The mic. Just weird.

Remember Andrea Martin’s impersonation of Indira Gandhi on the old “SCTV” show?
You know what else is weird – the Rosary-prop she has. “How do we make this costume more Catholic?” asked the stage director to the prop-master. “I know – we’ll have her ALWAYS have a Rosary wrapped around her hand!” “That’s brilliant!” said the director “Someday you’ll do the costume design for “Pope Saint JP II – The Great!”
This Mother Teresa must have been dipped in a vat of winkle remover.
Just requires a bit of suspension of disbelief. Maybe a whole lot. More so on the wrinkles than on the mic. And don’t they have wireless lapel mics for that? Boom mics are kind of distracting.
I just had a visual of Mother Theresa performing a liturgical dance —- must get more sleep.
I thought Mother T actually did have a rosary in her hand all the time.
Well she probably did have a Rosary in her hand. Just seems odd in this photo… contrived… cheap… weird…
am I cranky?
Maybe it is strange that the actress is not holding the Rosary in her fingers, as one who prays it does.
I’d also think it’s a little odd and inattentive to let the crucifix dangle, but maybe that’s just my preference (to not do so).
