Meet Sister Unity, Bootysattva
Storyteller, nun, drag queen, and kind-hearted nut -- Sister Unity is one of the web's more unique and colorful personalities. I stumbled across her while searching YouTube for videos on Hindu mythology.
Sister Unity Divine has a gift for storytelling and bringing myths to life, and that alone made me a fan. But her joyful, off-beat sense of humor shines through even when she's being serious. And she is serious -- she is seriously trying to make a difference in the world by promoting joy, love, understanding, and yogi wisdom in ways that many pay lip service to, but few people live and embody so exuberantly.
She is a member of the Los Angeles Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence who use laughter and play to challenge our shame/blame/guilt culture, foster tolerance and kindness, and raise money for programs in AIDs prevention, education, research and care.

Sister Unity Divine: Her Autobiography
When Stardust and Salami Collide
Sister Unity was born when the radioactive remnants of a comet passing through Earth's path around the sun filtered through our atmosphere and struck a vat of orange mylar in a Massachusetts glitter factory. A workman eating his lunch was leaning over the vat and the rind of a slice of salami fell from his hoagie into the irradiated mylar. The protein chains from the luncheon meat combined with the orange mylar and over the next 24 hours coalesced into para-human form. When the mylar was poured out the following day, there at the bottom of the vat was Sister Unity Divine! She was quickly debriefed by NSA specialists in Human Hybridized Life Forms and sent to an exclusive prep school in the Northeast. Graduating with honors, she matriculated to Harvard University where she majored in Fungal Bio-commerce and Theater. Receiving an honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from Harvard, she traveled to India where she spent the better half of the Nineteen Eighties meditating in a small hut. The rest of the decade was spent carousing in British Synth-pop clubs. After tutoring ESL to space aliens in southern Bhutan, Sister Unity moved to Los Angeles to observe the decline of Western civilization first hand. There she awaits the rise of the new cultural paradigm while promulgating individual creative freedom and fomenting compassionate community interdependence with her colleagues and fellow Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.

Poll: Your Reaction to Sister Unity!
My first impression was, "what a weirdo!" (which isn't a bad thing) followed by "what a sweetheart!"
Yep, I know, you might be offended. We're all different and we're not all going to agree. Just don't be nasty about it, okay?
