Great to catch up on this year's reportage - thanks to all who posted. I was wondering what the connection was between the RF and the SISTERS OF THE PERPETUAL INDULGENCE. Had a WONDERFUL time with a dozen or so of the Sisters who were at the Life Ball - they were all, I believe, from the Berlin chapter. Here's one of them, Sister Piccolettha, and yes, they each looked that wonderful..

the faeries and the sisters have much in common ideologically - stripping the twin straight jackets of consumerism and gender roles, promoting safer sexual behavior and greater HIV/STD awareness through humor and frank/open/shameless discussions/ attitudes, breaking out of the "clone culture"... i'm sure you can see the similarities. UNLIKE the faeries, the sisters are ACTIVE fundraisers for a variety of GLBTQ related causes.
there are many sisters who visit the mountain for gatherings - sister bambi dextrous, sister clara cum passionata, etc. - and one who's lived at SMS for almost 20 years - sister missionary position delight, one of the original sisters.
they've chronicled their history and documented their rules and rituals much more carefully than we have... (nuns vs. faeries, duh!) they're ALWAYS pressed, usually creating a scene, and it's generally in the name of a good cause. an amazing organization, if you ask me.
