A Couple Gave Birth to the Most Beautiful Twins Ever
Jaqi and Kevin Clements eagerly awaited the birth of their twins. When Jaqi went into labor early, however, the happy couple feared the worst. In the end, the new parents welcomed two happy and healthy girls in the world. Ava Marie and Leah Rose were born in 2010. From the beginning, it was clear these girls were different. With their mother’s help and guidance, these premature babies would grow into successful international models.
The Clemens were a happily married couple. They had already been blessed with a son. However, they felt the urge to expand their family. Both parents wanted a daughter to complete their family. When their son was 2 years old, Jaqi discovered that she was pregnant with twins. To make it even better, the couple was told they would be having not one but two identical baby girls!
With a due date in August, Jaqi was surprised when she went into labor in early July. The twins were born 4 weeks early on July 7, 2010. Looking back, their mother believes that their early entrance was the first glimpse of their impulsive and fearless personalities. From birth, strangers and family members alike commented on the unique appearance of the girls.
As the girls grew, their glossy hair, flawless skin, and distinctive bone structure drew positive observations from everyone they met. Along with the compliments, people often urged Jaqi to consider a modeling career for her gorgeous offspring.
Soon, the Clemens were approached by talent agents for modeling agencies. They offered lucrative contracts and promises of fame and fortune for the pretty little girls. Jaqi was wary. She wanted her girls to have everything they deserved, but she was concerned about the effect a high-attention modeling career would have on them. She also feared potential predators who wanted to use her girls and their images for their own purposes.
Despite her misgivings, at the age of 6 months, the girls were signed to an agency based in Los Angeles. The mother of three quickly discovered that handling their career and her household duties was a tall order. With her 2-year-old in tow, making it to shoots and auditions made it tough to keep up with her domestic responsibilities. After three months, Jaqi changed her mind and ended their blossoming career.
Before their quick career development, Jaqi and Kevin felt it would better to let the girls have a normal childhood. Growing up with peers at school would give them options and opportunities that childhood stardom could not provide. The twins were happy going to school, playing with their brother, and learning regular life skills.
As time went on, however, Jaqi and Kevin began to question their decision. Could they be holding their family back from realizing its full potential by being too cautious? Friends and strangers continued to urge the couple to consider a modeling career for their one-of-a-kind identical twins. Over time, the couple began to reconsider.
Jaqi realized that her daughters should have a say in the decision-making process. Since their images and effort would be the key ingredients in making a modeling career work, their opinion should be considered. How old would the girls need to be in able to be trusted with such a weighty decision? Jaqi and Kevin deliberated this question endlessly.
Jaqi decided to let her intuition be her guide. Throughout her life, the number 7 always seemed to grant her luck. As fate would have it, the twins were to turn 7 years old on July 7, 2017. Jaqi saw it as a sign.
The twins were already active in school and extracurricular activities like swimming and dance. Near their 7th birthday, the couple asked their daughters if they would like to add modeling to their weekly schedules. Even at that young age, the girls were already eager for the spotlight. A modeling career seemed to fit their outgoing and ambitious personalities.
No one was surprised the girls jumped at the chance to be professional models. The girls loved to perform and saw the move as an opportunity to expand their audience. In an effort to keep them away from the potential dangers of the modeling world, Jaqi decided to start the girls off slowly.
The twins’ first job came from a neighbor who owned a children’s boutique. They needed models to showcase their fashion line. The job was not only safe, but it gave the twins a much needed chance to get professional photos and credits they could use to build their career.
Their first professional photo shoot was a perfect success. Jaqi distributed photos to several talent agencies, hoping to find someone to represent the twins in their comeback attempt. The parents also started an Instagram account to serve as an online resume for potential agencies. The twins quickly gathered a large following on the social media platform.
Their Instagram account drew hundreds of thousands of followers from all over the world. Instead of hunting for an agency to represent them, the twins found themselves inundated with offers from agencies and scouts. In a strategic move, Jaqi decided to contract with two differente agencies for the twins’ growing modeling career.
The twins were signed to Zuri Model and Talent, based in Los Angeles. They also chose to work with Dreamray Model and Talent in Orange County, California. Working with two agencies allowed the twins to book more paying gigs and gain exposure more quickly.
Working with two agencies wasn’t always easy. At one point, the twins received a callback to the same audition from both agencies. It was awkward, but Jaqi was able to clear up the confusion quickly.
Modeling soon became a family pursuit for the Clemens. The girls’ big brother Chase started joining them on photo shoots. Eventually, he was signed to the same agencies that represented his sisters.
WIth their newfound success in the modeling world, the Clemens twins have proved that 7 is a lucky number for their entire family. The girls continue to find new outlets for their talent and passion. Despite their instant fame status, however, Jaqi and Kevin continue to shield their children from the less savory parts of show business.
Jaqi started a blog detailing her experiences managing her childrens’ modeling and acting careers. In her posts, she discusses the pressures, techniques, and dangers her daughters face on every job. From overly mature postures to too much makeup, Jaqi talks about how she shields her daughters from the unrealistic expectations in the fashion world.
The twins and their big brother aren’t sure were the future will lead them. However, with their mother supporting and protecting them, they are all sure to grow into happy, healthy, and well-adjusted adults.
Even though these beautiful little girls are identical twins, they both have their own unique style and you can see it in photos like this where they are wearing the same outfit, but still have some of their own flare and style in the way they are posing.
Here we see a photo of another pair of famous modeling twins, the McClure twins, posing alongside the Clements twins. These four beautiful girls are a testament to how amazing the human body and genetics are and how stunningly beautiful kids can be even before they reach adulthood.
Here we see the twins with their older brother, who also shares their light brown/blond hair, fantastic bone structure, and striking blue eyes. This family certainly won the genetic lottery and produced some beautiful kids. Their brother is also signed to a modeling agency now and is building his own career and his own portfolio.
Even though Jaqi and Kevin decided that it would be better for their twins if they let them have a normal life, let them have a childhood like everyone else, their career was always at the back of their mind. The twins were happy with their lives, going to school, learning and playing with their brother, and just being kids, and now they are an international sensation.
When Jaqi realized that her daughters were old enough to have a say in their future, she and her husband worked to brainstorm how to involve their daughters in the decision without letting them make any rash choices. The choice was a fantastic one because now the girls are some of the most sought after child models in the industry.
The twins work with both Zuri Model and Talent and Dreamray Model and Talent, both based in Los Angeles so that the girls would have the most opportunity possible and so that they could get the most exposure and the most paying gigs.
Their mother, Jaqi, also runs a blog post talking about their experiences with modeling and what it is like juggling three careers. She also talks about what it takes to protect them and how she and her husband are working to raise three children that are well adjusted and well rounded adults, despite their extensive modeling careers.
Some of their photos feature styles that are more common on grown models but with a sweet and childish twist. Their mother makes sure that all the modeling gigs her children take are safe, and that they are also age appropriate for both her son and her two gorgeous daughters.
Many of their photoshoots are shot with soft light, pastel colors, and whimsical backdrops that help to add to their ethereal look and their soft and feminine style.
Even a casual shoot by a wooden fence looks high end and ritzy with these two beautiful ladies. Their intense blue eyes make their stares that much more stunning and that much more beautiful.
Every now and again the twins are photographed on their own and these single shots are just as stunning as the shots with the pair together.
Here you can see that even though one of the girls wears a faux fur shawl, she still looks innocent and young, something that a soon to be nine year old girl should look in her photos.
The girl’s mother says they love action shots and any photo shoot that allows them to get up and move. Which matches their active energy perfectly.
When the pair is together you can see the love in their eyes for one another, it is truly special that they get to go through this journey together.
Sometimes on shoots they get to wear outfits that are completely different and that showcase their own unique sense of style and love of fashion and all things interesting.
Even when they are doing shoots that are avanteguard and a bit more grown up, they still let their funny personalities shine through and they still look like children.
They even like to put their interests like dance and being active into their photo shoots. Here we see them decked out in dance gear for a cute and trendy photo that is stunning.
Here we see the girls decked out like true princesses in ball gowns on a silk and silver throne. This is a playtime that any little girl would love and that these two children get to live every day.
While many photographers are tempted to dress the twins in the same outfit, the photos where they are dressed differently make for a very interesting look and make for a beautiful photo that gives the girls their own unique looks.
Even photos in what seems to be the backyard complete with a wayward duck are stunning and truly display how versatile these twins are and how grown up and young they can look at the same time.
Here we see the twins staring into one another’s eyes, they are sure to have formed an extra close bond on this journey together.
Here we see the girls sporting the same outfit and hat, just in different colors.
The girls are stunning and look grown up in some photos and childish in other showing the versatility of their looks and the way that they can change them with a simple pose.
Here we see them in active wear with an older model. The girls still look young and innocent and like children, something that was important to their mother.
The girls have nearly 600,000 followers on Instagram and the number is set to keep growing. Their mother works tirelessly to keep their account up to date and to make sure it is seen by their fans.
These stunning little girls are sure to keep climbing the charts and gaining in popularity as they continue to take modeling jobs.
The pair are often photographed with other models that are a bit older than them which helps to remind those that see the photos that these are just kids not adult models like you would expect in other situations.
Only time will tell what the world and the modeling industry has in store for these beautiful little girls. We can only hope that their mother and father will continue to keep the girls’s best interests in mind and that they will continue to work to try and protect their daughters from the harsh world that we are living in.

