Oops, He Did It Again
Hit me Scampers one more time
What a scamp. TH2 hits another homer outta the park. Here's just a taste-
MR. SCAMPERS' GALLERY OF GOOFY NUNS - PART DEUX: FABULOUS FASHIONISTAS
- OR -
THE AU COUTURE LIFESTYLES OF AN ASSORTMENT OF POLYESTER PRINCESSES
Joan Chittister, OSB (Genus: masculus suspectus). Now girls, nothing says heretical nun like a smoking jacket. Joanie here, lusciously draped in a grey design by Fr. Fruitcake of the Maryknoll Fathers, exudes that aura of manlihood that is needed to blur the distinction between the sexes. The curvlinear collar, the loosely fitted sleeves, the unbuttoned jacket - these emanate that relaxed, "just one of the guys" look. Notice how this is also displayed in her body language: hands clasped with interlocking fingers, receptiveness in the facial expression, and the torso askew to the left, but just a little. Poise, ladies... poise.
Simone Campbell, SSS (Genus: medicus mediocritus). Listen up, girlfriends! The 70s are back, so let's get groovin.. Simone, here, is wearing a lavious pink shirt with a spectacular, triangularlized collar. And don't forget to leave that top button undone. Remember, the seventies was a time of openess. Modesty, holiness and humility have nothing to do with being a nun. Oh!, how I miss those groovy days of bell bottoms, free love and gaudy colorations. To complete the package, do what Simone did: get a Carol Brady bouffant... Gooorrrgeouussss. Hair designs by Weakland.

THAT is Joan Chittister???? Hell, I really thought that was a man sitting there... and he needs a shave.
BTW, the hands show a certain anxiety... expecting difficult questions, was she?
As I look at all the pictures in the link, Cavey, I am not so sure that the "Springtime . . . . . ." will be over all that soon. Some of these folks are not exactly at death's door. We may be stuck with them and some of their even younger ilk maybe another 30-40 years, longer than I will surely be around.
Thanks again, Caves. If anyone does check it out, be sure to read the comments, as one person commented on another blog (not the blogger) criticised it as being "childish" and "uncharitable". My defence is therein.
Is that really Sr. Joan? Wow, I thought it was a man as well.
The more I see pics of liberal nuns, the more I hear, "me, me, it's all about me!"
