When In Kyoto....

In 2005, Memoirs of A Geisha came out. I had just read the book, and as an impressionable 15 year old, obviously I was swept away by the love story. I found the movie to be heinously shitty. However Colleen Atwood, who is a bomb costume designer, did an excellent job dressing the stars.

GONG LI who played Hatsumomo is HOT SHIT!!

Atwood eventually won the Academy Award for best costume design.

Obviously, when we arrived in Kyoto, geisha capital of the world, we needed to dress the part.

In order to get the full experience we smoked opium and entertained a couple of business men.

You think I'm kidding. If Maya's mom is reading, I am.
