments that have changed her looks and her personality. ‘In the first few weeks I noticed that I was no longer aggressive, I didn’t have road rage for example,” she said. “I felt much calmer. Within six weeks I saw my body changing. I developed breasts in the way a girl would during puberty. My body hair decreased. My skin got really soft. I lost the sex drive I had as a man.’

There are some things the hormone injections can’t change, however. If Lindsey had started the transition before puberty – as more and more transgender girls are doing now – she would not have grown to be seven-feet tall.

EXCLUSIVE: The World’s Shortest Cat Meets Tallest Record Holder Magic

Del Mar, California: The reigning world’s shortest cat – Fizz Girl – met the former world’s tallest cat – Scarlett’s Magic – for an exclusive Incredible Features photo shoot, and it was a hair-raising experience! These famous felines vied for the spotlight, displaying diva-like behavior as egos clashed and fur flew. At just 6 inches-tall, Fizz Girl makes up for what she lacks in stature with feistiness as she held her own against all 17.1 inches of Scarlett’s Magic.

The preening pair stalked around the Savannah Cat Shoppe in Del Mar, California. This unique store is run by Scarlett’s owners, Kim and Lee Draper, and allows the public the chance to interact with this very special cat breed. Savannah cats are a mix of African Serval and pedigree domestic cats.

Fizz Girl, owned by Tiffini Kjeldergaard, is a rare Munchkin-type breed. Tiffini currently has Fizz Girl up for sale for $1.6 million! She aims to spends the profits on building a cat sanctuary for those animals that would otherwise be euthanized in California shelters. With offers rolling in, she may soon be close to a sale and ready to start her ambitious project.

Such an amazing sale would make Fizz Girl the most expensive cat ever, potentially giving her another Guinness world record title. Then she’d really have something to meow about!

Tasty Dutch Cuisine: The Insect Cookbook

Would you like to try a Maggot Muffin? You can learn how to bake your own soon, if you buy the Dutch Insect Cookbook that’s about to hit the stores. According to a group of Dutch insect munchers, the creepy crawling snacks are considered to be very rich in proteins and make an excellent source of nourishment.
Marcel Dicke, a professor at Wageningen University, says the world population is expected to hit 9 billion by 2050, and there may not be enough land to raise livestock that meets everybody’s needs. He thinks turning to bugs is a good protein alternative. The university also said the nutritional value of insects is actually similar to that of meat, and it is more environmentally friendly to raise insects instead of cattle and pigs. “I see this as the next step towards the introduction of insects on restaurant menus in the Netherlands. I also expect people to buy the book and start cooking with insects at home,” says Dicke.

The Corpse Bride of Mexico

“La Pasqualita” has been a mannequin in a bridal store in Chihuahua, Mexico for the past 82 years. That’s quite a long time for a store to keep a mannequin, but in La Pasqualita’s case there is a very special legend involved: people say she is not a mannequin at all, but the perfectly preserved corpse of the previous owner’s daughter.
Now visitors from all over the world come to the little bridal shop to see the corpse bride, trying to figure out if she is real or not. Most people who see her do believe she is.
La Pasqualita was first installed in 1930. Her beauty amazed people. Until they realized that she looked a lot like the owner’s daughter Pascuala Esparza who had died on her wedding day after being bitten by a Black Widow spider.
Sonia Burciaga, who works in the shop, says, “Every time I go near Pascualita my hands break out in a sweat. Her hands are very realistic and she even has varicose veins on her legs. I believe she’s a real person.”
Although most Chihuahua locals believe that La Pasqualita is indeed a real corpse, there are plenty of explanations as to why that can’t possibly be true. The Museum of Hoaxes, for example, states that “ it would be impossible to embalm someone and have their flesh be preserved that perfectly. For some reason, people tend to think that it’s easier to preserve a body than it actually is”.

Nelson: The Ugliest Little Bird In The World

Poor little Nelson: He was the only one of his parents’ eggs to hatch and they rejected him. Now, the little bird that looks like a “cross between an alien and a roasted chicken” is making international headlines for being the ugliest bird in the world.
Fortunately, Nelson lives at the Bergzoo in Halle, Germany, where he is being cared for by the staff.
The little Kea parrot, native to New Zealand, won’t stay ugly forever; when he grows up he will grow into a beautiful bird with handsome olive green and orange feathers.

Colorado Man Tries Out For The Denver Broncos Cheerleaders

Sacha Heppell wanted to become a Broncos cheerleader. So he went to the tryouts and faced off against 200 women. Why not, one of the judges said it was an open call and everybody could come!
He would have been the first male Broncos cheerleader ever, if he had made it past the first round of the tryouts. Unfortunately he didn’t. But that doesn’t mean Sacha didn’t enjoy himself. He called the whole experience “amazing”, although he admits that he messed up a few times. Oh well Sacha, maybe next time!

A French Family Builds A Fairytale Home

Jo and Dominique Pillet’s home in Causse de Sauveterre, Lozere, France looks almost surreal. That is probably why they have named it “Utopix”.
The couple got married in the 1970’s and purchased 27 acres of land to build their dream home on. The Pillets are both artists and they wanted their home to be aesthetically pleasing as well as functional. Building Utopix has been a long journey with many hurdles, but the Pillets finally fulfilled their dream in 2010.
They used a lot of the abundant limestone in their region, structuring the house in the form of an igloo. The domed structures were then reinforced with concrete and wood, and later covered with stones to give them a cave-like feel.
Apart from the house, the Pillets have also created other pieces of art made of limestone, such as a car, a dinosaur and a mini golf link.

High School Basketball Player With Down Syndrome Has To Quit Because Of His Age

Eric Dompierre from Michigan plays high school basketball. He gets along very well with his teammates and loves the sport. He also has Down Syndrome. He may, however, be prohibited from playing his senior season because the Michigan High School Athletic Association bars anyone who is 19 as of Sept. 1 from participating in sports for that school year. Eric turned 19 in January.

Eric was held back in kindergarten and first grade, due to his disability. That is why he is a year older than his classmates. But not being able to play basketball anymore would be devastating for Eric. Being an athlete made it easier for the teenager to find friends and have a social life. “That’s one of the bigger things that I’m afraid he’s going to lose if he can’t be part of a team next year, says his father Dean Dompierre.

Whether Eric will be able to stay on the team will be determined by the state association’s 19-member representative council. A majority of the council would have to vote to pass the request on to all of the member schools, who would then vote on the measure. Two-thirds of the schools would need to vote in favor of the amendment for it to pass.
