Immortal Geisha - Hairstyles of Kyoto Maiko Maiko are also known to don a variation of the shimada mage hairstyle during the Miyako Odori. The senior Maiko will wear the ofuku hairstyle for the duration of her training up until two weeks to a month (there appears to be conflicting time frames) before her eri-kae (turning of collar) where she will don the elaborate sakkou hairstyle. The cutting of the hair is now performed by the Okasan and whilst the hair cut is not the Maiko's real hair, the significance of this gesture remains the same: to indicate that the Maiko is expressing her willingness and resolution to devote her life to the arts of Geiko. www.immortalgeisha.com /hairstyles_maiko.php   (1610 words)

UCIP Database - Record of Lieutenant Commander Maiko D'rall Maiko's experience in the alternate universe 'mirage' caused by the temporal backwash of the Jjaro Catapult was rather disturbing; in the alternate universe, the Pfhor attacked Reorsa much sooner, and instead of Maiko fleeing to Coro, it was to be her family. Maiko's skill as a shuttle pilot were quite handy during the evac of civilians from combat areas in Everon on Reor'sa; when the shuttle was nearly caught in a head-on collision with a fighter, the starboard systems were virtually annihilated. Maiko was among those in the Coronado's crew to send letters through the Catapult rift to the Milky Way galaxy, though hers was an open letter merely addressed to surviving members of her great-grandparents. database.ucip.org /bio/view_individual.cgi?ID=3123   (1543 words)

Biography: Maiko D'rall - Chief of Flight Operations, USS Coronado Maiko D`rall is the daughter of Melissa Davion (deceased) and Salem D`rall, who were both descendants of the two of the USS Churchill's crew, Charles Davion and Drova D`rall (both deceased). Maiko prefers to think of herself more as a member of a team rather than an officer in charge, and often likes to take time to share her knowledge - and have knowledge shared with her - with her comrades in flight. Maiko was barely able to return the shuttle to the triage center, and even after the difficult landing, continued her evac work in another shuttle. members.aol.com /CptFarrell/maiko.html   (3411 words)

Maiko If that were the case, Maiko's sushi — raw baby yellow tail ($3 a piece), salmon ($2), tuna ($2.50) and red snapper ($2.50) and seared white tuna ($2.25) — would have been tantalizing. The Maiko roll ($12) put the same rice together with tuna, salmon, yellow tail, white fish, avocado and mango in loosely wrapped roll that was more pliable than desired for handling with chopsticks. Maiko's setting is lovely, with a combination of modernist touches, such as the multiblocked ceiling and the blue sofa-style banquette seating, that contrast with the old stone walls and large bold paintings. www.austin360.com /restaurants/content/restaurants/xl/2005/09/maiko_09-22-05.html   (615 words)

B&RD: Eastern Lowland Gorillas - Maiko Maiko National Park was created November 1970 to protect the critical populations of Grauer’s gorilla, chimpanzee, okapi, bongo, forest elephant and Congo peacock sheltered within its boundaries. Based on forest reconnaissance, John Hart and Claude Sikubwabo (1994) consider Maiko may be the richest forest park in the Democratic Republic of Congo in terms of biodiversity. It is my hope that this article will introduce Maiko to the broader public, encourage support and potentially peak the interest of an NGO to adopt Maiko. www.kilimanjaro.com /gorilla/brd/maiko.htm   (932 words)

Maiko Saravia Maiko started racing in 1982 and by 1992 was seriously involved in motorcycle drag racing - primarily through the All Harley Drag Racing Association.

TrekEarth | Maiko Photo A Maiko is an apprentice Geisha who must undergo few years of training, where she learns the various arts such as dancing, singing, music etc before she becomes a Geisha. A gorgeous image of a maiko with beautiful colours, I've heard that there aren't many geisha left and also less girls are turning to the art of being a geisha. Just a small criticism like the other people, the sharpness of the maiko's face isn't as sharp as it could be. www.trekearth.com /gallery/Asia/Japan/photo367291.htm   (334 words)

Maiko He reported that the Maiko staff salaries have not been paid for the past three years.

Megatokyo Forums -> Miho Tohya: Maiko? This shunning of maiko by similar aged-girls was very much in evidence in the film on Foreign Correspondent (does not come across in the transcript).

Maiko National Park The human danger to the Park is more likely to come from increasing migration of other ethnic groups, such as the Nande, Boa, and Ngelema, to the region, as well as from the armed militias (Simba, MaiMai, and Interhamwe), based in and around the Park. These migrants are drawn to the Maiko area by the hope of sizable financial gains from mining of precious minerals in and around the Park (gold, coltan, diamond, etc.) as well as the fast return from poached ivory and even bushmeat. The biggest threats to the integrity of Maiko National Park are: illegal hunting for ivory and bushmeat, and illegal mining within the Park for gold, coltan, and diamonds. www.wcs.org /international/Africa/drcongo/maiko   (575 words)

Pilot Guides.com: Maiko Makeover By Mavis Li Upon arrival in the Kyoto Station, my friend Vicky and I were stunned by the modish of the station building, which was a huge contrast to Kyoto's image as the centre of traditional Japan. After taking few great shots from the famous wooden terrace, making a short prayer in the shrine and sampling some spring water what is said to have healing powers, we left the temple to search for the studio that we had already selected before our trip to Japan. The makeup artist first painted my face to the back of my lower neck with plain white makeup until I looked like a ghost in Japanese tale, then she shaped my eyebrows with eye pencil, gave me red eyeliner and crimson colour on my pale lips and finally a retouch on the facial makeup. www.pilotguides.com /community/travel_writers/maiko_makeover.php   (663 words)

miaminewtimes.com - News A popular misconception, one I was a victim to myself, is that Maiko Thai Restaurant and Lounge and Maiko Japanese Restaurant and Sushi Bar on Washington Avenue are joint ventures. She was also in the lounge and the dining room, painting the walls a royal purple, installing the gold wing chairs, and hanging the pleated Oriental fan on the violet backdrop. This is a more intimate room than Maiko Japanese, one in which Santon hopes to foster good customer relations as well as a healthy cash register. www.miaminewtimes.com /issues/1993-02-10/cafe.html   (1113 words)
