This is the thread to display them in all their holy-gosh-begone-glory. So, jump
right in; the water's fine (actually, it's 100% purified by the grace of His Name).

I like this picture. It makes me smile. Every time I see a nun I think "bored and mean." I guess I was ignorant to them.

Thanks!

Not for nothing, but instead of re-creating this article, ripping all the images, and displaying them here, I instead, highly encourage you all to visit this link and read it in its original nature.

It's really quite a creative story, and right hilarious:

This thread is just awesome Jetée. I mean, it's about "flying" nuns and it's posted in the "fun" zone. Sent my crude brain straight to the gutter!

Jetée 04-21-2010 09:48 AM

Thanks, I really appreciate the comment, Xerxys; any response, I'll lend an ear to, really.

Also, I didn't have the time to address it when I orginally set this topic, but I think for now, if anyone wants to participate here in the future, please restrict yourself to only PG-13 images for the time being.
(meaning: implied nudity is somewhat okay, but don't go beyond that. I'd prefer not to have another NSFW tag slapped on prematurely.)
I'm sure this thread will progress to that next level in short order, but the natural thinker in me says I'd at least like to see this bloom creatively and humorously at first, and then the bloomers can come off.


basic reasoning is that the portrayals should not go beyond what has already been posted by uncle_phil and Fly above, as well as what I now post down below:

more nun puns for your amusement:

- If a priest is called a white collar worker, then a nun would be a creature of habit.

- A nun was kicked out of the order for inappropriate attire: her sheer habit.
- Several elderly nuns were in their second floor convent one night when a fire broke out.

They took their habits off, tied them together to make a rope, and climbed out the window.

After they were safely on the ground and out of the building, a news reporter came over to one of the nuns and said to her, "Weren't you afraid that the habits could have ripped or broken since they are old?

The nun replied, "No, my boy, don't you know old habits are hard to break!
not a pun, but a cocktail joke (one I remember reading in Playboy) ...
- One day, the head mother tells the two new sisters they have to paint their room without getting any paint on their clothes. So one nun says to the other, "We'd better take off all our clothes and lock the door."
They do this and begin painting. Soon they hear a knock at the door. "Who is it?" they ask.
"Blind man!" comes the answer.
The nuns look at each other and one says, "He's blind, he can't see anything. Let him in."
The man walks in and says, "Hey, nice tits. Where do you want me to hang the blinds?"
This is "Nunsense".

I've come to realize something very coincidentally-astounding over the past week, and that is, from most of random sources, even when they don't actually state where they got their images from, more and more of them I end up eventually finding at this vast repository.

So, like the quoted image, I eventually discovered it in time to have a caption, date, and photographer to add to it in order give some context to the photograph.

Sister Mary Katherine entered the Monastery of Silence.

'The Priest said, 'Sister, this is a silent monastery. You are welcome here as long as you like, but you may not speak until directed to do so.’

Sister Mary Katherine lived in the monastery for 5 years before the Priest said to her, 'Sister Mary Katherine, you have been here for 5 years. You may speak two words.'

Sister Mary Katherine said, 'Hard bed.'

'I'm sorry to hear that,' the Priest said, 'We will get you a better bed.'

After another 5 years, Sister Mary Katherine was summoned by the Priest. 'You may say another two words, Sister Mary Katherine.'

'Cold food,' said Sister Mary Katherine, and the Priest assured her that the food would be better in the future.

On her 15th anniversary at the monastery, the Priest again called Sister Mary Katherine into his office. 'You may say two words today.'

'I quit,' said Sister Mary Katherine.

'It's probably best,' said the Priest, 'You've done nothing but bitch since you got here.'

A drunk guy is stumbling down the street after a long night of drinking, and whilst passing, he manages to spot a nun.
He darts quickly across the street running into the nun, and knocks the nun over violently.
Then he exclaims "not as great as we claim to be are we, Batman!"

This topic, too, will feature an injection of gratituitous sexiness...

http://i40.tinypic.com/ick6ya.jpg

Quote:

A nun walks towards the crucifix, when Jesus – a bearded messianic dream-boat – steps down off the cross, throws her to the ground, tears open her habit and does the sex in her. Ten minutes later, a novice nun is stripped naked by her sisters who whip her tits before falling into a big bad Catholic orgy, wimples and all. Weirdly though, "nunsploitation" is based on real life.

This genre of soft-core erotica had its heyday in 70s Catholic Europe with stories of nuns getting possessed by the devil, who was endlessly attracted to lesbian sex and violent punishment games. The good thing about nunsploitation movies is that, unlike most exploitation porn, they’re mostly set in the Renaissance and pretend to be based on real life.

For example, The True Story of the Nuns of Monza and the Sisters of Satan is basically a documentary. 17th Century nuns were actually getting just as rampant as these movies suggest. Between 1550 and 1790, there were around 50 recorded cases of mass demonic possession in convents throughout western Europe. Nuns were getting possessed all over the place, which standardly involves a lesbian orgy, a dance around naked, and totally messing up your chastity vow with a crucifix. Possessed nuns would have fits, speak in tongues, expose themselves and scream obscenities. During exorcisms, they would tear off their habits and writhe around screwing invisible demons and taking the name of Christ’s holy cock in vain.

La monja fatal [may 10] by JavierPsilocybin

(Like I told you before: 'Monja' in Spanish means nun.)

author's comments (translated):
I remember one occasion when in a hostel in Florence, a roommate told me a story that had happened to him. He had gone to the Vatican, and during his visit he encounters a passing nun. She asks him for a bit of money, but he tells her has none. Then the nun pulls out a knife and literally assaults him. The guy in question told me that he only had € 5 in his wallet and was all that he could give her. "But I have no regrets," he said, "history is worth more than five euros."

