With all due respect, you are not a geisha, you are not a Russian geisha, you are not any kind of geisha at all. Having met a former geisha does not make you one, and any geisha would tell you that, and be horrified that you are telling people that you trained as a geisha.
So why don't you have some respect for geisha and stop using the name? You really should not be talking about geisha to publications like Playboy as if you are an expert. It is really very offensive to these highly skilled artisans for you to be doing that. So please do change your name to Russian Hostess or to something more accurate.
You should change your name to chicken! chicken with small ch! This is would be very accurate for you!!!! And I can tell again, that you have no idea bout Geisha's! Because if you would, you would be right there in Japan, with a Geisha, right now! Maybe married to one. But I understand, only very special people can afford it.
But I'm really happy that you participating in the life of "Russian geisha"! Please come again! With your new wonderful comments!
