Hit me with your best Egyptian pun

I need a punny name for a group of women that is somehow tied to ancient Egypt. Something along the lines of "Midlife Isis" or "Scrolling in the Deep" (those are not awesome examples, hence why I'm asking this question). This is related to Mardi Gras, but nothing profane or too sexual. Pop-culture, drinking, song references, etc. are ok. Help!

[Too bad it's not dudes, the Pyramid of Geezers would be so very good.]
I like Queens of the Nile, nice and simple.

Sorry, didn't notice that Queens of the Nile had already been suggested.

Sphinx Minxes
Twisted Sphinxters
D' Ankh Memes
Sphinx and Spanx (especially if you wanted to incorporate some costume effects)
Whatever you do, you should have a trailing retinue of at least one of these guys, so you can say "I'm gonna take my Horus to the Old Town (or Aswan) road" and "I have the Horus in the back ..."

Oh, I also thought of "Bastet Cases" because who doesn't love the cat goddess?, but it's probably too opaque / tortured.
