On a random evening last week, I was sitting on a fairly empty N, spacing out as usual, when someone came to sit next to me. I glance over to do my usual inspection: you know, to see if he’s a) hot or b) serial killer.
The answer was, none of the above! He was, in fact, a man in a dress. But not just that – he was in a long black habit and incredible, theatrical makeup: white face make-up (like a geisha) and his eyes and lips were an iridescent green. That’s right – I was sitting next to a Sister of Perpetual Indulgence on the N! His full regalia also included two blobs on the side of his head like Princess Leah.
I complimented him on his beautiful makeup and he told me that he was promoting his roller disco party (Holy Rollers) to benefit homeless gay youths in SF.
he invited me to the disco, and we chatted for a while about the program, which helps gay homeless youths get back on their feet. Soon, I had to get off the the train, but it was a great encounter with a delightful (and fabulous) sistah!

Wow…I might have been tempted to follow the sister around just to get some makeup tips!

Oh my god, I need to ride the N more often if that’s the eye candy I might be treated to! Did you get the nun’s name?

That is the uber beautiful Sister Mary Timothy Simplicity. She is about the most spectacular person I have ever met, next to the rest of the nuns, that is!

Yes that is me in the picture, but I believe the Nun you met was our dear Novice Sister Desi Grones…
