Is it breaking news? Well, no. Is it Dita Von Teese dancing around naked on YouTube? Why, yes it is. In a recently posted YouTube clip, the Queen of Burlesque swims about nearly nude in an enormous absinthe glass. The Woman Who Dared to Marry Marilyn Manson has been in the news a lot lately, what with the publication of her new book, Burlesque and the Art of the Teese/Fetish and the Art of the Teese, and related public appearances. "Polaroid27" was thoughtful enough to upload a two-minute, sixteen-second clip of Von Teese doing her now infamous absinthe glass dance in her diamond thong.

Dita's career in burlesque began in 1993 as she made a hobby of collecting men's magazines from the 1930s and 40s. In these magazines, there were not only cheesecake photographs of her favorite sex goddesses, but also pages and pages of the burlesque dancers from the era. Dita first began performing her tribute to Sally Rand's feather fan dance at one of the biggest fetish events in the US in 1993, and in 1996, she tipped her hat to striptease icon Lili St Cyr by taking a champagne bath in a crystal-clear glass bathtub. Her unsurpassed showmanship earned her the spotlight as the headlining performer at all three years of Teaseorama, the most highly publicized and attended showcase of the burlesque revival and she has since toured the United States and Europe as a solo performer. In 2002, Dita was singled out with rave reviews from Variety and The Los Angeles Times for her "girl in the glass" solo performances with Carmen Electra's Pussycat Dolls, and the film Charlie's Angels II features a nightclub scene that pays tribute and gives acknowledgment to Dita's trademark act. During a run of performances in Hollywood, Dita caught Hugh Hefner's eye and put her on the cover of Playboy's coveted Holiday Gala issue showing off her astonishing sixteen and half inch corseted wasp-waist and a featuring a fabulously luxurious ten page pictorial of her signature 40's style.

I am lucky enough to have seen this live. I'm doubly fortunate to have seen her do this act with Catherine D'Lish.
