Shopping Spree!!!!!!

Felicity and I seem to be on a vow of poverty. In fact my recent visits to Starbucks are primarily funded by the gift cards I received from people at the veiling. YAY! GIFTS! Thank you Sister Odora for treating everynun to a Starbucks card!

So, mostly it was caffeinated window shopping, but since Felicity and I had some free time before meeting up with Sister 3M at the Chandler Gilbert college, we had some tea and coffee, and some fun browsing through the Chandler Fashion Center spreading joy and laughter, and a bit of bemusement.

We started out at Starbucks in the local B&N Bookseller where Mischif nursed her Iced Chai Frap, and Felicity worshiped the caffeine Gods via iced coffee goodness. Mmmm cool and refreshing as the April temps bop around between 85 and 90 here in sunny Phoenix, AZ.

On our way through Barnes and Noble, we came across these fantastic titles. How could we not pause to admire the author's work. What Nunling wouldn't want a leather covered book titled Fetish, or a Sex Bible?

Speaking of what Nunlings might want... we then headed over to Hot Topic where Felicity eyed the many pirate punk options, and joined Kelly in the pursuit for SHOES... OMG Shoes! After finding all those goodies were beyond her budget, Postulant Felicity left with a new pirate sash, and a desire for pink and black striped tights.

And if you want to know what to buy THIS Sister for her birthday, all you have to do is visit hot topic's earing section and look for the zero gauge buddah plugs.... or this goth doll who just makes me happy. Look, his makeup and mine are the same color. A match made in heaven!


And last but not least, we stopped by Ambercrombie & Fitch to visit some of the people working within. Talk about sexy clothes that we should be putting on Felicity! I saw several pair of shorts and skirts that would look so good on her skinny butt! Something to look forward to on future trips.

Phoenix Pride in April?

I'm about 3 events behind on this blog, so bear with me ;) Eventually I'll catch up.

The day after our veiling, a gaggle of nuns descended upon Phoenix Pride. It was wonderfully fun, and there are still tons of photos pouring in of course. Apparently we won most colorful strolling contingent. That doesn't seem like much of a surprise, especially after you take a gander at these pictures.

Pride is one of my favorite events of the year, because it's where I first saw a Sister years ago. Not in Phoenix obviously as I'm not from around these parts, but a pride nonetheless. So I always look at pride as a chance to serve my community and provide joy and laughter to the world while having a blast. What better thing is there!

Happy 4/20!

I'm off to an Earth day concert at the 1 Voice Community Center in a moment, and I've finally finished uploading pictures from our Veiling ceremony.

I haven't finished uploading the pictures from pride, nor the photos from the Safer Sex talk we did the other day, nor last night's Blessing, so many more to come.

But before I head out the door, I thought I would share my favorite picture of Sisters Mary Timothy Simplicity and Merry Peter representing Fire and Air at the start of the veiling ritual. These two Sisters work so well together, and truly inspire me in my path as a Sister.

Blessed be!

The Party's Over.... the next begins!

Well thank you to everyone who came to our big party. I was shocked more people didn't show up afterwards to party with us, you missed out! So for those of you who have emailed me congratulations and wishing you could have made it, I will post a few pictures of my favorite moments! And of course, you will see pictures popping up on azsisters.org for days to come as everyone continues to send pics in, upload them to our flickr page, etc.

Sister Buffie Fae Taybul watched over the food for us. I loved the tiny corn dogs, singing pink flamingo, and general ambiance back there in the OZ bar. Oz bar is the back room at Club Forbidden. A bar within a bar... very interestink! Oh the things that must happen in Oz.

One of my favorite moments was when the visiting Sisters began to arrive.

Finally meeting our co-Mistresses of Missions, Sisters Merry Peter and Mary Timothy Simplicty in Person was one of my all time favorite moments of the night.

The performances by community members like Joe and Justice from the Phoenix Imperial Court...
Anson Reign of the Reigning Men ...

and this sexy drag king from Sisterzz Twisted were so much fun!

And my favorite part, the ritual. The MoMs really brought to life just the way I'd imagined it. The visiting Sisters pinned our black veils, and then we partied the night away! YAY!

And of course what better way to end the night than with the surprise naked male torso cake!

More Big Hat Bingo

Father Do B. Smokin attended Big Hat Bingo last night, with Novice Oralee and Nvc Guard Spiketakiss. We had a blast, and raised a bit of money towards Sister charities. Around $90 I believe. Icepics informed me that we will be the charity which funds from Big Hat Bingo go to for the month of April. Since we were founded in April of last year, that is a special thing for us. We will put the funds raised this month towards Sister Charities.

This time Pandora and Novice Oralee took turns on the mic, Father Do B. was the Master of Balls, and Guard Spiketakiss played Bingo, fetched drinks, brought in food for the hungry volunteers and generally watched our backs ;) Joe and Justice from the local Court stopped by and played a couple games as well. They will be running for Emporer and Empress, and came by to remind everyone to vote as Court elections are open to the community.

Big Hat Bingo will continue at Icepics Video Bar each Monday from 8 to 10 PM. It's a great place to be on Mondays! Fun, good times, good booze, cheap bingo cards, and prizes. What more could you want to turn your Monday frown upside down!
