SHOW ME THE OBI !!! - a photo on Flickriver

It's KIMONO CHAOS in Old Japan !

OK. I admit defeat. I can't explain this one with any authority, and I don't want to waste your time with my educated guesses... which are usually wrong half the time, anyway.

What we need here is an IMMORTAL GEISHA to log on and leave an expert comment telling us exactly what these Japanese girls are all dressed up for.

All I know for sure is that, even though I can't see their faces, I can declare every one of them to be the cutest girl in all Japan.

♥ Oh... as long as I had the old pic slapped in the scanner, I took a hi-rez panorama across their finely coiffed hair : www.flickr.com/photos/okinawa-soba/13983858882/

♥ Don't forget... You want OBI ? I got OBI !!! --- www.flickr.com/photos/okinawa-soba/sets/72157605634646997/
