From such humble beginnings a Mission was positioned. Much needed to be explained to the baby mission, mewling and puking in its mothers arms; 'Get that out of your mouth, you'll ruin your lippy' 'Put it down, it's dirty' and 'Spanking is meant to be a punishment, stop giggling'.
We were welcomed with open legs by the Sisterhood, we were soon part of a nationwide, nay worldwide gaggle of cackling tin shaking trollops. We soon learned to shake a tin, shoot a shot and snap a fan. We learned that we're not just wanted but needed as much in Cardiff as we are anywhere else. We became the fabulous flawless face of scrounging.
Slowly the Mission grew (a grower not a shower), indulging massive makeup fetishes, be it bought, borrowed, or unconsciously donated (he means nicked), baffling the gathered faithful, making the bars wonder what new form of scam this might be and generally appearing fabulously unprofessional.
If there's room in the world for us to be like this, then there's room in the world for you to be whatever you choose. We lead by example, not to follow us, but dance with us, and should ANYone try to get in the way, then just smack them aside with your handbag or man bag. Can we get a Harrumph? ....... How fabulous.
World Wide Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence Sistory
On Easter Weekend 1979 in San Francisco, during the time of the "Castro Clone," being extremely bored with the conformist atmosphere three men went out into the streets to challenge the world: Ken Bunch (Sister Vicious PHB), Fred Brungard (Sister Missionary Position) and Baruch Golden. They went in full, traditional habits through the streets of our city and down to the nude beach. One even carried a machine gun (for protection). They were met with shock and amazement, but captured everyone's interest. Their next appearance was at a softball game where their pompon all but stole the show. In the fall of 1979, Sister Hysterectoria (Edmund Garron) and Reverend Mother (Bill Graham) went to the first International Faerie gathering and encountered even more men with the calling. Our 4 Founders, Sister Vicious PHB, Reverend Mother, Missionary Position and Hysterectoria-Agnes convened their friends, chose our name (The Sisters Of Perpetual Indulgence) and composed our mission statement: to promulgate universal joy and expiate stigmatic guilt. The above text is from the San Francisco Sisters website which you can find out more sistory here.
