ObscureAngel said:to me its the way they carry themselvs and all the training that they go through just to entertain drunk men.
Duo said:I think they look really ugly, how they were considered sex godesses is beyond my comprehension. The fat one especially
ashuri2 said:i think they're beautiful in a sense that's not completely physical. they weren't for sex, but they could so accomplished in conversation and music, and they were so etheral and embodied the ancient japanese ideal of feminine beauty.
and i love the kimonos and their hairstyles, though i admit the white make-up is kinda intersting in that it emphasizes the eyes and lips and the fabric of the kimono, but it also kinda reminds me of a blank canvas on which the customer could write his own desires or whatever...
As far as I know, geisha popularity has descreased to the point that some westerners, who would not be close to being called 'wealthy', employ the few remaining 'geisha for hire'... Unless things have changed since the few years ago that I had seen the documentary on the scant few younger woman who were employed as geisha...nurizeko said:No poxy little joe-public can afford an evening with a geisha keeping him and his friends company at the drinks/lunch table.
...we wont have any more proffesional prostitutes trained in pleasing men in all manners. Too bad we will get rid of a symbol that treats women as mere objects for the pleasure of men. Yeah so sad actually, 90 of them left, buhuhuh, im gona cry a river, i hope they are still around in japan next time i go around so that they can play tunes and act in front of me when all i need really is just sm good seuxal relaxation. AT least cheap hostess ladies are not faking who they are! A geisha is the same, just only pretends to be more high class, like that stereotypical french ***** who stinks but puts a lot of parfume on to smell nice. yeah Women ar Women, ugly and beautiful, so why not accept them for who they are, why make them still live up to sm aracheic and stupid standard.
Memoirs of a Geisha/Sayuri was pretty to look at, but it wasn't that great of a geisha movie--- I'm not sure if had it been more authentic that it would have been more interesting to me, but it was more like a modern love story wedged into a pseudo-geisha theme with a good deal of characters who awkwardly bounced back and forth between their real accents and a sort of forced fake Japanese accent---
