Kurzbeschreibung
Catholic kitsch doesn't get any funnier. Written by Maureen Kelly and Jeffrey Stone, pitch-perfect co-authors of the nuns calendar and the "New York Times" bestseller "Growing Up Catholic", "Nuns Having Fun" features hundreds of sisters in full habit, cutting loose and having a hoot. Here are nuns in the surf ("This is even more fun than walking on water"), nuns in bumper cars ("We brake for Jesus"), nuns in a beer hall ("Ale Marys"), and nuns in the museum, huddled in front of a study of nudes ("It's okay to open your eyes. Sister Wendy says it's art"). There are nuns on skates, at bat, at the theatre, skeet shooting (nuns with guns!), even hitting the slots (you know it's for a good cause).The many images are from the 1950s and '60s, black-and-white and possessing a pure retro charm; the written material is all-new. Drawing on their years as parochial school students, the authors explore the lore and legends surrounding nuns, including Favourite Punishments from Nuns, Nuns Say the Darndest Things, How to Recognize a Nun After Vatican II, a Wimple Watch, and List of People Who Could Have Been Nuns.As Sister says, 'To err is human. To laugh is divine'.

This is a nice calendar which also Christians will like, it is humorous and yet never tasteless. Nice Photos in Retro-Look.

Tip top!

Format:Kalender
Ideal for people who like knowing what the date is and seeing nuns having fun, or for people who wish to win an argument with a sceptical friend who claims that nuns don't ever have fun.

Bought one of these calendars for my office and gave one as a gift to an old school chum. You can't imagine the memories it brings back to people who come into my office. They love it and it wouldn't surprise me if they buy one too!

Hilarious and Practical Too
16. Januar 2006
Format:Kalender
I loved this calendar so much I bought two- one to use and one to frame the best of the images. These pictures are wonderful- beautiful black and whites of nuns in casinos, looking at nude art, on the beach, drinking beer, etc. These are real women having the time of their lives, in full habit no less. Looking at the calendar every morning is a reminder to have a great day and not to take life too seriously. As a practical matter, the squares are large enough to put a lot of info on, so even people with busy schedules can keep it all in one place.
