This is the shocking moment a woman was photographed half naked performing a sex act on a dinosaur model in a seaside resort in Devon, Southwest England. The photograph which shows the adult lady straddling the model of a baby T-Rex in an egg was posted on social media with parents who usually take their children to the resort shocked that an adult could perform such an act with an object children use to play. See the photo after the cut... Organizer of the Exmouth Dino Trail, John Thorogood, said: “I saw the image on social media and was completely disgusted by it. “It was clearly a deliberately posed photograph of a very immature adult engaged in a sex act.” “Whilst we have had some deliberate damage to the dinosaurs in past weeks, this episode brings things to an all time low as far as these important and very popular assets to our town are concerned. “I hope the police are successful in tracing this woman and dealing robustly with it.” Vandals have already damaged the model ...

From the moment you wake up to the second you hit the pillows, there are a thousand and one details you need to attend to for a great skin. But with the right information, you could simplify that process. That’s why we are going to be addressing three major skin concerns and provide answers that could totally impact the outcome of your skin care routine. 1. I have extremely dry skin, what do I do ?

I use good skin products but why do I still have dark spots on my face? Your habits could be to blame. Often times, these dark spots are noticed on the side of the face where we use our phones the most. Tha...

Inobemhe later sneaked back into the country three months later, but was arrested in Donholm estate with a Kenyan woman...
