Gosh how I like the 'Cutthroat Geisha' idea, showing these 'ideal' women in a rather different role, just as they also can be, sometimes. Let me try to invigorate the thread a bit.
Is she just too composed, too balanced? Too aware of her all-conquering beauty? Yet I'd really like to see my princess giving a threatening, dangerous
look worthy of this thread if only once...
Best approach thus far IMO is this one:
Kikutsuru during her erikae, portrayed by Melissa Chasse. It hardly exceeds a warning to stand off a bit more, it's not the deadly, laser-like
zapp I'm looking for.
Of course this dangerous glaring-thread does not apply to maiko, or does it? Naaa... no way. Not maiko. They are just too cute to ever... at least, I hope so... please, not maiko-san... will yet another illusion go to bust?
