Who wants to be a Virgin?

Eleven Virgins on the march in Cologne

After years of high level and at times tense negotiations, I'm please to announce that I am now a Virgin, the first of my kind in Australia.

The "Elf Jungfrauen" or "Eleven Virgins" are a bizarre cult based somewhere in the woods outside Cologne, Germany. For almost forty years, this small group of eccentric Germans have come out to play at carnival, donning their capes, gowns and trademark blonde wigs. What does it all mean? Sadly, nothing at all. If you look closely enough though, you can see Virgin Dirk in the middle.

I'm now looking forward to taking my place in the march in Cologne in February every year. Who's in?
