KEEP CALM & GO GEISHA-MANIA!™

Got Sushi?

How’s THIS for a middle-aged underdog with killer biceps?

My one-of-a-kind sushi bikini was created by fashion designer Aly Weinberg, a graduate of Otis College of Art & Design. I'd say it's "totally dope" (love that term) but won't because I don't want to sound completely lame. Aly did an amazing job -- you'll def see this in the GEISHA-NISTA™ HALL OF FAME!

Ziggy, Shiloh, Marley, Layla, Biggs, and Kobe rock their kimonos at the GEISHA-MANIA! shoot ... along with choreographer/dancer Polet Vartanians (behind those Foster Grants!) and makeup artist Abe Steinberg, who gave Harrison and Joe their geisha-tastic looks.

Joe Goes Geisha ...

Who hasn't fallen in love with my geisha "gal pal" Joseph Carl White II???

Not too many, especially those of us that worked with him on GEISHA-MANIA!™ -- talk about hysterical. Joe was a-MAZING! His joyous spirit, talent, and level of professionalism is beyond impressive, not to mention the fact that he's too damn funny. (In between costume changes, he made me laugh so hard that the tears kept ruining my eye makeup for TWO WHOLE DAYS! It was out of control and my MUA Martha Fernandez can attest ... and he thought THAT was funny! Martha, on the other hand, did not.)

When he walked into the casting call at FFL Studios back in March, Joe had me and co-director Paige Cone rolling on the floor. I almost wet myself. He sat smack in front of us in a red Barcelona chair and owned the room. Wow. That's when I knew he HAD to be part of this singing, dancing fiasco of fun. I was so right. Without Joe, GEISHA-MANIA! just wouldn't be the same -- from our scenes in Chinatown (especially of him and I on the marble horse, see below!), my geisha lair, and the nail salon to hot times in the hot tub, he truly embraced the moment and was a great sport ... something not too many guys would be comfy with.

Besides stints on Bravo's "Millionaire Matchmaker" and "Tosh.0," Joe's a pro wrestler -- for reals. He didn't bat an eye lifting me like a Barbie barbell on set. But it's his heart that really touched everyone -- always positive, always sweet, always smiling. There really are no chance happenings.

Stay tuned for the video interviews with Joe and all the cast and crew - I love them all. xo

Tortured by Instagram?

Have you visited GEISHA-MANIA on Instagram? Well, then you must. It's definitely a work in progress ... that is when I actually remember to leave the damn pics on my phone. Is there a way to upload photos from the computer? That would make my life so much easier. (But let's not get nuts.)  http://instagram.com/ladygeisha_geishamania

Oy Vey ... Part Deux.

Memoirs of a Geisha-in-the-Making ... Oy Vey.

Quickies are better than nothing, eh? ;P

Earlier this week, I was in the middle of writing a post about writing the song and got sidetracked by several things, one of them severe lack of sleep. The saved file sits prominently atop a pile of digital “must-do’s" that I really must get to. Really. In the meantime, mull this over.

My singing, dancing musical snack, AKA, GEISHA-MANIA!™, is now nearing its third day (not quite 72 hours) on YouTube with over 2,100 views — which isn’t too shabby for an unknown. (Although it’s like a watched pot that refuses to boil, which is quite maddening.) I’m thrilled to share the journey — from drawing my first Lady Geisha caricature to bringing this cartoon character to life — and all it entails.

I was warned by many friends/family/crew members NOT to read the comments, but as human nature has it, I can’t help myself. Some are wonderful (LOVE YOU BACK!) and, as you can well imagine, some are not. Do haters hate because they’re incapable of realizing their own dreams? So it seems, because even insipid, shallow people can make shit happen. But God Bless America, we’re all entitled to our opinion.

My only response is something I’ve always believed, but was lucky enough to read in black and white this past Friday at LACMA’s Stanley Kubrick exhibit. (Fabulously inspiring show!) It was an excerpt from an interview with James Harris, his early producing partner.

When asked about Kubrick’s perfectionism and intensity, he replied, “Stanley believed that you shouldn’t be inhibited by what people are going to think of you, whether they’re going to like you or not. For him, every single detail was extremely important and he was ready to give himself up totally to achieve his goal - which was the movie - for you have to live with your work for the rest of your life."

Amen … and I hope you’ll stick around for the rest of the ride. Bumpy or otherwise. xoxo