Highway Adventure: Escaped Sulcata Tortoise’s Journey Halted by Arizona Rescuers
An unexpected traveler caused a stir on an Arizona interstate near Picacho when a large sulcata tortoise was discovered attempting to cross the highway. The tortoise, it was later revealed, had embarked on a remarkable journey after escaping from an ostrich ranch located approximately three miles away.
Sulcata tortoises, also known as African spurred tortoises, are native to the southern edge of the Sahara desert. These impressive reptiles are the third-largest species of tortoise in the world and the largest mainland tortoise. Known for their hardy nature and long lifespans, sulcata tortoises can live for over 70 years and reach weights of up to 200 pounds when fully grown.
The rescued tortoise’s adventure highlights the species’ surprising mobility and endurance. Despite their slow-moving reputation, sulcata tortoises are capable of covering significant distances, especially when seeking food or a mate. Their strong legs and sharp claws, evolved for digging in their native arid habitats, allow them to traverse challenging terrain – though perhaps not as safely as they might on the African plains.
Local authorities and wildlife experts were quick to respond to the unusual sight of this desert dweller on the interstate. The rescue operation not only ensured the tortoise’s safety but also prevented potential traffic hazards on the busy highway.
This incident serves as a reminder of the responsibilities that come with keeping exotic pets. Sulcata tortoises, while popular in the pet trade due to their docile nature and impressive size, require specialized care and secure enclosures to prevent escapes like this one.
The tortoise’s safe retrieval and its journey from an ostrich ranch to a major highway underscore the importance of proper animal husbandry and the unexpected challenges that can arise when managing diverse species in captivity. As the sulcata tortoise returns to more familiar surroundings, its brief highway adventure stands as a testament to the species’ resilience and the community’s quick action in wildlife preservation.

