absolutely fabulous!http://blogs.sfweekly.com/thesnitch/2012/12/sisters_of_perpetual_indulgenc.php
You can count on San Francisco to keep things real, and last night the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence didn't just keep it real, they kept it really entertaining.
Was it a coincidence that the sisters had dinner reservations next to the very conservative Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio (aka "America's Toughest Sheriff" last night at John's Grill in Union Square? Whether it was or wasn't, last night's surprise dinner guests made for some great Kodak (and Hallmark) moments.
It appeared that Arpaio, the sheriff who was proud to support Arizona's controversial anti-illegal immigration law, wasn't too thrilled to be dining that close to the salacious sisters, who were grabbing a bite before the annual Drag Queens on Ice show.

Thanks, and a tip of a very cold Manhattan, to the sisters.

Edit to add:
Was going to say someone would write a history and looked at wiki.

My earliest memories must have been of the Cockettes rather than the Sisters.
