So my friend had an early Halloween party - and the day before, I decided, "I have a kimono, I'll be geisha." I took as quick a trip as is possible to Pearl River Mart, the mecca in NYC for all things Asian, and picked up a fan, a parasol, decorative hairpins, tabi (the split toe socks), and some wooden flip-flop shoes from another store nearby. Tons of white pancake makeup, rice powder, 22 bobby pins, a cut-up paper towel roll, thick layer of hairspray and two hours later, I figure it's passable enough for a gaijin with 24 hours of inspiration!

Oh Megan, y ou certainly look the part here ;o)

aren't you cute!


I read somewhere that they are making/made a movie based off the book. Which I finished on my flight home a few months ago.

Now lace up the gloves.:D
Looks like you had fun Megan.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!
I hope you were able to get all of that make up off!
Brian

Thanks for looking everyone. I'm going to reprise the role again tonight, then maybe even tomorrow for the Halloween Parade if I'm that inspired.

And Brian - baby shampoo takes even the most caked-on make up off!
