Laura Nixon: Dita von Teese by Laura Nixon

Very nice interview. I've been a fan of Dita for a while. I would love to see her perform, but I doubt she will ever come to the midwest for a show. I'm just glad the Suicide Girls came to Indianapolis.

i want her husband

a lot..

I think it's great too! It gives us all hope and reminds us that it is possible!

i love dita

What an amazing interview! Different to all of the mainstream interviews in Vogue and such... new information, yay!
I really want to get the pin-up style cookbook!!
You can see why Dita is one of my heroes, yes?

Make that two of us. I know she's talented and perhaps I'd find her absolutely stunning in person, but out of the countless photos I've seen of her, maybe 2 or 3 left me even remotely impressed. Usually she does look very plain to me as well.

"Many know her as the fiancée of Marilyn Manson but Dita von Teese is not just a pretty face"

Ya, no doubt, I've been infatuated with Dita von Teese since about 1995, although I've never got to see her 'live'. Probably a good thing my wife and I would probably fist fight over who gets to talk to her first.
Ok I said talk to her but the fight would really be over who wants her more.
Damn Marilyn Manson first he stole my girl Rose McGowan and then stole the car I've always wanted (Lincoln Continental) at least he has one in that Tainted Love video. Then precious Dita, I don't even want to know the ways he's defiled her!! LOL
But she's still a hottie, he's a lucky man to have such an inovative and creative woman. Yeah Marilyn is pretty damn inovative and creative himself but he's still lucky.

Dita is my hero!

Dita's book is really beautiful if anyone has a chance to pick it up. I work in a bookstore and when I saw it I was in

Dude. I gotta go shopping.

I somewhat lost some respect for Dita when she appeared on America's Next Top Model. I guess after Marilyn, your standards drop.

Awesome interview!

Thank you!

SHE'S FIRE IN A BIG CUP!

Interesting interview. I've always wanted to see one of her shows.

Can someone please explain to me what burlesque is?
I know next to nothing about it and I'm STILL fascinated. I know I adore the style, I'd like to see if I find the actual burlesque performing style interesting as well.

Feel free to join the Burlesque and Vaudeville group!

The answer is a little complicated, since the style has changed a wee bit over the decades. You might get more answers in the group than in a seven-year-old thread.
