Her
mission:
Is
to Equip her brothers and sisters with HIGH STANDARDS and goals for living, and
to inspire others to Live as if they VALUE Themselves. She combats a Rationalistic
and Selfish cultural worldview.
“It
is my mission to Fight the Villains of Narcissism, Insecurity,
Flock Mentality, Hedonism,
Poor Self Image, and to Siege War on the
OPPRESSORS of Peer Pressure, Gender Stereotyping, Misogyny,
Sexual Assault, Violence
against women, Fundamentalism, and other
negative messages of the Mass-Media.”
"FIGHT
THE FILTH": " Beginning in childhood, we are taught by the mass
media to value superficial physical beauty. For example, fairytales like the
“Sleeping Beauty” and “Beauty and the Beast” express iconic illustrations of
the “princess” ideal, constructing extreme gender expectations. Advertising capitalizes
on our fears of becoming “ugly” and aged, and
further exhorts an image of the American “ideal” physique in order to sell
products. These ads target and create insecurities, portraying unrealistic depictions of the human
body and romanticizing youth. It
is most disturbing how strongly this affects young girls and teens, causing
depression and poor sense of self-worth, terrifying them to the extent that
they may develop eating disorders and even endure surgery for “cosmetic
improvements.” American icons have become
no-talent, self absorbed heiresses who spend all their time on their physical appearance
and defining their elitism. Our culture presents sex as a necessary obsession and treats
people as objects for consumption. I want to fight back by infiltrating culture
with a better message...promoting the freedom of self control."

The
pink nun seeks to purify the mass cultural stimuli marketed to us at every
moment. Because it is impossible to eliminate degrading and negative images, she wants to combat this negative marketing with her own
alternative marketing. The pink nun's art promotes
self respect, self control, and respect for sexual intimacy. She wants
to present her ideas as ideal standards for living and ways to protect
yourself, and not as a judgement of lifestyles.
"TAKE
CONTROL (of thyself)":
"We are not objects-we are not meat! We are not fast food!
We are not to be consumed."
The
pink nun's goal
is to inspire you to Take control, not become victims, and demand respect for yourselves.
1. There
IS such a thing as right and wrong choices,
2. Choices
have consequences,
3. There
are ways we should restrict ourselves so we do not harm ourself or others.
Living for yourself
WILL harm others in the process.
The
pink nun promotes a self respect, self-control, feminist view of body image.
"I fight for purity, truth and the ideal way!"
PURITY=
pu·ri·ty n
1. the absence, or
degree of absence, of anything harmful, inferior, unwanted, or of a different

“Think about what pure love, pure intimacy and pure sexuality are can be in their
ideal sense.”