Dinner Cruise Turns Heroic: Lost Dog Rescued Miles from Florida Shore
An evening boat ride became an unexpected rescue mission when passengers and crew aboard the Sanibel Harbor Princess spotted a dog swimming alone in Florida’s waters. The canine, later identified as Ellie, was found over a mile from Fort Myers Beach on July 28, prompting a swift rescue operation.
Captain Terry Johns, a veteran of the Coast Guard, recounts the moment of discovery. Midway through the cruise, commotion erupted among guests as they noticed a small head bobbing in the water. Quick action was necessary, as Ellie was dangerously close to the boat’s rear.
With skilled maneuvering, the yacht’s crew positioned the vessel to safely retrieve Ellie. Once aboard, the exhausted but friendly dog was provided with food and water. The crew’s training proved invaluable in executing the rescue efficiently.
Post-rescue, Ellie was taken to a veterinarian for examination. Despite having a microchip, identification proved challenging due to malfunction. A crew member volunteered to care for Ellie temporarily while efforts to locate her owners continued.
The rescue story, broadcast by local news outlet WINK News, caught the attention of Ben and Kathleen Baker, Ellie’s distraught owners. The couple had lost sight of their pet during an afternoon boat outing and had spent hours searching to no avail.
Overcome with emotion, 72-year-old Ben Baker expressed his relief at seeing Ellie safe on the news. A few phone calls later, and the Bakers were reunited with their beloved pet, turning a potential tragedy into a heartwarming tale of community effort and canine resilience.
This incident highlights the importance of pet safety on boats and the impact of quick thinking and compassion in emergency situations.

Eight Puppies Rescued from Texas Heat Will Soon Be Ready for Adoption
Eight puppies left in the scorching Texas heat have been rescued and are now safe, thanks to some quick-thinking deputies and animal control officers.
The puppies were abandoned in a carrier on a field in Tarrant County, Texas, where temperatures reached over 100 degrees. The Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office shared this on their Facebook page.
A kind person found the puppies without any water and alerted the authorities. Unfortunately, since there were no cameras in the area, it’s unlikely they will find out who left the puppies behind.
Deputies Collin Stephenson and Haley Drew from the Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office, along with the Fort Worth Animal Care and Control team, rescued the puppies.
Fort Worth Animal Care and Control shared an update on Facebook, including photos of the puppies, saying, “The puppies that were rescued from a carrier in 100-degree weather by Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office are doing much better.”
The puppies, about six weeks old, are now at the Chuck & Brenda Silcox Animal Care and Adoption Center. They are believed to be shepherd mixes and have been given names after popular chip brands: Cheetos, Fritos, Ruffles, Lays Potato, Cheese Itz, Doritos, and Pringles.
Deputy Stephenson told Fort Worth Animal Care and Control that he plans to adopt one of the puppies.
The animal shelter is looking for people to foster or adopt the puppies, who should be ready for adoption next week.
Tips to Keep Your Pets Safe in the Heat
- Provide Plenty of Water: Always make sure your pets have access to fresh, cool water.
- Avoid Midday Heat: Walk your pets early in the morning or late in the evening when it’s cooler.
- Never Leave Pets in Cars: Cars can quickly become dangerously hot, even with windows cracked.

