@Lilnaomi3 : I was more referring to the Nightinggale droppings (with the mixed up comment).
-
@plasticmodels No, I didn't. The stuff I use is made of rice. You can purchase it on basic online stores and even on taobao(if you want a less pure version). I have actually found it at a couple of Ultas and some goth boutiques. This is new product with expiration dates on it and they are imported from Japan.

@Lilnaomi3 : You got your facts mixed up. It's regular make-up ingredients, in the old times they used rice, millet, lead or mercury. Nightinggale droppings were (and are) used for skin care. You apply it to your face and wash it off after a while, but it has nothing to do with the face paint.

@JABBERWACKIN most likely it is rice that has been pressed and processed but traditionally it was nightinggale droppings.

Leave it to americans to completely fuck up and give bad reputations to beautiful cultures

To the trained eye, I can tell this maiko is a henshin. Maiko are always busy and they won't be walking around leisurely like the tourists do, and they won't have professional photographers following them because they also know how to spot them.
But henshin can go where the maiko can't because since they are busy. So I see it as a sort of advertisement.
If I ever dressed up as a maiko, I would get every last detail correct before walking around Kyoto. That's how much respect I hold for them.

Why should the costume be off limits? It is only silk, make-up, and a wig. It is not a person claiming to be something they aren't.
You must find Halloween a particularly offensive holiday. All those fake doctors and astronauts and fashion models... how dare they taint the profession so many other people legitimately worked at! Am I right? ;)
Seriously, it is silly to say a certain make-up or clothing style is limited to one type of person and forbidden to all others.

it's true that a lot of work goes into being a geisha, that maikos and geishas wear their kimonos and make up with pride but it is absolutely incorrect and quite unfair of you to say that a regular person wearing the clothes and make up is synonymous to tainting the art of being a geisha.
if anything, the local (or non local) tourists who go through the make over are celebrating the culture by expressing interest in it and by experiencing it no matter how far removed.
