Nun Beauty Pageant!
Posted by NextThingAug 25
While Catholic school girls have long garnered attention from the opposite sex, their habit-wearing teachers have never been known for their sex appeal. Nuns seem to be OK with that — after all, one doesn’t pursue an austere life because she wants to get whistles from construction workers.
But an enterprising Italian priest is now hoping to cast a spotlight on the sisterhood by holding the first beauty pageant exclusively for nuns called “Miss Sister Italy.”
“Nuns are above all women and beauty is a gift from God,” said priest Antonio Rungi of the southern Italian diocese of Modragone. “This contest will be a way to show there isn’t just the beauty we see on television but also a more discrete charm.”
In true 21st-century fashion, nuns who want to participate can send their pictures to Rungi, who will publish it on his blog to be voted on.
