The Drag Queen as Geisha

I have often considered the high art and lessons learnt in becoming a geisha: JAPANESE ICON
as not very dissimilar to those as garnered by the average drag queen.
In fact have though that comparisons
could be drawn.

Consider the young geisha who set apart and drawn into the geisha house under the watchful eyes of elder mother figures and geisha still exhibiting their craft,to high paying clients.
That craft can be for highly polished performance to entertain,in the ways of dance,musical accomplishment,and charm.The fact that such geisha may in the course of her duties,offer sexual favour for a variety of reasons: not least of all.Power.Position.Esteem.

Young gay men,in the process of discovering their sexual mores often desert their biological family and seek other role models and mother figures.Such is the lot of the young geisha trainee.
Despite what ever frustration homage is paid to age and experience,and also relevant disrespect
when trying to climb to a rung higher on the ladder.Of course this can be public,or for the better
and more established...thought of but never exposed.

So a geisha is a paid entertainer.Who's skills in music,dance and sexual favour are highly prized,yet spend a lifestyle away from their biologocal families....as simple as that...
it would seem that we have paralell lives.....

To my sisters...consider the life of a geisha
