Trying To Get It Right:

I haven’t dressed for Halloween in years, it hasn’t really been my thing. But when I received a text from my niece inviting me to her daughter Victoria’s 10th birthday celebration I couldn’t resist. Especially since the party fell on Halloween.

So I arrive, fashionably late, to house full of screaming, bouncing-off-the-walls 10ish year olds, some even younger. The house was filled with so much estrogen it nearly cured my premature hot flashes! Lol.

Based on the response I received I gather my Geisha outfit was a hit. And an easy choice since a have a veritable plethora of authentic silk Kimonos, cotton Yukatas and several pair of Gettas and Toris. Since this was a casual affair I did wave off tying the Nagoya Obi sash– they take quite a bit of doing to tie. I mean I was in the mood to play dress up but not that much of a mood! So I choose a tsukuri obi, much easier.

We had a fab time…and I even enjoyed playing Geisha for a couple of hours. Although I will admit, I was eager to get home and wash the makeup off!
