GEISHA LEARNING HOW TO DEAL WITH DRUNK and ABUSIVE CUSTOMERS

As two Geisha play harmonious music on their three-stringed sanshin, the other five take turns learning how to lasso and strangle a customer until he is rendered unconscious.

On average, each Geisha House had to subdue at least 3 customers a week using this technique. Even the strongest male could be subdued in this manner by several Geisha working together. Once the noose was slipped over his head and around his neck, that pretty much spelled the end of his trouble making.

Chronic “gropers” (and even worse) were usually taken down in 10 seconds or less, and a few remain hospitalized for at least a week. In a Geisha House, TESTOSTERONE was NOT a man’s best friend.

Just remember this one thing : KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF THE GEISHA

Interesting.

Suprisingly, after going offline for some time, my tumblarity is still reasonable. LOL

This is beyond fantastic. The entire run of LIFE magazine as a weekly is now archived on Google Books. 1,860 full issues from 1936 to 1972.

Such an amazing resource of American culture, historic events, photography, and advertising. What might Don Draper think of some of these? Also, note how the AdWords change to fit the content of each page you read.

Chinese born Zhang Peng merged his background in painting with his love for photography to create some very eerie portraits, full of drama and theatrics, resorting to intense color use and emotion manipulation. Using mostly little girls as models, he toys with people’s expectations of hope and aspiration usually associated with such young subjects to offer a grotesque view of society’s expectations and perfection ideals.
