Hello! My name’s Sister Goldie Grrr (three R’s) and I’m from Kansas City, born and raised! I’ve been a part of the City of Fountains Sisters since May of 2016, Novice Sister since November of 2016, and Fully Professed since October of 2019. I hope to work with my Sister’s to create a community that’s open, accepting, and fun for everyone, regardless of gender, sexuality, race, class, or ability.

Please meet Sister CupKake. “She’s delicious…” Grover, as he is known in general, has been involved in female impersonation for over 25 years in the KC area. Grover decided he wanted to do more for his community and looked for an outlet where he could be both creative and make a difference. The CoFS was just the right mix and CupKake was born. CupKake holds the office of Mistress of the Quill (secretary) for the house. Grover is an insurance professional with 20 + years of supervisory and leadership experience. He enjoys merging his administrative skills and his entertaining talents for the betterment of the house, the community, and other LGBTQIA+ causes. When not manifested, he is a “father” of 3 furchildren and an AVID Transformers collector/enthusiast.

Hunny was born and raised in San Jose, California where she first saw the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence in San Francisco in 2007. When she saw the gorgeous people in fantastic costumes doing good work and spreading Joy across the city, she knew what she wanted to do with her life: be loud, be proud, and be herself. After moving to Kansas City, Missouri in 2011, she thought she would never see the Sisters ever again. A meeting of fate occurred, however, during the Trump Inaugural protest when she met the City of Fountains Sisters and knew this was her chance. She became a Postulant Sister in May of 2017 and a Novice Sister in December 2017. Most of her work surrounds LGBTQAI+ youth, Suicide Prevention, transgender rights, LGBTQAI+ people of color issues, and LGBTQAI+ health awareness.

She is Sister Leia Organza, of the Kansas City Organzas – The Lone Family of Sacred Textiles and Bulge Admiration. Leia grew up the awkward nerd, born into a devout Christian family from which her only escape was her love for Star Wars and a few close childhood friends. Growing into a man wasn’t easy; family urged her to marry a woman and grow the family. A young gay man raised in a system that taught feelings towards another man would sentence you to damnation was its own kind of hell, and Leia spent much of it loathing who she was but knowing she could never change it. Years passed before she could truly express herself. But coming out was the greatest thing she ever accomplished, taking a stand and saying, “This is who I am and there’s not a damn thing wrong with me!” She have since turned her passion of garment construction to serve as the Mistress of the Stitch for the City Of Fountains Sisters, House of Glamour and Truth. Alongside her sisters and guards, her voice in the Bible Belt of America encourages those in a situation similar to her own, there’s nothing wrong being who they are. No man, in Heaven, Hell, or on Earth can tell you any different. Stay strong and never mess with a princess.

PARLIAMENTARIAN Once upon a time in a land not so far away, right here in Kansas City in fact there was born a small child that would one day grow into the big nun with a bigger name Sister FloraFauna Anne Merryweather, Flora for short. Flora has been on many epic quests in service of the community over the years and has a passion for spreading love. With their love of service, traditions and clowns their discovery of the Sisters was only a mater of time. After getting pelted with candy hurled by a sister at a show they knew they had to get one of those veils. The journey wasn’t without a few trials and tribulations but Sister Flora is proud to be a Fully Professed member of the City of Fountains house. Flora believes that everyone is the hero of their own tale, and is eager to help others on their path however possible. True love isn’t just for Fairy Tales and takes many shapes. Sister Flora is a sucker for traditions and can most often be found in a traditional nun’s habit as a symbol of service to the community and a reminder of those that have come before. The clown face reminds us of the role of the sacred clown Flora tries to embody and to never take one’s self too seriously. When not in face or volunteering Flora can be found curling up with a good book, or watching a Disney movie. Usually with a handcrafted cocktail (or three). You are all loved and worthy. I can’t wait to meet everyone that reads this and share in your stories. More Love Always!

I chose Lemonade Phoenix as my name because I am always having to make Lemonade from this sour life and refuse to let its fire destroy me. You can’t make Lemonade though from lemons alone, you gotta be the sweetness that transforms it. And that’s me, sweet and tart and full of fire!

