Steph Senpai becomes a Maiko!!

Updated: Apr 17



Hi, Stephanie here! In this episode, I transform into a Maiko - basically, a Geisha in training. A Maiko is a teenager or young adult learning the ropes of traditional Japanese arts and etiquette to become a full-fledged Geisha. And, fun fact, a Geisha, also known as a Geiko, is a pro female entertainer skilled in all things Japanese arts and social niceties. The lady who gave me a makeover wanted me to be a Maiko because, well, I was young and she probably thought I needed some training. The whole experience of wearing a kimono felt weirdly nostalgic, like I'd done it before or something. Anyway, after I got all dolled up, I strolled around the streets and, of course, tourists went crazy taking my picture.
