Sex up your style


The modern day pinup brings back the art of burlesque.

Dita Von Teese seems to be in a class all her own – in an entertainment scene that seems to be ruled by stick-thin physiques and tights worn as pants, this burlesque superstar is bringing an old Hollywood sense of style to the spotlight.



Originally, Von Teese was an avid practiser of ballet and wanted to be a ballerina. While this plan fell through, her background in dancing would later help her onstage during her burlesque shows.

nspired by past stars such as Bettie Page and Gypsy Rose Lee, Von Teese wasted no time in starting her career as soon as she was old enough. After working in a lingerie shop in high school

and studying costume design in college, she picked a new name after German actress Dita Parlo.
