Memoirs of an Asian American Geisha

So for my WMST 185MY class, our second self-portrait is suppose to be a 3-5 minute video. I was toying around the idea of a "Memoirs of an Asian American Geisha" for a little while, ever since the real movie came out. Talking to Mary, I haven't really developed the idea in my head yet... just the name sounds pretty funny.

Some things I could do is a portrait of myself and what it means to be an Asian American Geisha, because that is still what we are subjected too, even though we, as Asian American womyn have either grown up in the U.S. or are heavily "Americanized". That's something I could explore in using this term as "geisha". I'm still trying to figure out what this really means for myself and Asian American womyn.

Should I explore the contemporary portrayals of ASAM females today? And how I connect it back to my life, in which I can use to be self-empowering or should I do it as a historical doc, with various images throughout the decades?

I think I really just need to define and articulate my Asian American womyn identity a lot better than I ever had. I guess I don't know what the right questions to ask.. yet. Or conceptually what I really want.
