Mineko: the Geisha Avatar Brought to you by KittenKat and BlackRoseWhiteHeart Finally, an avatar designed especially for the Maiko & Geisha community of IMVU. Mineko has 25 traditional triggered Geisha poses, as well as 9 triggered Japanese phrases (voiced by BlackRoseWhiteHeart), and new default poses which are designed to eliminate the clipping of the long kimono sleeves. In addition, she includes a specially-designed Tomesode Kimono, Zori, Parasol, and Geiko hairstyle (textures by BlackRoseWhiteHeart, meshes by KittenKat), plus skintone by BlackRoseWhiteHeart and eyes by KittenKat. This avatar will work especially well with items derived from KittenKat's kimono mesh and parasol mesh. It should also work with many of the other Japanese products available on IMVU, but has not been fully tested with all other items for compatibility. Please try her with your favorite items before purchasing if you have any concerns. The parasol is designed to work with the default poses, and is triggered separately from the poses below. To trigger the parasol, type: parasolshort (triggers parasol for ~30 seconds) parasollong (triggers parasol for ~5 minutes) parasolkeep (triggers parasol semi-permanently). NOTE: Due to incompatibilities with versions 424 and higher of the IMVU client, I have had to remove the multiple trigger words per pose. I apologize for the inconvenience. Poses can be triggered by typing stand01 - stand14, kneel 01 - kneel 4, par01 - par06, and sit01. Triggered Phrases: arigatou (thank you), ohayou (good morning), konbanwa (good evening), ogenkidesuka (how are you), ookini (thank you - formal), hai (yes), hai (yes), matane (see you soon), konnichiwa (good afternoon), and sayonara (good bye). Developers: The Geisha Avatar includes and has been designed to work especially with the following meshes: Kimono, Parasol, and Zori.

This project was started by BlackRoseWhiteHeart and KittenKat before BlackRoseWhiteHeart left IMVU.
KittenKat decided to finish this project in honor of her and all her contributions to the IMVU Community.





*Poses marked with a star are available with a slight variation which you may prefer.
Just type b after the trigger to see the variation. For example, stand02b, kneel04b.
