TAGS: How is This News?, Dita Von Teese, AIDS

Okay, okay—question: what's classier, dating someone half your age or personally delivering a $100,000 charitable check to help spread the word about HIV prevention? I'm not here to ruffle any feathers or fire up any fanatics, I'm just saying that Dita Von Teese—pasties, feathers and all—is a classy lady, and her latest class act involves delivering a check to the Bobby Goldsmith Foundation in Sydney, Australia. Dita is there as a spokesperson for the Mac AIDS Fund, which has raised the money through sales of it's VIVA Glam lipstick. There's more info available on
Dita's site, where she says:

"I might undress for a living but I love to dress up for sex! The ultimate tools of seduction might include silky seamed stockings, dangerously high stilettos, and perhaps a tightly-laced corset... but always a nice snug condom. Safe sex is sexy."

and shares this mind-blowing statistic: "One Viva Glam Lipstick will pay for 1000 condoms in India."

Dita cleans up before heading out to save the world:

What the hell does dating someone half your age have to do with anything in this story? Was that really necessary?

"I'm not here to ruffle any feathers or fire up any fanatics"

Then why bring up the Manson thing? I kind of doubt Dita was doing this to get one up on Manson. I'd say she was doing it because she actually gives a shit about the charity and the cause.

Dita has fabulous arches. I say this because everything else about her is obviously fabulous, and I wouldn't want her arches to get overshadowed. Fabulous. Arches.

Also she gives a shit about charity, yay!

Unless Manson was presented with two doors, a 19 year old actress behind one and a 100k charitable donation behind the other, and chose the former, the question at the beginning of the article seems rather... pointless.

Still, good on her for donating 100k to charity, and for being so fucking sexy in a champagne glass.

i love Dita. Shes very smart and obviously beautiful but i'm not a fan when people's charitable donations are put into print. its probably not generated from her but still...
