Priest to hold nun beauty pageant
"An Italian priest says he is organising the world's first beauty pageant for nuns to erase a stereotype of them as being old and dour."
...
"Father Rungi stressed that nuns were not being invited to parade in bathing suits, saying it will be up to them whether they pose with the traditional veil or with their heads uncovered."
I have nothing to add here.

Priest cancels nun beauty contest
An Italian priest who said he wanted to hold the world's first beauty contest for nuns has decided to cancel the project, saying he was misunderstood.
His suggestion that nuns who wished to enter the contest send their pictures to him so that readers of his blog could vote on them was evidently "interpreted as more of a physical thing," said Father Rungi.
"My superiors were not happy. The local bishop was not happy, but they did not understand me either," he added, explaining his decision to call off the contest.
