Coming Saturday I will be a "geisha" at the opening of a friend of mine. Of course I will only look like a geisha and stand there smiling haha. Since it was a long time ago I was dressed in kimono and even longer that I put on the full make-up I decided on a practice evening.
Here are the pictures... First I had to put on the bintsuke abura, which feels kind of yucky. Then the oshiroi, which makes your skin feel very dry, but its really truly beautiful white white. The hint of purplish blue is the “wig-cap” Isn’t it cute? I love it. Then, after putting on the black and red I wrapped a nagajuban on and quickly put my new ume blossom susohiki over it, of which I have no proper pictures… wait until March then I’ll try this kimono again.
And last I had to try on my newest uchikake, she’s so shiny it’s almost too much, well… it is to much, but I think she’s gorgeous!
A good friend, whom I have known since I was a little girl asked me if I wanted to be present at his opening in full geisha outfit. I love dressing up, so how could I say no. Of course I think it is scary to dress up like this and show to so many people, but it is fun too... And because I looked so pretty I was allowed to meet the "king" No not really, he was a make believe king for the kids, 
because there was a street party going on too and there was a painting competition for the kids, it was fun.
