Gei is pronounced like "gay" and sha is pronounced like "shiya," with only a little stress on the "i."
Maiko are apprentice geisha. When they have completed their training, they exchange their garments for those normally worn by geisha.
I own both a yukata and a furisode, which I got on sale because it was used (had only a minor stain on the inside collar!). I love wearing them, and once you get used to certain things, they're pretty easy to put on. I do have to say, however, occasionally they can be a little impeding. Especially when you need to run somewhere ^_^;
