Part 2, the finishing touches.
We stepped out onto the corridor and waited there. Mr Logos stood there waiting in front of a full-length mirror looking stern. You might not know this but his real job was not to drag girls like me away to far-far away places but was a dresser. There was a kimono lying on a chair in a corner and he did not even bother staring at me anyways. I kept my eyes away as anger boiled inside me.
Dona soon came out in an underrobe which is equivalent to underwear. Even though it has this position it was lovely in a light blue color.
You might not know this but the way a normal woman and a geisha wear kimono is different. When a woman puts on kimono, she must put padding so that it will bunch up to make her look fat. This results in the padding squeezing her and giving her this "stick" look.
But Geisha are different, they hardly need any padding. Dona didn't need it; she had what we like to call a perfect figure.
Another point worth nothing was what we Geisha wear, it's called Tabi. It's like any ordinary white sock just that it is one size smaller and has a button at the sides to tighten the sock. Dona put on the kimono and Mr. Logos took a long piece of plum-colored silk and tied it around her. This is called an obi. It is wrapped around the Geisha's navel and there is a bow in the back. It may look simple but it's not. Dona was finally wearing a light yellow robe with a background of trees, grass and a family of deers nuzzling each other. It struck me deeply but I just kept quiet.
Mr. Logos soon bowed making his way out of the Okiya, of course paid with an ordinary sum. Finally there was only the finishing touch-up left. We went back to Dona room and she took out a tiny box containing lipstick. She used the chopstick brush and painted it on. She only painted her bottom lip as it white makeup might leave strange illusions. I have heard someone sometime later that people say that it looks like two pieces of tuna. I laughed at this but it was true I guess.
Dona now drew her eyebrows and Auntie helped her select her hair ornaments. It was a little stick with pears dangling off one end and the other was a glass-looking comb. She applied perfume on and stood up to gaze back at us. Both Auntie and me sighed at how extraordinary Dona looked…
