|  Geisha Costume
Geisha wear a bright outer kimono, two under-kimonos, 11 obis (belts and sashes); lacquer their hair and place ornaments in it; and apply layers of paint and make up. Before the geisha put on their kimonos they apply white powdered make-up on the faces and paint to their necks and backs. Some geisha paint their teeth black, a custom once considered beautiful for women.
Putting on the obis and kimonos is like going through a maze to a complete a jigsaw puzzle. It takes geisha about three hours to put their make-up on and the costume, which often costs more than $30,000. Young helpers and an "auntie" often help the geisha to get dressed. A man is sometime necessary to do the strenuous parts of putting on the obi.
Geisha clothes weigh 10 kilograms. "An obi is like a man's necktie." a Tokyo geisha told Cobb. "You tie it tight, and you become upright and rigid. I'm like a businessman putting on a suit in the morning, preparing for his daily battle, forgetting his personal life. When I put on make-up and a kimono, I turn into a geisha in my mind also. In a kimono, I am a professional."
One Kyoto client told Cobb, "I have seen how geisha prepare their makeup, but I don't like to. I want the romantic ideal, not the reality. I don't want to know the trick. I don't want t known their sad stories. I want to keep it as a dream, and they want to keep it as a dream for me. That's the business."
