Suggested by my studio assistant (Ed Pien's mostly) and artist, Joel Thomson, who thinks this is funny, frankly I don't, it all looks pretty normal to me.
Dominique, outsold Elvis for four weeks on the Billboard Charts in 1963.
From the movie with Debbie Reynolds
Updated disco version with Soer Sourire looking very hip and Vatican II
A friend* recently brought me this cast iron Nun beer opener from Montreal.
Obviously made in prison by Maurice "Mom" Boucher, former head of the Quebec Hells Angels.
From the best Globe & Mail story ever ,set in the best city in the universe:
The Hells Angels chieftain made a shooting gesture with his thumb raised and two fingers pointed in the shape of gun - a sign gangsters use for a targeted hit.
"I knew exactly what he meant - he had him killed, end of story," Mr. Sirois said. "He tells me when Gilles died, she almost bought it."
"Elle était pour y passer - she was supposed to be next," he recalled Mr. Boucher saying.
"He was really nervous, which made me freaking scared," Mr. Sirois said. "I didn't want to know about this but it was too late - he told me and now I am part of this secret."
A day or two later, Mr. Boucher summoned Mr. Sirois for their third meeting - this time at his comfortable suburban home in Contrecoeur.
"He officially tells me to dump her," Mr. Sirois said.
"Flush la," is the blunt way the Hells Angels boss put it.
I was once told that my French language skills sounded like "a hells angel on death row".

I'm so torn, I'm not sure if this Sunday's devotional is more about singing nuns, Hells Angels or hot babes who force Tory cabinet ministers to resign.
Agnes Moorehead was in the movie.

Could Sister Mouse (or is it Sister Smile? I always get those two French words confused) look more second wave Lez in the disco version? Bra-less, man-less, and hair by Pyrex, just the way God intended.
Note to M. Jean -- you should try listening to LM ramble on in person. It is indeed interesting, the same way autism is interesting. - RMV (guest) 6-09-2008 4:02 pm
kiki and herbs version of dominca is a peice of post queer camp genius. - anthony (guest) 6-09-2008 4:10 pm
Been there, RMV! It _is_ interesting, like autism but a tad more kinetic.

But you are actually right about something, according to Wikipedia our little Belgian Bride of Christ turned out to be a tad radical for the order:
"Although she was deeply religious, she was also increasingly critical of some of the Roman Catholic Church's doctrine and eventually became an advocate of birth control. She also agreed with John Lennon's statements about Jesus in 1966. In 1967, she recorded a song entitled "Glory Be to God for the Golden Pill" — a paean to contraception — under the name Luc Dominique. It met with large commercial failure. She was also a lesbian and a strong supporter of gay rights in her later years."

Many years ago a friend of mine had a sublet of a loft on King & Bathurst from Mary Shaver, the author of the Naked Nun and sister of the actress Helen Shaver. She was also an artist who made drawings of men and women lying spread eagle with photos of fruit (cut out from magazines) collaged over their genitals. - L.M. 6-10-2008 5:03 am

Speaking of Montreal, to answer an inane and popular rhetorical question, it is not the New Vancouver, Montreal is the best place in the universe.
