THAT "BEST DRESSED RELIGION AWARD" IN FULL
We sent wreckered 's very own party girl Seonaid Divine to New York last week for the star studded Best Dressed Religion Awards ceremony. Here is her exclusive report..

By the time you read this you'll probably know that the Nation of Islam scooped first place in the Best Dressed Religion Awards. But who were the other winners and losers of the evening ?

Hassidic Jews came a close second for their distinctive black and white formality softened by casual unbuttoned jackets and stringy hair bangs. Judge Trudi Smith said, "This is a classic look and might have won first place but for the Nation of Islam's daring use of the bow tie."

In third place, impressing the judges with the combination of vivid colour and flowing robes, the Buddhist Monks. Steve McQueen, bad boy of British fashion, is a fan of the Buddhist look. "It is timeless yet futuristic - but rooted in the past. And that trademark orange colour is like a signal of protest against Guantanamo Bay. Mindblowing."

A mixed night for the Catholics was brightened by a special commendation to the Catholic Church for its use of robes. Said Trudi Smith "Nobody does robes quite like the Catholics. Their use of bold fabrics and gold trim is nothing short of inspirational - which is what you want from a religion." The shock of the evening was the panel's unanimous dismissal of cardinals. London fashion icon designer guru Oswald Boetang echoed the panel's view, "We felt that cardinals could be making more of a statement other than that "look at me - I'm all dressed in red with a mad hat" sort of thing".

However, there was one more moment of succour for the Catholics when Holy Stick of the Year went to the Pope for his distinctive silver and gold sceptre featuring brass and ruby inlay. Unable to attend the event, the Pope sent a video message expressing his thanks for the award and blessing all those who voted for his holy stick. Speaking in English and Italian, a clearly delighted Pope said "This award is for all the Catholics who have worked so hard over the last twelve months."

The party went on till the wee hours with the great and the good of many nations enjoying the wine, wafers and the special foot-high profiteroles which were designed especially for the event by Nick Nairn and Jean Paul Gaultier. Highlight of the night was a display by the Nation of Islam's Cheerleader Army, whose scantily clad lockers and breakers wowed the guests with a combination of synchronised marching, body poppping and martial arts. I particularly enjoyed the US Evangelists who visited every table and spoke in tongues and shook snakes at a lucky few. Later, a number of guests including myself, three priests, a wreckered photographer and a shaman from the Ivory Coast blagged our way into New York's exclusive Heaven 24 nightclub where the dancing continued until 5am.

GOD HELPED ME LOSE 100 LBS
Housewife Janet Smillie told how God helped her lose 100 lbs in four days. The 29 yr old mother of two prayed to the Lord every night for a month in the hope that divine intervention could help her fit into this season's fashions. Said blonde Janet , "I've never been religious before, but since the lord God made me svelte, I've been praising His name everywhere I go." The delighted weight-loser has been on a paper wafer diet for three months and told wreckered, "Gluttony is one of the seven deadly sins. God told me that people who arrive at the gates of heaven are routinely searched for biscuits and other snacks. The guzzling dead have their snacks confiscated and are ordered to the back of the queue."
