Project Nunway is a charity fashion show where Sisters from the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence are paired with designers to develop a look fashioned from recycled materials based on the theme 2012. Nunway creator, Sister Baba Ganesh describes Nunway 3 as “a Fellini-esque drag fashion extravaganza & holiday tea dance to celebrate the end and the beginning of time. We make art couture from recycled and repurposed materials as our way of embracing sustainability & rejecting consumerism. Nunway fever is on as Sister Houses from Orlando to Dallas to Atlanta are also producing Nunways  to raise funds for their communities!†Funds from this holiday fundraiser will go to the Sisters’ general fund that supports their various fundraising and community awareness programs.
Nunway 3 also features a pop-up shop (with one- of-a-kind clothing and accessories, including celebrity avant-garde designers Ashton Micheal and Marco Marco), celebrity commentaries, a holiday photo booth, raffle, and SQRRRL DJs Trevor Sigler and Bill Dupp with Sister Maudlin Mascara working the dancefloor into an apocalyptic frenzy.
The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, Inc. is a 22nd Century Order of queer nuns. Since their first appearance in San Francisco on Easter Sunday, 1979, the Sisters have been accused of “Ruining It For Everyone” with their habitual injection of art and gaiety into serious affairs including human rights, political activism and religious intolerance. The Sisters consider it their mission to “ruin” all detrimental conditions including consumerist greed, complacency, guilt and the inability to laugh at one’s self.
