Prostitution is Legal in Amsterdam (for those of you who did not know)which explains why you have those show glasses with prostitutes displayed like regular wares for sale. Well, the Fokken Twins have been turning tricks for about half a century!

Turning tricks: Amsterdam prostitutes Louise and Martine Fokkens are the subjects of a new documentary that sees then discuss their 50-year careers in the city's Red Light District
The Fokken Twins

Amsterdam's oldest 'window girls', Louise and Martine Fokkens - the identical twins who have worked the Dutch capital's infamous Red Light District for almost half a century.
And at 70, the pair are celebrating being the city's most experienced prostitutes with a tell-all film that lays bare two lifetimes in the vice trade. 
Louise, however, was finally forced to hang up her fishnets two years ago after arthritis ravaged her joints making it increasingly difficult to 'do the sexual positions'. Martine is still going strong.
She relies on a flow of loyal regulars to keep her income steady.
'My regulars want to know they will get a good service,' she told The Guardian.
Meet The Fokkens is a documentary by Gabrielle Provaas and Rob Shröder that charts the extraordinary lives of the sisters.
    They began their careers in prostitution in their early 20s and have worked the city's canal walks ever since.
