Geisha: A LifeNo woman in the three hundred year history of the karyukai has ever come forward in public to tell her story until now. Many say I was the best geisha of my generation, writes Mineko Iwasaki. And yet, it was a life that I found too constricting to continue. And one that I ultimately had to leave.

No woman in the three-hundred-year history of the karyukai has ever come forward in public to tell her story--until now. Many say I was the best geisha of my generation, writes Mineko Iwasaki. And yet, it was a life that I found too constricting to continue. And one that I ultimately had to leave. Trained to become a geisha from the age of five, Iwasaki would live among the other women of art in Kyoto's Gion Kobu district and practice the ancient customs of Japanese entertainment. She was loved by kings, princes, military heroes, and wealthy statesmen alike. But even though she became one of the most prized geishas in Japan's history, Iwasaki wanted more: her own life. And by the time she retired at age twenty-nine, Iwasaki was finally on her way toward a new beginning. Geisha, a Life is her story -- at times heartbreaking, always awe-inspiring, and totally true.Binding Type: Paperback

Subtle but gorgeous
Color: Golden
I’d buy it just for the perfume bottle - just adorable.
The glitter is light and gives a delightful shimmer on skin and hair. Not saying exactly how old I am but I remember the 80s…if you older and just want some sparkle THIS IS IT. It’s light cover and sheen is just enough to add some glam without looking like you’ve just come off the pole… If you are heading in that direction just use an extra couple of puffs of glitter and you go girl… Will likely buy more colors, so fun!

Love This Shimmer Spray!
Color: Silver
Absolutely love this glitter spray!
I bought this for a party and it worked even better than I expected. The glitter is super fine and gives a beautiful, high-end shimmer without looking chunky or cheap. The spray nozzle is really easy to use and distributes the shimmer evenly on both hair and skin.
