A literary sensation and runaway bestseller, this brilliant debut novel tells with seamless authenticity and exquisite lyricism the true confessions of one of Japan's most celebrated geisha.

Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read

Speaking to us with the wisdom of age and in a voice at once haunting and startlingly immediate, Nitta Sayuri tells the story of her life as a geisha. It begins in a poor fishing village in 1929, when, as a nine-year-old girl with unusual blue-gray eyes, she is taken from her home and sold into slavery to a renowned geisha house. We witness her transformation as she learns the rigorous arts of the geisha: dance and music; wearing kimono, elaborate makeup, and hair; pouring sake to reveal just a touch of inner wrist; competing with a jealous rival for men's solicitude and the money that goes with it.

In Memoirs of a Geisha, we enter a world where appearances are paramount; where a girl's virginity is auctioned to the highest bidder; where women are trained to beguile the most powerful men; and where love is scorned as illusion. It is a unique and triumphant work of fiction--at once romantic, erotic, suspenseful--and completely unforgettable.

Look great and feel wonderful for the gym.
Fit Type: 7" Inseam, Size: XX-Large, Color: Grey Camo
My favorite gym shorts. Not a ton of pockets, but the front pockets zip closed and fit my phone and headphones well. They dry very fast, look great, and are light enough and comfortable enough to work out in.

Great feel and color
Size: Medium, Color: Ocean Depths, Size: Medium, Color: Ocean Depths
Absolutely love this tank top! The color is gorgeous and exactly like the pictures — super vibrant and flattering. The ribbed material feels soft but still has enough stretch to hug in all the right places. I also really like the built-in padding and racerback style because it makes it easy to wear without needing extra layers. The only thing I would mention is that it runs a little small, especially if you want a more relaxed fit. I’d recommend sizing up if you’re between sizes. Other than that, it’s a great basic top that looks cute dressed up or casual!

Vibrant Racer Back Tank !!!
Size: X-Small, Color: Hot Pink, Size: X-Small, Color: Hot Pink
I purchased this Danysu V Neck Racer Back Tank Top for Women Padded Ribbed Long Tank Fitted Basic Cami Tops to wear under my off-shoulder top for an upcoming 80’s dance party, and it works perfectly for what I needed! The bright pink color really pops and adds the perfect retro accent to my outfit. I intentionally ordered the XS because I did not want it to fit loose under my top, and it definitely gives a snug, fitted look. The ribbed material is soft and stretchy, and the built-in padding is a nice bonus. I would recommend sizing up if you plan to wear it alone or if you are curvier, as the XS runs very tight. However, for layering under another top as I did, it worked out exactly the way I wanted. Super cute, flattering, and great for layering or workouts!

My new Favourite Summer Tank Top - padded cup (no shelf bra!)
Size: X-Small, Color: Color Block Black, Size: X-Small, Color: Color Block Black
Cutest tank top, my new summer go-to. I was looking and searching high and low for a tank top which had padded cups without the shelf bra. Shelf bras are so uncomfortable with their elastic bands and are even worse in the summer, sweaty sun. I wanted something breathable, movable, and with just a bit of padding to cover the nipples and add the slightest big of shape. If you are large breasted these built in cups might not be the best for you, but as a smaller breasted lady these are perfect. The cups are not over the top bulky, but also they are not meant to really add "support" (for those who are looking for support this wouldn't be the tank for you. Think lightly padded!) The material is super soft and the length comes down to the hips. The tank doesn't ride up, so you're not always having to pull them down and adjust, and so you could wear them for both workouts or for casual summer evenings. I bought size XS and I am 5'1, 97 lbs. I was wondering if I should go to a size S because it wasn't clear by some of the reviews, but I'm glad I bought the XS because the shoulder strap is also the perfect length (not too baggy but also not super tight). Read the sizing chart before you buy - they are true to the size indicated on the sizing chart. Some have said theirs didn't come with padding, or the stitching was poor, but the ones I've received are totally fine. This tank is just plain-old comfortable any way you look at it. I'll be buying more colours!

Great workout tank
Size: Small, Color: Cocoa
Great workout tank with built-in padding. Fits true to size, is comfortable and soft that hugs your form. Only reason I’m giving 4 stars is because the pads do get shifted around during washes, which is typical but frustrating. I air dry and haven’t had any issues with shrinking either.
