suijin is a famous Geisha in GuangDong

I lost a lot of business when my melons slipped out from my blouse.

They just do traditional and artistic dancing for you, Depends on what kind of Geisha though wether or not they sleep with you afterwards.

Ya my friend was trying to explain it to me earlier but he's the same one who thought Korea was a province of China so I'm going to assume everything he said was wrong. Since he didn't even see the movie anyway...

yeah its more like courtesans. they are trained in poetry, art (painting, etc), musical instruments, dances, ceremonies, songs.

but there are different levels of a geisha.

And I believe they only serve ppl with lots of $$$$ 2

yes thats true.

They're kind of relics today. Geisha today are really preserving tradition, rather than focusing mainly on entertainment.

Geisha, means person of the arts or artist, are traditional Japanese artist-entertainers. In Japan they use the word Geiko to refer such those persons.
In the 18th and 19th centuries Geisha could be seen everywhere and it still exists until today but a lot dwindling.

Geisha of Japan is just like speakers in English but Geisha also carried connotations of prostitution, some young Japanese women faced finance shortage so they sold themselves to American troops for money.

History of Geisha

HAHAHA OMG u guys never seize to amaze me

They use the word Geisha everywhere else in Japan except Kyoto, where they have that funky dialect.

I've rummaged some pictures up

the flowers in the hair is pretty


i see this painting a lot

they are japanese equivalent of 18th and 19th century european "courtesans"

for me the worst thing of geisha is their face painting.
never like it.

beijing opera is like that too. they paint their faces white.

east asian people seem to be fascinated with white skin.

your avatar looks freaky. i liked the rockstar avatar you had earlier much better

you like my sig? I love chinese lanterns. they make me feel happy

geisha are not prostitutes. geisha tie the obi in the back the prostitutues tie the obi in the front, so that they can tie and untie it more than once in a night. geisha might have sex with men but they dont do it everynight and they have one man generally. they are artisans who are keeping a rapidly dying culture alive a culture dying due to technology and western influence.

Never really understood the fascination with white skin....