Lemonade Phoenix is a local visual artist in KC: painter, cake decorator, costume maker, performance artist. She keeps her hands busy to keep her mind still. She first heard of the Sisters through her friend Sister Hunny Bunches of Oaths. So inspired by Hunny’s stories of the Sisters’ community activism and theatrical creativity, she had to check them out for herself.

“From my first meet and greet to every experience I have had after with the Sisters, I have never met a community of individuals so loving and accepting. I want to be that love to the world, I want to give that gift to everyone. It truly feels like a divine calling, promulgating universal joy and expiating stigmatic guilt, fighting tirelessly and courageously for equality through our many forms of creative expression and activism.”

Sonata Topp. Sonata Bottom. Sonata ‘fraid of no ghosts.

Sonata’s life has taken her across the nation, born on the west coast, teen years in the midwest, majority of adult life on the east coast. She has seen and met all kinds of people. During her travels there has always been something missing from her life, but it wasn’t until she saw the Orlando Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence that she knew what it was…She was missing glitter and glamour, community and belonging.

As with anyone she went through a dark time in her life, and the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence were a blazing beacon in the darkness. From then on she knew that she wanted to be that beacon of hope for those trapped in the darkness. So she took up the habit and met some of the most amazing people she could have ever hoped to meet. They taught her how to paint and how to not take yourself so seriously that you forget one of life’s greatest gifts…FUN. She began to spread her fully professed wings in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic and learned how to cater to the community both in person and virtually to bring a sense of fun to the world in a time where it was most desperately needed.

After a time she decided to spread her wings and move back to Kansas City where she was able to meet more of her sacred sisters and continue to be a beacon of positivity and compassion to her new community.

On a final note: continue to be strong, continue to be compassionate, continue to reach for the Topp, and never be afraid of no ghosts.

Life started in rural southern Missouri, and I was brought up with the most proper of conservative Christian upbringings. I developed a love for the stage via the local community theater and used that to escape the horrors of living a shame driven repressed life. In college I finally accepted my truth of being gay and traded out the theatric stage for the drag club stage and began dabbling with heavier makeup, higher hair, and all the vintage sequin dresses I could get my hands on. I first met the sisters through competing in pageants, and the City of Fountains Sisters would start the night off with a blessing at the competitions. So here I am, following the ever changing path in life, eager to use my art and my talents to spread joy, love, and hugs. Greetings and salutations from Sister Cheez Whiz Fabulous, the fondu for you.

A few years ago, I was afraid to go out to events because I was entirely new to the community. I didn’t know who I was, or what (and who) I liked. Then I met the Sisters. Whenever I went to events, I knew that if they were there, I was in a safe place. And that’s what I want to do with the Sisters. I want people to feel welcome in their own community. I want people to feel safe and to feel wanted. I want to be the face in the crowd that someone knows that if they don’t feel safe, or if they’re scared, they can come up to. Outside of events and helping the community, I love to sew all sorts of things; from special projects and alterations for people, to quilt blocks, to stuffed animals and muppets. I’m a huge theatre fan and went to college to obtain a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre and Cinema. If you’re out and about, walk up and talk to us!

Reach out, share your truth. Tell someone this is who I am, this is what I stand for. I was raised in a devote conservative Christian home. As young teenager I knew I was different and struggled with my sexuality. I knew if the church found out my “truth” I would never be accepted. When I was 21 years old, I tried to follow my personal truth. I came out and was met with great societal resistance from my family and church. I was told that if I choose this lifestyle, I would never find happiness, never be successful, and I would bring shame to my family and church. For 19 years I lived a lie. I experienced the heart ache of degradation and humiliation. Doing the “proper” thing, I married, and ordained in the church. Though this time was suffocating, I began to grow and strengthen as a person. It’s all in how you look at your greatest trail in life. I became a father and learned how to love unconditionally. I slowly began to accept ME, fight for my happiness and not hide or apologize for who I am. At 40 I realized I could not live a lie anymore. I finally faced my fears of rejection and told the world “I know my truth. This is who I am, and this is what I stand for.” Today, I live my life with no regrets. I have and amazing son, daughter-in-law and grandson who love and accept my truth. My family has come to respect me and my beliefs. I found happiness, love and a successfully career. The freedom of being true to myself is liberating. I truly can say I love being the true me. The 40 years of emptiness is now filled with love, joy, and happiness. As a Sister I hope through my experience, with kindness and joy, I can inspire others to find their truth. I want to devote myself to community service, promoting human rights, respecting both diversity and spiritual enlightenment. I’Gnomee Truth, let me help you find yours.

