In their whiteface makeup, gaudy jewels, spangles and nun habits gone gloriously wild, the DFW Sisters are hard to miss — and equally hard to ignore. "[Our appearance] brings people to us," says Novice Sister Tasha myFUPA. "The public wants to know: What's this all about?"
A branch of the San Francisco-based Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, the DFW Sisters have been doing fundraising, charity and service work in the DFW area for more than a year.
Originally founded as the Sisters of the Yellow Rose in February 2010, the DFW Sisters formed when the STYR regrouped the following September. In January, the main — or "mother" — SPI house in San Francisco recognized the Sisters as an SPI mission.
