[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 11288818, member: 2844"]I didn't say that. And of course I know they were cultured women etc, I have posted that many times before on the forums. Just like I have posted on the way geisha's wear their kimono many times before. My remark was on the way the kimono was worn and only that, you can read it here: I didn't change anything in the quote, you can read it back in post #16. The back of a geisha's kimono was was worn low because women's necks were considered sexually attractive. A high neckline was considered 'decent'. That was Japanese culture of the day, not my judgement. Personally I quite like evening dresses with some of the neck and upper back showing, and have worn them on occasion. Fact is that a geisha's job was to attract and entertain, even 'enchant' men. One of the ways to achieve that was the way they dressed. I didn't call you nor anyone else here by any name and resent that you claim that I did. I wasn't even aware you had a different opinion. I thought you simply wanted to know how to tell the difference between a geisha and a regular Japanese woman. I obliged, even though I have posted it many times before. I don't expect people to read and remember everything I post and don't mind repeating it, for information's sake. I am not too happy that you twist my words in several ways, that is totally unnecessary. Everyone can read what I wrote, and see that I didn't say any of the things you claim I did. I don't know what your reasoning behind your misrepresentation and false accusation is. If it is because you have a previous issue with me, just put me on your 'ignore' list, but don't make things up to get back at me. Otherwise, just read what I actually wrote and comment truthfully on that, if you like.[/QUOTE]
