But then I wore a mantilla, and much to my shock, no one cared. Not a single eyelash was batted or a tongue clucked. The ground did not open and swallow my hypocritical, how dare she, heathen soul. The mass went on. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s really why we don\u2019t wear them, right? Because they are fussy and imply of the wearer a pretense of piety, that may or may not exist. And we\u2019re all about \u201ckeeping it real\u201d because being a hypocrite is the worst thing in the world to be, next to being a racist that is. So I\u2019ve been keeping it real at mass, in my jeans and bare head, instead of getting over myself and my fear that everyone is staring at me. Which they aren\u2019t, because no one cares. Imagine that. Wearing a mantilla for mass was much less of a big deal than I anticipated. I don\u2019t know why I was making such a fuss, really. Silly, self absorbed thing that I am. <\/p>\n
