"Sister Milindia" Hustles For Change In Little Italy


During the day she is "Sister Milindia", a mild-mannered Episcopal "nun" asking for donations for "the children's of St. Joseph's".  And by night she is Mindy LeGrand, 54, a two-bit street hustler who uses these donations to buy bootleg DVDs and fund trips to Atlantic City.


Yesterday's New York Post ran the hard-hitting expose on yesterday's cover, calling LeGrand "The Lying Nun"..
After five hours of begging, Sister Milindia called it quits.
At 6:30 p.m., she bought some bootleg DVDs outside a pharmacy and caught the Brooklyn-bound Q train at Canal Street.
During the ride, she tried peddling vials of perfume to a female straphanger, who turned her down.
She got off at Avenue J/Kings Highway, where, cigarette dangling from her lips, she disrobed on the street.
After buying a sandwich, canned pasta and a bottle of water, she took a bus to Linden Boulevard in East New York, lit another cigarette and rang the bell at 714 Jerome St., a rundown brick house with garbage strewn across its front yard.
A hulking man emerged, gave her a bear hug and whacked her lustily on the behind.

A boy who answered the door there two days later said she had gone to Atlantic City.

First of all, "Milindia" is the name of a pole-dancer who works the day shift in Atlantic City, not the name of a nun.  Mindy needs to step up her game...
