Another Day...

Just some more randoms from today to show you :)

This was actually from two days ago. Ari pointed out that this guy's bellybutton totally looks like a third nipple -- and it does!

A ridiculous tree I found in the middle of nowhere! It's a bit gruesome >_< This one kind of makes me think that the center of the obi is really my spine -- reminds me of a ham bone or something XD;..


We took a soak in the onsen:
Me looking, to use Meimi's words, "chill."

The Thinker.

Looking un-enthused.

Emo? I was just seeing what all the poses looked like -- they've improved since the last time we've visited the onsen :D

All the girls!

Meimi, camming somewhere, not knowing I was taking such an unflattering picture.

....No words. This says it all.

Stephy and me :D

Sitting in the magical cave that Meimi found!

Stephy and I again...yeah.

Badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger....

badger, badger, badger, badger, musshRROOOM MUSSSHRROOOOM!

snnnaaaaaAAAKKKEEEEE, sssnnnaaAAAAKKKKEEEE....

Oh, It's a snaaaaake!


Yeah...it's special. Good thing I had those glitch pants on :P

The Path of an Artist - IV

After a long absence from activities at the okiya, Okaasan encouraged me to do a performance. And this time, I wouldn't be musician. I really don't know why I get so nervous over something so simple as telling a story, but I suppose that shows I care. I found out that the performances that I played musician on do not count to my requirements, so I am at square one with that. But now that I have my first performance out of the way, I feel rededicated to the okiya. It was fun! This performance will be quite memorable, and it will be a story I will most definitely share with my future imouto, should I reach that stage in my career.

My First Performance - Asagao - March 28, 2009

Guests:

My dear friends Ella, and Ari...Ari's the furry one. Oh wait, Ella's furry too XD

Geo-san is a wonderful man. He listens to the stories intently, and his reactions encourage you to continue. Behind him you can see Soleil-chan, a new minarai, Okaasan, Ella and Ari, and Ichisumi-san.

The Yuki Onna, or the Snow Lady, made an appearance. She generally loves chaotic stories, and the story I told had much trickery and violence. Her comments are always witty and humorous :).
Also, the Maiko on her left is Ichisumi-san, and I met her about an hour before the performance at the Tenran kimono store. She is a very kind person, and I look forward to seeing her in the future!

Ookini, everyone!

The Performance:
Here I am waiting to begin.

Meimi-chan did this performance with me. I was really happy that she could participate!

The performance went very well. There was a little bit of an issue with a greifer during poor Meimi-chan's performance, but it was taken care of, and Meimi persevered!

Meimi and I after the performance.

Looking up from under the small Koi pond.

After the show, I used my tips to buy some new kimono. Before the floor rezzed in the Pontocho district, the water looked very beautiful, so I took the time to capture this image.


And for some fixed up pictures:
Meimi and I, together at the Koi pond.

Me, donning one of my new kimono inside of the Okiya this morning.

Thank you to everyone who made this performance a success.

Ookini!

Randoms 2.0!

It's be ages since I've updated this blog. Since then, many humorous things have happened, and I would like to share them once more with you! So without further ado, I present:

Randoms 2.0

Proof that everyone does, indeed, poop.

An incident of creepiness concerning the rezzing of sculpties...-shivers-.

These plunger shoes let you walk on the ceiling and stuff! I stalked some girl at Katat0nik while waiting for a lucky chair :3

Cute Penguin Mode!

Ella dressed as my pengin bf :3

Pengin kissing? D:....

Swimming at the nude beach! Well...sort of swimming.I'm not completely nude though -- If you look close, there's actually particle bandaids on top of all the crucial areas. Totally wasn't my idea to come here though -- don't think I'm into this kind of thing! >_< Something makes me think the angle of the legs is a bit off.

More Swimming XD....

This futon looked SOOOOO comfortable. I was laying in my RL bed at the time, and I just got peaceful and calm. It was a very relaxing experience :)

Now it's time for the silliness to invade traditional Japanese establishments!

After trying to jump on Ella's head for nearly 15 minutes, I was finally successful!

Shoop....
Da....

WHOOP!!

Meimi as Shiva...and Ari (?) as....that...thing....

It's rather disconcerting, isn't it?

Doing research!

The koto player was a little distracted at the Ochaya....

This ricksaw ain't big enough for the two of us....

Having fun at the Pontocho hanamachi! The sculpty people were well done :)

One of the more...uh...interesting guests at last night's performance.

By the end of the performance, her collar was magically in the right place...XD

Ari gets stuck in the ground!

Walking Ari at Little Yoshiwara...she was having TP issues after being stuck in the ground.
