From my Weekend Reading: Being Outed & Geishas

Melissa Hung - December 5, 2005

And, guess what I found in my Sunday Times? Geishas, of course. The "Murmurings of a Geisha" photos by Deborah Turbeville [1] have this subhead: "Japanese women are rediscovering the beauty of a tradition." (Scroll down for the link.) You just can't turn around these days without someone "being inspired" by geishas, from Banana Republic [2] to the New York Times. I can't wait for that movie to be over already.

Speaking of movies, the Hollywood Reporter says that a sequel to National Lampoon's Van Wilder is in the works. [3] Van Wilder II: The Rise of Taj, will star Kal Penn (aka Kumar in Harold and Kumar) I love Kal Penn. I think he's great and I think it's great he's going to be in a starring role, but um, why? Do we really need a sequel? Someone's counting their DVD sales before they've hatched...
