Kimonos and Love in Tokyo for Moody (satire)

From a distance Moody could see a number of people seated outside his office and they did not look like any one he knew in his capacity as the CEO of the country. One group sat a little apart – he could make out that they had with them some equipment.
It all appeared to be a bit mysterious.
It was then that he noticed the women – all of them were well past their prime and would hardly make any head turn but, he had to rely on them.
‘I have brought the people,’ Sue Sharma came up close to Moody and whispered.
‘Who are they?’ Moody asked.
‘They are fashion designers,’ Sue explained. ‘Experts who have a tremendous following in the fashion world. Our heroines depend on their creations.’
“But – I don’t need any new dress,’ Moody said. ‘I have decided to curtail my foreign trips.’
‘No problem’ Sue flashed her pearl white teeth and said. ‘They have Japanese experience.’
‘Japanese?’ Moody’s face lit up.
‘Yes – they have come to show you an assortment of their products. They have used cloth, wool, silk and even polyester.’
‘And – what is their specialty?’
‘Kimonos – the dress that leaves everything to the imagination,’ Sue said.

‘That would be wonderful,’ Moody was pleased. ‘The clothes that girls wear today leaves very little to the imagination. We can change all that.’
‘That is why I invited them in.’
‘Good – and, what about that other group?’
It was now Emma Melaney who came forward.
‘They have brought a film,’ Emma said. ‘It depicts a section of Japanese lifestyle.’
‘Film?’ Moody stared at Emma.
‘Yes – it is an oldie of 1960 vintage but Japanese lifestyle has not changed much. Once you see it you will realize how they behave.’
Moody entered his chamber along with Sue Sharma, Emma Melaney, Ranee-ji, and Uma-ji. The gathering of fashion designers and the movie group also trooped in. And after a round of coconut water, they began to unfold their creations.
It was a wide range of kimonos – the truly Japanese dress. It conceals everything except the face. That is what Moody wanted. Women and girls must wear such a dress that keeps curious eyes at a distance. If enforced, it will do away with many crimes associated with the fairer sex.
The presentations went on and on and, plates of dhokla came and vanished.
And, when they finished, the film group came up. The film they had brought with them was Love in Tokyo’. (to be continued …)