Apparently, the above image is from : a calendar of Nuns. Having Fun.

Product Description:
Glory hallelujah—the nuns are back! Truly “habit-forming” (Maxim), the NUNS HAVING FUN CALENDAR is on a roll, with 2006 sales up 27% for a total of 96,000 copies. Who can resist these sweet, nostalgic images depicting the lighter side of convent life? In black-and-white and sepia, the photographs are from the 1950s and ’60s. Here are nuns frolicking through the waves (yes, in full habits). Nuns at the bowling alley. Nuns on a roller coaster, nuns singing, nuns in a chorus line, nuns playing jump rope, nuns on a road trip, nuns in bumper cars. Oh, and what fun they’re having! From Maureen Kelly and Jeffrey Stone, co-authors of the New York Times bestseller Growing Up Catholic, it’s a wonderfully fresh, entertaining look at the stern-looking sisters many of us remember from our childhoods.
About the Author:
Maureen Kelly and Jeffrey Stone are the authors of Growing Up Catholic, the New York Times bestseller with over a million copies in print. They also write the bestselling Nuns Having Fun calendar. They are, collectively, the product of 24 years of parochial school. Ms. Kelly lives in Pittsburgh.


There's also the back catalog, (as the above is an excerpt image, as well as the cover, for the 2007 calendar) seen here:

(the cover for this calendar is ring's image)


I'll post the covers in my next post, and see if I can't also see what else is found within these "calendar books".

news article:
 
NEWSWEEK: At a time when the Catholic Church most needs women, it has launched a frontal attack on its nuns.

excerpt:
Earlier this month, in something of a surprise, a nun at a Catholic hospital in Phoenix was excommunicated
for approving a first-trimester abortion last year at that hospital to save the life of a critically ill patient.

Pittsburgh -- Sister Mary Ellen bites her lip as she makes her first try at bowling.
The sister's form looked good even though she whispers that the ball went down the
gutter to Sister Damian, right. Some sixty nuns of the Vincentian Sisters of Charity
bowled for several hours as guests of a bowling alley in Pittsburgh's North Hills.

Sister Luc Gabriel (Jeanine Deckers) was best known as the Singing Nun. This nun was so badass that her song Dominque became such a hit that it knocked Elvis Presley off the charts! Overnight, the Dominican nun was an international celebrity with the stage name of Soeur Sourire (Sister Smile). She gave concerts and appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964. Her fame went to her head and she eventually left the convent to spend more time on her musical career.

The first time I saw a nun, I was 6 years old.
Groggy from the anesthesia after surgery,I began to scream.

"Mom! There's a witch in my room!" (Catholic hospital. Nun nurse.)

My poor mother was quite embarrassed. The nurse/nun quietly left the room,
and let my mom try to explain what a nun was. My young, ignorant, medicated brain
couldn't grasp much at that time.

Anyway, here are some nuns in Pakistan:

As I already posted this cool image with details, it wasn't too difficult to find and fulfill your request for the artist's name. (Just in time for shark week, too.)

After Much Prayer, Nuns Decide to Join Lady Gaga’s Record Label - TIME NewsFeed [article]

excerpt:
Decca Records, the division of Universal Records that is responsible for Lady Gaga, Eminem and Amy Winehouse, has just signed their newest group—a secluded order of Benedictine nuns.

The record company, who has been looking to replicate their success when they signed a group of Austrian monks in 2008, selected the nuns from more than 70 groups vying for the deal from around the world. The nuns, who live in a convent near Avignon, France,are reportedly skilled in Gregorian Chant.

Since the nuns are secluded, the recording of all tracks will take place inside the convent, as well as the shooting of the album cover. The Reverend Mother Abbess has said of the signing: “At first we were worried it would affect out cloistered life, so we asked St Joseph in prayer. Our prayers were answered, and we thought that this album would be a good thing if it touches people's lives and helps them find peace.”

Love Train for the Tenebrous Empire: Clovis Trouille's Nun Art

The art of surrealist painter Clovis Trouille employs a catalog of highly personal imagery, plucked from sources ranging from Catholic iconography to advertising to erotica/pornography. One of the themes that runs through Trouille's work is that of the sexualized nun.


above piece:
"Dialogue au Carmel," 1944, featured at the Guggenheim in NYC.

Observation: I still don't get why the strict and obscene (I'm sure there's a better word for 'bawdy') NSFW label has to be observed here.
I get that a few posts are suggestive, but there's still no nudity, and that's my own interpretation of what needs the NSFW label
(and dozens upon of re-utterances of sexual organs, but that is just moi; plus, I don't know who I'm winning over and/or pissing off by stating this, but 'NSFW' is a little nym I hate to encounter).

Sexy Ads Upset the Pope - Racy Equinox Fitness Ad (VIDEO) [article]

The latest (as in two years ago) in buzzworthy ads is the new Equinox Fitness ad campaign, “Happily Ever.” One image features a group of nuns (one revealing a sexy garter!) sketching a still life portrait of a very chiseled, naked model who looks much like Michelangelo’s David. Judging by their facial expressions, they’re quite amused by the features of their manly muse.

Rightfully entitled ‘Dark Habits,’ the Ashley Smith Dedicate June 2010 editorial is taking racy nun photography to a whole new level. Sacrilegious spreads have been appearing in several different publications and stirring up controversy, but there’s no denying it’s growing popularity.

In the Ashley Smith Dedicate June 2010 editorial, this model is featured wearing either nothing at all or a full-on nun attire. With rosary beads, a black-and-white theme and cigarettes in every shot, this is one racy spread that you can’t help loving.
