Beautiful restoration Martin! But it pains me seeing these girls deprived of their individuality. With celebrities nun's stories I associate Audrey Hepburn. Audrey personifies grace and honesty, Madonna vulgarity and hypocrisy, to me she the opposite of a nun.

Brings back fond memories, as in 1954 I chosen to be dressed in a nuns habit in Catholic school similar to this picture!
