It actually was like a really good business idea but we had to close down the voodoo doll massage parlor after one of our clients left and we forgot that their doll was still activated (the light was off so it seemed off) and we threw it in the trash which made our client fly off of a cliff IRL really tanked our safety rating with the city planning community and the witches booreau. But other than that nothing but great reviews on Yelp

Hi Geimaiko! Could I ask a comprehensive list of the types of Kanzashi a Tayu has? Im having a particular problem finding the name of the Bonten Kanzashi that has some birabira/tail on it... I know other decorative kanzashi fall under the maezashi category though! Also it seems that the 6 additional bekko kanzashi on the backs of both Oiran and Tayu are only worn during the dochu, other old photos of them in an ochaya excludes it as is common today. The photo below is an onna genroku with the added fan kanzashi.... what is that weaved pattern though? Kikugawa Tayu uses a cloth while Kisaragi Tayu uses agolden cord to tie that topknot...

Hello again @bahandingbulawan

Thank you for the ask. I think a comprehensive list on Tayuu kanzashi is definitely a great idea though it needs the appropriate amount of research and time. I find kanzashi specially interesting for their symbolism so i would love to go into that one day.

Bonten with Birabira attached you say? I don't really know if i have ever noticed that. Maybe you could provide a pic?

Sadly i don't know about the "basket" like strip but i do remember having wondered about it before. It's very unique. Though i do know that the checkered Ichimatsu pattern is strongly linked to the Genroku styles. The two colored checkered pattern has been used for way longer but it must have been very widespread during the Genroku period (1688 - 1704) and was popularized by Kabuki's Ichimatsu Sanogawa (佐野川市松; 1722 – 1762) in plays set that time:

Toshusai Sharaku - Woodblock print ca. 1794-1795

The Actor Sanogawa Ichimatsu I performing the spear dance - Torii Kiyohiro, 1751–1761

So maybe this Tayuu was going for maximum Genroku-ness. Sadly i don't really know if it has a specific name (i mean it probably has) and what it might be. If anyone wants to chime in, please feel free!

Thank you for the ask! Stay safe out there.

Several times on here I've seen the take "I know local theater is bad and cringey, but you have to support it anyway!" And while I understand what they're getting at, I'm always like, why do you assume it's going to be "bad" just because the artists are members of your own community? I just saw a local production of The Importance of Being Earnest and it was HILARIOUS. Everyone was DELIGHTFULLY funny and we thoroughly enjoyed it! There have been so many times I've been greatly moved by "amateur" or student art, and if you can't allow yourself to appreciate anything but "the Best" (and who decides what "the Best" is anyway? This production of "Earnest" was way funnier than the version that Judy Dench and Rupert Everett were in, as deservedly "famous" as they might be) then you are just being a joyless snob. There's beauty and talent all around you. And if that makes me "easy to please," then well... That means I'm pleased more often! And why should I want to apologize for that?

#i didnt really give a fuck about the legally blonde musical but my university performed it and it was fucking fantastic #like i know thats university so its made of people specifically studying theatre but thats still amateur

erika kirk being handed the golden opportunity to be the face of conservatives for the rest of her life and then fumbling it instantly by being genuinely unlikable and off-putting will always be funny to me almost as funny as remembering that charlie kirk got shot in the neck and died

remember when sisters/twins was the reasonable first guess and then people acted like you were stupid and evil if you didnt think they were lesbian lovers and now one of the actresses confirms theyre sisters people are like Oh. like. hello