- Watch for Signs of Overheating: Signs include excessive panting, drooling, and weakness. If you notice these, get your pet to a cool place and offer water.

By following these tips, you can help keep your pets safe and healthy during the hot summer months.

Diver Makes Stunning Ancient Find Off Florida Coast: ‘Very Rare’
A diver in Florida recently made an incredible discovery while exploring the waters off the state’s coast.
Kyle Lundberg, who studied marine biology at the University of South Florida, was diving off Manasota Key, about 90 miles south of Tampa, when he stumbled upon an ancient mastodon tusk. He found this remarkable relic back in April while searching for fossils.
The tusk, which hasn’t been dated yet, could be millions of years old. Although he’s only 29 years old, Lundberg has been scuba diving for 12 years and has been hunting for fossils since he was “old enough to walk.”
“My dad would take us out to construction sites all the time to look for fossils as a kid,” Lundberg shared. He mentioned that while finding small pieces and chunks of tusk is common, discovering one as large and well-preserved as this is very rare. Tusks found in Florida are usually very delicate and often crumble apart.
According to the National Park Service (NPS), American mastodons went extinct around 10,500 years ago. Their fossils have been discovered across North America and Central America, from Alaska to Mexico. Despite what some people might think, mastodons are not the same as mammoths, though they are related and share a common ancestor with mammoths and elephants. Mastodons could grow as tall as 10 feet.
The NPS explains that while mastodons have been around since 4 to 3 million years ago, mammoths didn’t arrive in North America until much later, during the Pleistocene ice ages, which spanned from 2.6 million years ago to 11,700 years ago. Mastodons did live alongside mammoths in many areas, but all of these large creatures went extinct by about 10,500 years ago.
Lundberg has some advice for aspiring fossil hunters: remember to get a fossil permit. In Florida, these permits only cost five dollars each. “My best tip is to get out and explore and keep your head down,” he said. “This stuff is out there and all over the state.”
As for what will happen to the ancient mastodon tusk, Lundberg plans to keep it unless experts decide it is important enough to donate. “I plan on keeping it, but I do have to report it at the end of the year to the Florida Museum of Natural History,” he said. “If they deem it scientifically important, I have to donate it, but that is very unlikely.”

Daring Rescue: Duluth Firefighters Save Dog from Frigid Lake Superior
In a heart-pounding rescue mission on the shores of Duluth, Minnesota, a brave dog found himself in a perilous situation after leaping into the icy waters of Lake Superior. The daring rescue unfolded amidst eight-foot waves that crashed against the shore, creating a challenging environment for both man and canine.
The intense situation began when the adventurous dog managed to slip out of his leash, enticed by the allure of a chilly swim. Unbeknownst to the canine, Lake Superior’s vast expanse presented a danger he hadn’t anticipated. The situation quickly escalated, prompting the owner to dial emergency services.
To pinpoint the distressed dog’s location, dispatchers utilized cameras on a life bridge, offering a bird’s-eye view of the unfolding drama. The dog, buffeted by the relentless waves, struggled to stay afloat as firefighters donned specialized ice suits to brave the frigid waters.
These ice suits, designed for extreme cold-water rescues, provide a crucial barrier between the icy environment and the rescuers. Comprising layers of insulated materials, these suits not only keep firefighters warm but also offer buoyancy and protection against the harsh elements.
As the brave firefighters plunged into the turbulent waters, the dog faced the dual challenges of the waves and the numbing cold. Despite the difficult conditions, the rescue team, guided by the worried owner who remained on the shore, managed to locate the struggling canine.
The dog, large and frightened, repeatedly disappeared beneath the waves, making the rescue a daunting task. Through effective communication between the owner and the firefighters, the team successfully secured the dog by the collar, preventing him from slipping away.
Once the dog was safely in their grasp, both the firefighters and the canine were brought to safety aboard a waiting boat. The dog, now shivering and scared, received prompt medical attention. After warming up, the resilient pup even leaped happily into his owner’s car, a heartwarming conclusion to a potentially tragic event.
The Duluth Fire Department, often questioned about responding to animal-related emergencies, emphasized the significance of such actions in a Facebook post. They highlighted the deep bond between pets and their families, explaining that in their experience, if emergency responders did not intervene, well-meaning bystanders might take unnecessary risks.
The post also revealed a chilling detail: one of the dog’s owners had considered jumping into the treacherous waters. The fire department strongly discouraged such actions, emphasizing the importance of leaving water rescues to trained professionals equipped with the necessary gear.
“The Duluth Fire Department wants to stress to the public the importance of not putting yourself into a situation you are neither trained nor equipped to handle,” the post warned. “Given the wave and temperature conditions in the canal last night, anyone entering the water without the proper training and equipment would most likely have ended in tragedy.”
