Lager-loving punk who dresses as a dominatrix is appointed village Anglican curate


Some days she strides up to church wearing hot pants and biker boots. Or she might opt for dominatrix-style red leather high heels to go with her six piercings including a nose stud.

Not the apparel you would normally expect from a Church of England curate.

But punk rocker Skye Denno insists it is her way of serving God.

Miss Denno, 29, who admits to a taste for lager and the Sex Pistols, is two weeks into her appointment as curate at the Church of St James the Great in Dursley, Gloucestershire.
'It's been great,' she said. 'My clothes and how I look haven't been a problem.

Sad...

And, if you read the whole article you'll find this:

I laugh because I actually know her and this newspaper has twisted the story completely!

She's the kindest, most Jesus-like person I know. Her dress sense has influences from goth and punk, but she certainly doesn't dress as a dominatrix or in hot pants!

And even though this article uses the word "partner" she and Joel have been married for 9 years.

It just goes to show you can't believe everything you read.
