Just for clarification purposes - The actual fashion show is scheduled from 2pm-3pm.
Naomi- I'm assuming you put until 4pm for the purposes of needing time afterwards to remove people from their attire, since you're advertising for assistants here?

Rena - That's correct. I've gone and clarified my post in that regards!

Panels and Workshops / ImmortalGeisha Kimono Fashion Show!
May 06, 2008, 08:12:20 PM
Hi again everyone!
I'm very excited to announce that we'll be holding the first official ImmortalGeisha.com Kimono Fashion show at Fanime this year! The theme of the show is "Real People - Real Kimono". We believe people of all shapes, sizes, and appearances can look equally wonderful in kimono as those lithe magazine models. In fact, I think we can look better!
We'll be showcasing:
- Women's kimono by formality
- Men's kimono by formality
- Geisha & Maiko
- Edo, Meiji and Taisho styles
- Kimono Hime styles
- Our own personal fashion and styles.
In addition to just showing the outfits, we'll also be explaining them and the subtle or not so subtle differences between them.
Modeling Opportunity!
Because I know there were quite a few people last year with a genuine interest in kimono at Fanime - I've left open a few modling slots specifically for Fanime attendees.
If you are interested in being a part of the first ImmortalGeisha.com fashion show - please read the below information and send me an email at [email protected]!
Event Information:
Event: ImmortalGeisha.com Kimono Fashion Show
Date: 25th May, 2008
Total Time: 10am - 4pm (includes dressing, show and undressing / pack-up)
Actual Show Time 2pm - 3pm
The fashion show will be styled and ran by myself, along with the ImmortalGeisha.com moderators, Bebemochi, Mojuko & Bai Mianxi.
Models
If you are comfortable with the idea of wearing kimono and being on stage we need you to email us at [email protected] with the following information:
1. Your full name.
2. Your height and bust/hip/thigh measurements.
3. A head photograph.
4. If you are familiar with wearing kimono or not
5. If you have any sort of kimono underwear or not.
6. If you have tabi
7. Best email address and phone number to contact you at.
8. Your ImmortalGeisha.com screen name and/or LiveJournal name (if any).
The reason why we are asking for measurements is because we'll be using both vintage and modern pieces - there is actually a vast difference in size with vintage kimono compared to modern day counterparts. We also need head shots so we can work out what type of outfit will suit you best, along with rough hair and make-up ideas in advance. Our aim is not only to make an awesome ensemble - but to make YOU look amazing wearing it.
You don't need to know how to dress in kimono as we will be dressing you. We just expect people to look and feel comfortable wearing them.
You will not need to provide your own kimono - we'll be planing and supplying all the outfits. However, if you do have kimono undergarments and tabi, please do let us know as we would like you to use them. If you don't - let us know so we can make sure we have something for you.
A few very important things you should consider before emailing us:
1. We will need everyone to sign model releases, even if you are just assisting. The reason being is because we are going to film/photograph both behind the scenes and the fashion show itself - and put both video and film on the website and consider photographs for any ImmortalGeisha publications. However, if you have some serious skills in the areas we are requesting and really want to assist, but don't want to be filmed, shoot us an email as well - but very clearly stating you do not wish to be filmed. We may make take you on if we think we can film around you, but just please keep in mind people prepared to sign releases may be given higher consideration.
2. The age limit is 16 and above. If you are a minor who wishes to participate, you will need to have your parents or guardian sign the model release form. Especially seeing we will be capturing both behind the scenes footage along with actual show footage and will be uploaded to the ImmortalGeisha website.
3. You will be expected to show up as early as 3-4 hours BEFORE the fashion show in order to allow ample time for make-up/hair/dressing.
5. This is all volunteer basis - your payment will be oodles of fun!
If you'd like the opportunity to be dressed in kimono and model - please email me at [email protected]. There's only a limited number of modeling slots open, so you'll want to jump in while you can!
Kind Regards,
Naomi~

Panels and Workshops / ImmortalGeisha Kimono and Geisha Panels!
May 06, 2008, 05:48:40 PM
Hi everyone! It's Naomi here from ImmortalGeisha.com.
This year will be the first year the ImmortalGeisha.com team will be coming together to host a number of panels on kimono and geisha and also host a full kimono fashion show! We love talking about it online - now it's time to talk about it in person!
We're all really quite excited about this and have been working hard to make the panels both educational and a lot of fun.
So we've come up with 3 panels that should hopefully cross all areas of interest!
Friday, we'll be having 2 panels:
Interactive Yukata Workshop
Everyone is invited to bring along their own yukata and obi and we'll all dress together!
Yukata is the lowest in the formality level of kimono, worn casually in the middle of Summer and often seen worn at Japanese festivals. They are inexpensive to buy and are an excellent start for those wishing to learn how to dress in kimono.
The ImmortalGeisha.com crew will be there to go around and assist everyone with how to position the yukata correctly and how to tie the obi. We'll also discuss fun things you can do with dressing up yukata to make your outfit really POP! It will be a great little workshop to learn basic kimono dressing skills.
For those that don't have a yukata and obi - we'll be bringing along a a few spare for the workshop. We'll also have additional obi so if we run out of yukata, at least you can learn how to tie obi!
For those who don't own a yukata, but do have other kimono - you can bring along your kimono to use in place of the yukata for the workshop.
In addition to the workshop - we'll also discuss the various Japanese and non-Japanese events suitable to wear yukata for.
Semi-Formal Kimono Interactive
The ImmortalGeisha.com team will be dressing a model on stage using a komon (repeat pattern) kimono. We've decided to show komon as they are the most abundant and commonly collected. Komon can adjust in formality level from casual to semi-formal with the careful planning of accessories.
Our model will be dressing herself to show that it isn't impossible to do! While she's dressing, we'll explain very clearly specific trouble areas and provide you with tips on how to overcome them.
We'll also discuss how to increase the formality of the outfit and the most suitable Japanese and non-Japanese events to wear kimono.
Last, but not least, we'll also discuss the topic of seasons and how you can tell apart a Summer from Winter kimono...and just how long it is acceptable to wear a specific seasonal motif.
Saturday Morning we'll be having 1 panel:
How to Dress as a Geisha.
Mojuko and Naomi of ImmortalGeisha will be demonstrating how to dress in authentic maiko (apprentice geisha) kimono.
Mojuko will be flying straight to Fanime from a 2 day geisha etiquette workshop with a real Kyoto geisha - so she will be full of interesting tips and tidbits!
Additionally, well discuss what how you can create the right look without having all the accessories, namely the most important areas to focus on to look right.
The rest of the ImmortalGeisha.com crew will be dressed in Kyoto Geiko style and Tokyo Geisha style to explain the subtle difference between the apprentice geisha, geiko and geisha appearances.
I hope many of you there and if you're a member of the IG forums - don't be shy - come and say HI to us!
