i was really looking for one of those flying nun types and got all excited when i found images of the Daughters of Charity from belgium with their space-ship hats, but in all practicality nuns in america did not wear those hats, especially not in the middle of a war. the american variety were much more along the lines of elizabeth ann seton.

i suppose i could make up some nuns with funny hats, but it would be pushing it. especially when i feel like i am making up so much else.

then again, why not?
