[edit] Career
As a young boy, Jenny's original name was John, in honour of her deceased father who drowned in sea while trying to save a woman. At an early age, Jenny decided that she wanted to be female. She somehow was able to obtain and began taking female hormones at the age of 13, which naturally prevented her from experiencing puberty as a male. John chose the name Jenny to honour her sister, Eugenia who hosted and aided their family when they moved to Athens.
Jenny went on to complete SRS at the age of 20 and became one of the top models in Greece shortly thereafter. Her high profile brought about scandal and gossip.
During that time she also published her book Οι Άγγελοι Δεν Έχουν Φύλο (The Angels Have No Gender), which was also released as a comic book called JennyX.
She was Greek Woman of the Year in 2000.
[edit] Later life
In 2005, she claimed to have given up prostitution and had residences in Athens, Rhodes and Crete where she ran a traditional tavern.
A year later, Jenny spoke with reporter Tatiana Stefanidou and complained that Sitians were accusing her of still working as a prostitute and as organising sexual orgies. They boycotted her restaurant, trying to drive her out of business. Jenny did not admit to doing such things and claimed that the rumours were started out of prejudice; patrons of her cafe complained about even such minor things as the ambient music. Jenny also claimed that many rumours were started by a lesbian student who was attracted to Jenny and who decided to exact her revenge upon discovering that the feeling was not mutual.
Recent news stories allege that she has returning to prostitution and has opened a brothel in Patras.
[edit] Personal life
Her 1997 affair with District Attorney George Sakelaropoulos, who met her while trying to close her brothel in Rhodes, was quite notable. The scandal, which was also the only known emotional affair and relationship that Hiloudaki has had, shocked Greek society until the couple broke up and Sakelaropoulos returned to his family.
She lives with her 2 cats — a Siamese named Leo, a Turkish Angora named Snow White — and a bird named Kitsos. In her spare time, she enjoys collecting antiques and Swatch watches, of which she has 2000.[citation needed]
