In May of this year Dita Von Teese will embark on an 18-month major North American tour that is the culmination of her 20-year career as a burlesque artist. In line with her passion for presenting the art in its purest form, her “Burlesque: Strip Strip Hooray!” shows will feature a diverse cast of authentic characters alongside four of Dita’s most dazzling sets.

SuicideGirls caught up with the Queen of Teese to talk about her show, her inspirations, and her philosophy on glamour and self-invention.

This is a much more in-depth interview than many others featuring Dita, so thank you! I really hope I get to see her perform at some point, she should definitely bring Strip Strip Hooray to the UK.

Saw the revue last Friday in Seattle and it was gorgeous. I was in the first row, and let me tell you, Dita is even more striking in person. Wonderful interview.
