A pair of twins born just one minute apart share
everything in their life – a job, a car, a Facebook
account and even their boyfriend.
But even this bizarre level of closeness was not
enough for Australians Anna and Lucy DeCinque,
28, who have spent a fortune on cosmetic
surgery to erase any tiny differences between
them that may remain.
They have had identical procedures including lip
fillers, breast implants and fake eyebrows and
eyelashed – at a cost of an astonishing
$240,800 (Australian dollars), or $217,430 (US
dollars) or £130,000.

Smile! The sisters now share the same
boyfriend as although they have had separate
love interests before, they were always
brothers, or at the very least, best friends

Snap! Although the twins purchase every outfit
in duplicate, they say they would never wear
the same thing twice on a night out

Lucky guy: Ben Byrne, an electrician, is Anna
and Lucy’s current boyfriend
The women, from Perth, Western Australia, spend
every waking moment together – and every
sleeping moment too, as they share a bed.
Anna and Lucy, who live at home with their
mother, also share a boyfriend, which they
believe is a perfect situation for a relationship.
Though the two have had separate love interests
before, they have always been brothers, or at
least best friends.
Their current boyfriend is electircal mechanic Ben
Byrne, also from Perth, according to news site
PerthNow.
Anna said: ‘We’re dating one boy at the moment.
There are three people in our relationship. We’re
sharing.’
Lucy added: ‘It’s not really weird to us. We have
one boyfriend and all three of us share the same
bed. For guys, in their hearts and dreams, they
want two girlfriends.
‘We have the same taste in everything, so
obviously we’re going to like the same boy too.
We’re all together when we have sex, and if we
like the same guy, so be it. Every date had to be
a double date. It’s always double or nothing.’
From an early age Anna and Lucy were
inseparable. The sisters went to the same
nursery, primary and secondary schools, before
enrolling on a beauty course at college together.
The sisters revealed that they were so close even
their parents have struggled to tell them apart,
especially their father Luigi, who died in 2010.
Lucy said: ‘Our mum has always been able to
tell us apart. But, our dad, not so much. He
would say, “Which one are you?”‘
Only a small mole on Lucy’s cheek and a scar on
Anna’s forehead separate the two. But, those
slight differences go unseen by most – including
ex-boyfriends.
Lucy says: ‘We’ve had fun, especially when we
were younger. We would swap boyfriends, if we
were bored.
‘Like, even on the telephone, if I didn’t want to
talk to my boyfriend, Anna would take the phone
and pretend to be me. We would play games like
that, and the other person never realised.
‘We’ve settled down a bit now.’
The childhood accident – a bump in the
bathroom – that caused Anna’s scar is one of
the few things the sisters didn’t do together.
Since then, everything Anna and Lucy have done
has been in sync. From living together, to the job
they share – working with the elderly – the twins
are never more than a few metres away from
each other at all times.
‘We never get tired of each other, even though
we’re always together,’ said Lucy.
‘Of course, we argue. When you’re with someone
24/7 you’re going to have arguments and get on
each other’s nerves. We always make up,
though.’
Anna and Lucy’s unique bond has only grown as
they got older. Aged 12, the sisters opted for
different hair styles, with Anna going for a longer
cut, but the streak of individuality was short-
lived.
When their father Luigi was diagnosed with
cancer and remained housebound, the girls
became even closer. They quit their beauty
course and stayed at home to look after their
dad, until his death four years ago.
That same year, when the girls turned 24, they
both decided to have breast enlargements after,
they say, being inspired by Kim Kardashian’s.
The two from a BB cup size to DD.
They now undertake an extensive joint beauty
regime to maintain their appearances. Once a
week, Anna and Lucy take advantage of infrared
saunas, microdermabrasion and skin peels to
maintain the mirror image. They also follow the
same exercise routine and keep an identical diet.
Anna said: ‘We like looking after ourselves, what
girl doesn’t?’
The sisters, who don’t drink or smoke, take great
pride in their appearances, and wear a new outfit
every Saturday night.
Their wardrobe is full of body-hugging size 8
mini-dresses and hefty heels.
Lucy said: ‘We never wear the same outfit twice
when we go out. Everything has to be new.
When we go clothes shopping, Anna will already
know that I like a certain top.’
We always know what the other is thinking,’
Anna added. ‘We stopped buying gifts for each
other, because we ended up buying each other
same thing.
After caring for their father while he was ill, Lucy
and Anna applied for a job in aged care, serving
meals to the elderly.
Their joint application was successful and they
job share the position and take home one salary.
The money, which ends up in the same handbag
– carried by Lucy, goes towards the twins’
beauty regime.
And, when the twins step out of the sauna and
walk down the street, attention is never far away.
Anna says, ‘When we go out, we get so many
guys saying they want to marry the both of us
or date the both of us.
‘And we always have girls coming up and saying
“where do you get your clothes from?” They love
our style.
‘And we feel each others’ pain too. If Lucy’s at
the dentist, I will feel her pain.’
While the girls have been warned that their
extreme closeness could lead to serious
problems in the future, especially if one of them
decides to get married and move away or if one
of them dies, the twins remain unfazed.
Lucy says, ‘We can’t imagine a day when we’re
not in each others’ company. And, to be honest,
I don’t think that would ever happen.’
