The millenium Geisha is predominantly the breadwinner of the family. She keeps the full time job, takes care of the family...and lives off anti-depressants for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Cup of coffee, a cigarette, another cigarette...traffic...pretending to be in perfect control...smiling that artificial corporate smile...re-touching the make-up, something tasteless and quick for lunch...a quick call to the husband/boyfriend, an sms to the cute guy recently acquainted on facebook...back to the paper-pushing and telephone answering.
The Millenium Geisha is the modern woman who is a specialist in sexual perversion, loving family relations and tasty lunches and dinners. Essentially living the double, or triple life that should bring perfect bliss to all around her...to all...except her.
We run towards our masks, thinking that if they can fool everyone else into thinking we're happy, maybe they'll eventually trick us as well.
