No karaginu mo on Youtube. At least not yet.

However, the Loie Fuller presentation from the historical masquerade. This is awesome: http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=zFHfNf3acgo

Compare to the original Edison kinescope (albeit with modern soundtrack).

This won Best in Show for the historical masquerade, and rightly so. Excellent concept.

I think I just remembered why Loie Fuller's name was so familiar; isn't she the woman who was popular in Europe/France as a performer? I think I remember reading about her in Madame Sadayakko, from when Sadayakko went to France with their performing troupe. (Just double-checked with a quick google search; she is the one I was thinking of.)

I wouldn't have the slightest idea on how to put that outfit together - there's just so much fabric...but the movement is so graceful and beautiful! She did a wonderful job and it was a very nice performance. Did she say why she chose the costume and tribute? I'm just curious if it has personal meaning for her.

You have to understand that I was in a heap on a chair or queued up to go onstage and she was in a different part of the queue than I was, so I didn't know what she was going to do. I didn't even see her performance until I got the DVD home.
