    So a little more history on geisha’s! Technically they were not prostitutes. It’s true that in the Edo period of Japan prostitution was legal however it required special licenses. Once a trainee (maiko) became a geisha she was strictly forbidden to hold such licenses. What you’re referring to was called an oiran, a very high ranking intelligent sexual courtesan. They were also trained in the art of dance, song, games and entertainment like a geish. But those two are mutually exclusive. Geisha actually derived their style of dress in part from orians due to being considered the crème of the creme in beauty. Eventually men started to dress in such a way that mimicked them but they were exclusively trained in song and dance and eventually the profession was taken over by women. A lot of people confuse the two because back after WWII many of the soldiers could obviously not speak Japanese. They called every single woman who had white face paint, or wore a red kimono a geisha. But to be a geisha, it is a far lengthier and more detailed process. Mizuage was practiced but it was not as common and could get an okiya shut down if it wasn’t hush hush. If a geisha did have sexual relations with a guest she did so knowing it was going to be her retirement and often married the one she had sex with. So technically geishas weren’t prostitutes, they were called orian if they engaged in sexual activity with clients.

      Thankyou so much. Will 📌 I’ve seen so many movies that feature ww2 era and you are absolutely correct. I should have researched more before I said that. Was sort of referring to the makeup and hair being a look that would define a geisha but it’s true just that alone doesn’t make an actual geisha, and I did think the entertainment aspect would lead to more. Again appreciate all your research!Thankyou again 👏

      That is correct! Thanks for the history. I only add to this history, a little bit more.
      After the American Civil War the US sailed to Japan. All the US sailors being men, they wanted sexual relations. And not trying to understand Japan and its culture, they believed and assumed the Maiko and Geisha to be prostitutes, beginning the destruction and misunderstanding by most of the world, and nearly all the U.S.: that Geisha were prostitutes. Which they were not at all. And Nakita you got everything correct and I am thrilled you did, thank you.

    I'm always so very excited when I see a notification from you Erin. Your content fills my little heart with joy. I usually prefer cruelty free products, but I'm not opposed to the use of carmine, especially considering that it's in some of my favourite lipsticks. So excited for your upcoming content. To say I'm an Erin Parsons fan is an understatement. You are beautiful inside and out and I absolutely adore you. Lots of love, Anna (UK)

    Historically most everything has not been “vegan” or “cruelty free”, that whole thing is a relatively new phenomenon, perhaps from the 1960’s and influenced by artsy fartsy eastern philosophy. The truth is that in nature everything consumes something else to exist, there’s no shame in that, the shame would be in wasting or taking more than you need.

      Like one of our university biology professors said when he gives his daughter a beef burger, at least the meat is dead. But when she eats salads, there are thousands of cells screaming once she takes the bite. That is his true observation of plant cells under microscope in his work.

      @nixlay655 9 месяцев назад +36

      ​​@@jamiebonnielee4657Please, its such an idiotic way of thinking. First of all, cells cant scream and its not like cells can feel the pain. The fact that you eat something that has functionating cells in it doesnt change a thing. Its about the whole organism that you consume - the animals have a nervous system and they feel the pain before the mass slaughter that is in fact exessive for our needs. So well, I prefer to eat something alive that doesnt feel instead of something that has to suffer most of their lifes and finally be killed to be eaten.

    I'm just now watching a short film from Warner bros in 1937. A musical, about 15 minutes, technicolor, but the great thing is that they show an actress being made up in the studio makeup dept. The techniques are just as you say. Tons of Rouge, brushed on lipstick, and they show them putting on false eyelashes. Must see

      @erinparsonsmakeup it was on Turner Classic Movies, I didn't look up in time to see the credit but it starred character actor Fritz Feld, who had a long career. He played a crazy movie director. Its about a girl from a studio tour group bring chosen for the lead in a musical. The guy playing the make up artist sings as he paints her face. (It's obviously someone else's hands doing the work) she of course turns out to be a killer dancer, gunning off all kinds of stuff en Pointe. The make up techniques are just as you say, tons of Rouge, then pounded with powder.
