An Italian priest says he is organising the world's first beauty pageant for nuns to erase a stereotype of them as being old and dour.
Antonio Rungi says The Miss Sister Italy online contest will start on his blog in September.
"Nuns are above all women and beauty is a gift from God," he told Italy's Corriere della Sera newspaper.
He is asking nuns to send their photos to him, saying that internet users will then choose the winner.
Father Rungi stressed that nuns were not being invited to parade in bathing suits, saying it will be up to them whether they pose with the traditional veil or with their heads uncovered.
"This contest will be a way to show there isn't just the beauty we see on television but also a more discreet charm," the priest, who lives near the southern city of Naples, told the Corriere della Sera.
"You really think all nuns are old, stunted and sad? This isn't the case anymore," he said, pointing out that many young nuns had arrived to Italy from around the world.
He added that the idea of staging such a contest had been suggested by nuns themselves.
So what exactly will the categories be? I guess you need to have the beauty of the Virgin Mary, followed with the Charm of Mary Magdalen, the force of Joan of Ark, and the dedication of Mother Teresa.

Kylie Minogue just wrapped up her European Leg of the X tour. Those lucky bastards in England got to watch it for free on a new Music channel 4. I got a chance to catch the tour on its opening night in Paris. I've always been a Kylie Fan except I never got a chance to fully appreciate her because Madonna governs Pop Stardom in the States. Of course that night I was converted. Love Kylie and she puts on a great show. Check it out for yourselves and I know all of Madonna's fans are going to comment that there's "No one like the Queen " but you know what, in history all queens eventually give up their crowns.
(The queerest song "Your Disco needs you" is my favorite! This one for the Mary's!)
