I am full of stories today it seems, lol.
Decided to make a new post because I didn't want to hi-jack the other one :)
When we were rehearsing the song, we decided to walk around the village! 8 nuns in our complete garb, headdress and all. People were looking out the window too, lol
This is the whole group. I am in the back, second from right.
Close-up of me:)

Oh Marian! I was reading Frannie's post about you in the nun outfit and I thought I would love to see that, then I looked over and here it is! BRAVO!
I have heard of people dressing like they just got married in vegas to get a free meal, but to dress as nuns for a free lunch. . .jk, lol
You all look like your having a smashing time. What fun!
Thank you for sharing.
best,h

marian,
it sounds like you have a great group of friends...girls you can really have a good time with. its amazing how we never outgrow a good game of dress up.
What we write today slipped into our souls some other day when we were alone and doing nothing.

okay, i did my research and this time read the post that i had missed.
i love this story.
my mom was raised in a convent by ursuline nuns in galveston and i was taught by dominicans, years later. i think i got the better deal, cause i didnt have to live with them, and well, ursulines are like the female jesuits.
any way i love the pics and loved finding out the rest of the story.
it made me laugh all over again.
love

Good story, Marian. Thanks for explaining to us lost ones. But really, the lady 2nd from the left reminds me of the head nun at a catholic school I went to in Savannah when I was 12. She could pass for a real nun. I guess it's her expression.

Gals who are lost:
NO I have never been a nun, not my calling, never has been never will be.
But my friends and neighbour always host a big family/friends BBQ in their backard with about 60 peeps attending. They do songs, little cabaret things etc. And this year they decided to do the song from Sister Act: "will follow Him" and an Elvis one in the backgrounbd of their brothers. This particular day I was "just "a substitute for one of the sis in laws, but we had SO myuch fub they all decided I was going to be part of the club on THE day too,
They decided to include me in their sister act. They are all sisters/sisters in law and I have been bombarded as a sister too.
SO it was just a performance, lol.
But a fun one and we DID have a lot of success.
About the nails: I was just back from my month vacation in Thailand, visiting my brother and his partner, they live there. I saw the nails being done in a shop and they called my name, lol SO decided to have them done too. They turned out to be too long for comfort esp. in the beginning but they "grew" on me. After about a month I decided to take them off, my own nails started to grow and it was so darn difficult to zip oup my pants or close a blouse, lol.
SO off they went, boohoo. I loved them too, they were white with little pink flowers :)
SO that is my nun story, in short.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, cookies in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming. "WOOHOO, What a Ride!"

I remember a long time ago seeing the movie Cabaret, where Liza MInelli says she is making her fingernails look not divinely decadent, but reverent. I thought of you when I saw your fingernails and your habit!

So funny, Marian! Love it and all you nuns are so pretty, no wonder you all left the habits behind! :) I spent 13 years around nuns and you are making me giggle! Love the nails and the pink and white stripes shirt sleeves (showing). Cute.

Marian, I'm glad you kicked the "habit". I like you better just as you are. It really must have been a blast though. Would love to have seen the performance.

Ok I am lost. I guess I need the story. I was going to say I didn't know you were a nun, but I guess you really aren't a nun. So what's really going on here? Is the story someplace else and I missed it?
You do look so cute and I did notice the nails first thing. I also did not think nuns looked so flashy these days but maybe over in the Netherlands they do?

LOL!!
Well I am no longer a nun so she'd better find someplace else. I left my habit behind, and the headdress too and just am back to plain Marian, the Princess of Pink. Don't think Mother Superior would be TOO impressed with me, lol

Ok, I had to giggle...I read your line "I am in the back, second from right" too fast and thought it said "I am in the black." Teehee. I needed a good laugh today. :)
