S2E16, Part 2: Sister Roma on Becoming a Drag Nun (Part of Our Sisters at 40 Series)

On April 21 at Dolores Park, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence will celebrate its 40th anniversary, bringing its Hunky Jesus contest back where it originated many years ago. There to emcee the event, as always, will be Sister Roma (Sister There's No Place Like Rome). In this podcast, Sister Roma talks about finding out that her good friend was a Sister, getting made up for the first time (and looking "fucking amazing"), and many of the public awareness campaigns she's been involved with in her 30+ years with the organization. If you missed Part 1, when Roma talked about her All-American, preppy young adult life before moving to San Francisco in the 1980s, please go back and listen. We recorded this podcast at the Cinch Saloon in February 2019. Film photography by Michelle Kilfeather​
