When I signed up for the Seattle AIDS Walk with the
Gothic Pride Seattle team, I did it because Dizzy (
now a Rep. of the Capitol Hill Community Council :D) would be there and it's always fun to go on a promenade decked out in my gothic finest. I did not know I was also going to have the company of these fine ladies:
Meet the
Sisters of the Mother House of Washington, the founding and recently resurrected charitable drag nun sisterhood of Seattle. Sister Angela Merici (flying nun hat with blue boa, novice sister on the lower right) was the organizer of the Gothic Pride Seattle team and also a gracious answerer of questions about the Sisters of the Mother House.
The park was just full of people. It would've made finding the team interesting, except that I was walking with towering drag nuns.
McGinn sighting! Seriously, this guy is everywhere.
No event with the Sisters is complete without lots and lots of photo ops. The nice man on the left without the flying nun hat is Ambrosio de Membro Sancto (heh heh), a guard of the Sisters of the Mother House. He's there expressly to make sure that the Sisters get where they're supposed to be on time and don't get completely sidetracked by said photo ops.
On the road with the Gothic Pride Seattle team.
We arrive at
Harem for a welcome cup of Turkish coffee and are greeted by Dizzy in his....festive...hat....
M. Theresa Nervina of the Mother House of Washington and Sr. Dorothy Faith of the
Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence of the Abbey of St. Joan.
The Mother and a possible future Sister of the Mother House.
The organizer of the Gothic Pride Seattle team, Sr. Angela Merici, plus admirers.
And of course I had to have a picture with the Mother of the Mother House, M. Theresa Nervina. I'm happy to announce that there will be more opportunities for photo ops soon - the Sisters of the Mother House will be accompanying the
Capitol Hill Community Council's Halloween Walk. I'm delighted - what better way is there to start Halloween on Capitol Hill than going door to door for candy on Broadway with a charitable sisterhood of drag nuns?

Dear Jen, Thank you for this lovely post. I am going to send it to my Mother Superiors and fellow sisters & priests. We look forward to supporting you in any way that we are able to in the future.
