I don't know how I feel about just anybody messing around with Geisha makeup, but there is (or was) a white Geisha. She had lived in Japan for many years and that was what she wanted to be so they accepted her. And she did wear the makeup. I saw her on TV.

(There may be more to the story than what I saw, but she seemed very dignified.)

Yes and no; she also ignored the expectations of the culture she was supposedly representing, and the geisha community cut her off. Not knowing the situation, I don't know how much of the problem was the geisha community itself and how much was her own doing, but I suspect the expectations became too hard for her... plus she clearly wanted to show off.
