Shirley Temple, Japan

Maids, Princesses and birthday party girls?

These girls looked like they had dressed for a party at least.

From a distance I saw them coming and wanted a closer shot. I wonder if that ice-cream round the pink girl’s neck is a torch?

Disney Tokyo offers the foreign observers so many fashions to chose from – I am spoilt!

And from behind – fashion verdict? I love it ! These outfits must have cost a small fortune.

Bows are lovely

It is good to dress-up.

    My main curiosity about Japan is about the mystical Geisha. There are so many fables about such character of sexiness in the Japanese culture,that when i ask some Japanese neighbors,they blush and somehow change the conversation. They create more myth than give straight answers.
    Is it just a myth that they’re trained in the highest techniques of love making or is it just hyped? Have you as a western woman being attracted to discover what’s behind that exotic myth? Would You like to fantasize about playing the role of a Geisha? Or is it a taboo subject,as there all those wild and unbelievable stories of “mother-son” incest stories that come from that mysterious land? Have you heard anything in Japan about the latter taboo? Just curious.
