First captivated by the Onion's photo essay entitled, The 8 Worst-Dressed at the Papal Conclave, I was then mesmerized by a fleeting couple of images shown during the pope's first prayer during his first public address. Perhaps the cameraman closed his eyes and incidentally focused the lens upon the back of the elite at the vatican window. Why this set of images didn't get any media play, is beyond me.
Note: Little signs of the new pope's personal styling choices include his decision to appear on the balcony of St.
Peter’s Basilica without the red mozzetta — the telltale short cape of
the papacy.
For more on the stylings of the patriarch and his compatriots, check out the Style Page in the Catholic Register.
And for more fun with the kids, try out these vestments for your papal dolls!
Do you wonder whether we'll see this puppy (the Papal Tiara) pulled out for special occasions during Pope Francis' casual reign? I'm kind of doubting it.

I would really like to get those papal paper people!
Perhaps available in Pope Leo, Pope Gregory, and, just released, Pope Francis.
