Every type of Jesus came out for the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence's Hunky Jesus Contest. Everyone from naked Jesus to Sweet Baby Jesus competed in the annual ode to Christ's erotic side. (OK, the baby was not celebrating Jesus' sexy side, but the others sure were!)

The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence's HARE at Dolores Park: It wouldn't be Easter without the Hunky Jesus and Easter Bonnet Contests along with all the other fabulous tongue-in-cheek activities put on by San Francisco's beloved Sisters. There's something for all ages at Dolores Park on Sunday.

Yesterday's contests didn't quite draw the crowds that they would have had it been a lovely spring day in Dolores Park. But the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence moved the show over to the Eureka Rec Center, and some very slutty Jesuses (not to mention some drag queens in some inventive Easter hats) battled it out as they do every year. Not many people have been quick on the upload from yesterday's gathering, but we'll supplement this gallery as more pics appear.

BYOBW: Bring Your Own Big Wheel Race (Photos)
Originally held on Lombard Street, the BYOBW (Bring Your Own Big Wheel) Race has since moved to the somewhat more (or less?) twisty terrain on Potrero Hill at Vermont and 20th streets. This weekend, daredevils came in droves with their own Big Wheel or fun-size riding device (e.g., an office chair) to plunge down one of San Francisco's steepest hills. Here are some images from Sunday's breathtaking race. Enjoy.
Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence: San Francisco Bus Tour, 4/11
The Sisters of Perpetual (over 200 of them!) are all over town this weekend. Thank God. On Friday, the nuns had a 30th birthday party at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.
The 4th Annual Bad Bunny Pub Hop
What better way to celebrate Good Friday than be getting good and smashed. And tonight's fourth annual Easter themed bar crawl, the Bad Bunny Bar Crawl, will do the trick. While you should try dressing up like a bunny, rabbit attire isn't required to have a festive night. What is required is a strong liver and a desire to start off the holiday weekend early.

October 30. OK, well; October 30, 1988. At least according to the movie Donnie Darko.

Happy Easter (and Other Non-denominational Good Tidings)
Have a fun, festive, and frivolous Sunday on this, the day of resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. (Or not.) Be sure to hit up the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence's party in Dolores Park. Those wacky girls have a Best Bonnet Contest (1 p.m.), a Hunky Jesus Competition (3 p.m.), music, mayhem, and much more. A sun-drenched San Francisco tradition not to be missed. free
