Nicole Powers: Dita Von Teese: Stripteese

I read this interview barely breathing, I am so blown away by Dita's work and she is such a creative soul. Love her!

Great article. Loved it.

I didn't read it. Shes hot, I'd hit it!

Interesting. Before I joined this site, I was only vaguely aware of burlesque, and didn't think much of it. I had no idea that there was such a person as Dita von Teese. I've checked out her site (the free parts, $20/month is too much for me) and I like what I see.

While it didn't come up in the interview, I did find an article on the Fox news site about her in which she says that about 80% of her fans now are female.

I found out some information I thought I'd share. A DVD of her performance at the Crazy Horse in Paris is available on DVD in France, it came out on Nov. 24, and you can find it here. Apparently, it's region-free, so most of us should be able to play it. Right now, it's selling for 19.99 Euros, which, last I checked was around $28 USD. Not including shipping, which would likely be steep if you're not in Europe. A US release for the DVD is forthcoming, but as far as I know, no release date has been announced.

Here is the page I found about it that links from the front page of Dita's site.

Edit: I just did some currency conversions and such through the French Amazon.com, and for me, including shipping, it would cost $40.99. Might be best to wait for the US release for those of us on this site of the Atlantic.

Why, thank you.

Great interview, thank you for the very good questions. I can't wait to see her new book.

Excellent interview, She's one of my idols. Incredibly brilliant and amazingly gorgeous, two for one! I love it. I'm going to have to add her newest things to my collection! She's who got me to want to start corseting in the first place. <3

I've long thought Dita was awesome, but to hear her say such nice things about lighting crews...

This lighting techie is officially in love.

(Very nice interview BTW).

I love this woman A wonderful interview.

You mean epitome, by any chance?

I'm sure she's been checking every day to see if anyone corrected her spelling in her year old comment on a two year old article.

Recently a new fan of burlesque. LOTS better than mainstream porn, makes you use your noodle.

that was a wonderful interview....

I have her first book which is essential if you're a fan...in that book she calls sweatpants 'The Enemy of Femininity'.....how right she is...coming from a lady who lives and breathes pure glamour!

But I loved the quote in the book about each and every piece that she's aquired and how she feels about them...I can relate to that on so many levels...

what a lady!

By the way,Sephora did a limited edition 'Crazy Horse Paris' lipstick..the same shade all the dancers wear....it is beautiful...I was lucky enough to get one...in a sale there...!
