Mum was a geisha!

...just for an evening. And not a professional. But as you can see, she had the rare opportunity to dress up as one. Thoughtfully directed and styled by a small group of the authentic geisha girls who worked at the high end establishment that my parents where invited to for a special business dinner in the early 1970’s, not long after we moved there to live. The girls there were captivated by her natural beauty and although she can’t recall exactly how it came about, she was invited into their private and oppulent dressing room and briefly adopted as one of their own. My Dad, beside her is obviously thrilled and elated. It was one of the first of many exotic and unique opportunities that was afforded our family in this mysterious new land.
