short update on japan

[aimeekitty]

having a GREAT time. Last night.... the performance of Elizabeth (takarazuka) with Nao Ayaki (retirement) ...despite the fact that I couldn:t understand what they were saying (other than the plot synop I read) is one of the most wonderful things I have EVER seen. Anyone saying that Nao can:t dance is crazy in the head. She was wonderful, and this is now my favorite Elizabeth, (costumes, sets, music, dancing, singing,etc etc... all improved) and at a close tie with RoV for favoritie all-time musical ever.
I totally cried.

Also thanks to Yuzuko:s recommendation I got made up like a Maiko! huge highlight of my trip... they painted me white... I got to pick out an amazing kimono, gorgeous wig and a great photoshoot. and then at Takarazuka City Annie, AJ and I got to wear takarazuka costumes at the Salon de Takarazuka! We:ll post pics of all when we get back.

Also it snowed in Kyoto on one of our temple days...! We saw a good fortune bean festival in a snow covered temple, Nijo castle in snow, etc, etc. We made snow men.

XD

anyeay....off to tenshi no sato!!

more detail when we get back

Annie wore the empress/concubine\whatever-the-hell-it-is outfit from flowers of chang-an and Elisabeth of course.

I did a tux revue outfit (not the feathers one cause that ones was fugly) and derTod.
