Costume Fusion

We’ve got fusion in music, fusion in cooking, and it seems only right to have fusion in costumes. Costume fusion, like any other type of fusion, is creating something new and unique (in this case, a new and unique costume idea) by blending, mixing or joining aspects of different costumes.

I love this idea!! It solves two problems at one time. First you are pretty much assured that no one else is going to show up in your costume. Don’t you just hate it when you think you’ve got a great costume idea and then you get to the party, only to discover that you are one of 50 other Batmans.

It also solves the problem of deciding between two great ideas. Just put them together!

My favorite recently is the Hello Kitty Darth Vader.

Or maybe it’s the Princess Vader.

Then there is always the Elvis Trooper.


As you can see Star Wars costumes seem to fuse well with other costumes. But I think it’s time for costume fusion to happen with other costumes as well.

We have our Miss Sister Contest going on right now and I think I will submit a nun fusion costume. I’m thinking Nunder Woman (a much-needed superhero nun) or Twisted Sister (80s hair band nun). Imagine that! I’ll post pictures in a bit.

What are some costume fusion ideas in your head? Share them in our comments section.

Miss Sister Pageant Is ON!

Have you heard the horrible news? The Miss Sister Pageant has been called off! I KNOW!! Devastating news! Nuns everywhere are in deep, mournful, mourning. They finally get their chance of a lifetime – a chance to show the whole world how hot and sexy . . . --- ooops, my bad! Disregard that, I meant to say, how beautiful and attractive nuns are (of course, with the main emphasis being on inner beauty – wink, wink).

Apparently the brains behind Miss Sister 2008, Father Antonio Rungi feels that maybe his intentions were misunderstood. He insists he never intended to have nuns on the catwalk. Basically Father Antonio got all sorts of negative feedback – from his catholic bosses and the community - and wussed out.

I know many of you out there were getting your habit together and planning your photo shoot. So I am now going to open up our blog for all those of you anxious to compete for the title of Miss Sister. We won’t even require that you be a real nun, or even a female. Just send us your photo in your best nun outfit. No bio, no proof of great acts of philanthropy, heck, you don’t even need to know all the books of the Bible.

We’ll post all the good submissions we get on our blog on September 12, 2008. So that gives you just under two weeks to get into your best looking habit or other fancy, schmancy nun apparel. Send a jpeg submission to sales@scavengeinc.com. Then we'll pick Scavenge's Miss Sister and crown the winner.

Hot in the Habit

There’s a brand new beauty pageant on the block, girls. This one, “Miss Sister 2008” is the brain child of an Italian priest, Father Antonio Rungi. You guessed it, it’s a beauty pageant for nuns! Such a simple idea, such an obvious way to go – how come no one thought of it earlier?! Way to go, Father Rungi.

Apparently this beauty contest is going to be held online – at first. Father Rungi is hoping it becomes a real world event as well. We’ll see how this first one goes. The goal of Miss Sister 2008 is to dispel that age-old assumption that nuns are old, homely women, who are only nuns because they couldn’t get a man.

Sorry everyone, but he says there won’t be a swim-suit competition in this pageant. They can pose in a full habit or with their heads uncovered. Nuns from all over the world are invited to participate. Photos and bios will be posted on Rungi’s blog starting in September, so the online community can vote.

Here are the requirements – well you have to be a nun (a novice or a full member, whatever that entails) and between the ages of 18 and 40. And, although this isn’t stated as a requirement, I suppose you ought to be good-looking as well. Rungi is expecting (or hoping for) 1,000 entries.

Don’t miss this opportunity, girls. Are you a good girl with a naughty side or a naughty girl with a bit of a good side? This pageant could be just the place for either type. And I suppose being a real nun or something close might help your chances.

See, the thing is, we’ve known for years how hot a habit can be. And, as luck would have it, we happen to have just the outfit for your photo submission. Check out this hot little habit.

We’ve field tested this outfit and found that it is quite effective. You should try it out at home first. Believers and unbelievers alike have been known to fall to their knees, thanking the heavens, when their girl walks into the room wearing this one. Many have even reported having almost religious experiences as well.

Good luck to all the contestants.