After spending years devoted to the education and determination making sure that my 2 sons become men of acceptance , empathy for all peoples journey has brought me to this newest path. Teaching the next generation where we come from and what we can do to keep our communities rights is my internal passion. Steadfast we must keep our goals in sight, never to waver never give up. “Destiny is a curious thing. It doesn’t always take us where we want to go, and many times it ends up taking us to an unexpected place where we feel confused, lost, with no idea where to go next. These are complicated and painful moments that make us suffer and question who we are, along with what we want the most in our lives. But if we really make the effort to see these challenges as opportunities to find ourselves, we will understand that it was exactly what we needed to discover and strengthen our role on this planet.” -Ricky Martin-

I’m Sister Amethyst Rose. (She/They) I joined the COFS in late 2018. My first exposure to the Sisters was Easter 2018 and then again during PrideFest 2018. I’ve always wanted be apart of helping the LGBTQ+ community and when I heard about the City of Fountains Sisters, I was hooked. Life for me was strange growing up. I didn’t know who I was, I just knew I was very different than what society was telling me I should be. I’ve learned now, that I am a Trans Non-Binary person and love myself as I am. My goals as a Sister is to get rid of stigmas that surround the LGBTQ+ community as well as help younger LGBTQ+ youth feel safe and help them understand themselves and who they are, is valid. Also, keeping our Trans & Enby friends safe and spreading knowledge to those who are not as knowledgeable about trans identities. Remember friends, Silence is Violence, Black Lives Matter/Black Trans Lives Matter and always speak up for those who feel, they don’t have a voice.

MASTER OF THE QUILL WEB COMMITTEE A St. Louis native (GO CARDINALS….sorry not sorry) Kansas City became my home after my second relocation by the company I had worked for since high school. When I left that company in August 2018, I fell into a funk. My roommate, Sister Cheez Whiz Fabulous, noticed this and introduced me to the sisters. Thanks to all of them, I was able to get out of a pretty dark place in my life. I couldn’t help but sign up after that in the hope that I could bring the joy to someone that they brought to me when I needed it most. When I’m not guarding my sisters you can usually catch me at a trivia night, kickboxing (always hitting bags never people), or running so I can participate in my absolute favorite hobby, binge eating potato chips and peanut butter M&Ms. Come find me and let’s talk about 80s and 90s pop culture, how amazing Serena Williams and Roger Federer are, or quote 30 Rock and Parks and Rec. A big HALLO to you from Guard Dieter Schnitzel!!! Guard Dieter’s Elevation to Fully Professed

A native Kansas Citian with roots in communities all over the place, Novice Sister Morrígan has been shapeshifting since she was little. Inspired by her family of first responders, she has spent her performance career asking the question: “How can I help?” She joined the Sisters with that goal. To help. Whether it’s social distance dancing with the community during lockdown, or performing for charities across the city, she hopes that our community’s response to our humans in need only continues to grow. When you ask what she wants out of life, the easiest response is: “MORE. AGAIN AND AGAIN”. May you all be blessed in seeking your MORES AND AGAINS, and may your shapes shift to help you find it. Xoxo Novice Sister Morrígan Anne Agín

Novice Guard Jack was born to carnies and juggling by age 3. His bottomless pockets are full of tricks, treats, and probably nuggets. He has the heart of a raccoon and the scream of a rubber chicken. All goblin, all the time.
