Well after a rough week and a early morning-day long work load slam from the boss, I was ready to goto Golden China across town (in Waxahachie Texas). I hadn't stepped foot in that place in about 10 years and I had remembered they had tiki mugs on the wall behind a makeshift bar. ...Sorry if this is long winded, but the good part is coming up.....promise Well they decided not to offer alcohol anymore, (seeing that the bigger dogs can afford a contract with beer a liqour stores for large quanities)and let then tikis sit there. She then told me that people started to buy them. I was pissed at myself for not comming in sooner, knowing I could have unloaded their burdon for a mear $30 or so. I told her thank you for the wonderful food and fast service and I would return again. As I turned from the counter she bent down from behind the counter and produced the last mug they owned. It was what I call an abstract Geisha. She said she had sold most of them for a few dollars, but I could have her (the mug) if I promised to give her a good home. Delighted at her thoughtfulness I thanked her in english and chinise and happly walked to my car with two girls on each arm, my wife and my geisha mug. I promise to get a pic of her, maybe someone can identify her, no markings though. |

Here's a better shot of the geisha. I found one identical on ebay, it was from Orchids of Hawaii R-126. I found her by typing "Orchids of Hawaii" in ebay. I'd put the link here, but currently my connection is not allowing me to access that site.
