Who else could have reduced her waistline from 21inches to 16? Who can be both a stripper and a celebrity? Who can live up to the tile as the most elegant slut of America?
The answer is of course Dita Von Tesse .
Look at these pictures. Don’t they remind you of those old Hollywood films?
Yes, Dita is known for her fascination with 1940s cinema and classic retro style, which began at a young age when she was still an ordinary young girl in Michigan. The actress of that time deeply influenced her style of dress and makeup, especially two Betty- Betty Grable and Betty Page, especially this Betty with dark curly long hair.
In 1990s, inspired by Betty Page, Dita decided to be a glamour girl like those she admired. Red lips, fair skins, black big waves, vintage clothing and her incredibly thin waist gradually extinguished her in vogue field.
But it was her most famous Martini glass show in 1996 that really brought her into the center of the entertainment industry. She took audience on a journey into fantasy and spectacle by her dazzling performances as you can see in the picture.
This champagne shower striptease made her the biggest name in what we call burlesque, a genre of performance. She is said to have helped revive the new burlesque with her series of long, elaborate dance shows, especially her famous feather fan dance and martini glass show.
Since then, she toured around North America and Europe with personal performances, which attracted a bunch of celebrities of upper class, including royals. By the way, she performed her classic glass show in Beijing in 2009. It’s her very first show in China.
In 2002, Dita von Teese got on the cover of Playboy, in which she was called “the return of fetish”. The same year, she was invited to the fashion event hold by Louis Vuitton in Las Vegas. This is usually thought to be a breakthrough in her career life, which marked the change of her role from a stripper to a fashion star.
In the year of 2006, she published her first book The Performance Art of Striptease. From the title we can see, she had totally redefined her occupation since then, not a stripper, but an artist.
In addition to her burlesque shows, Dita is a self-styled fashion icon who tops best-dressed lists all over the world and also has her own distinct brands. She is a pretty successful entrepreneur, selling stockings, costumes and perfumes on her own website.
She has already become a legend.
She redefined what a stripper could be and really takes this as a career. And she has done an awful a lot to be the best. She has been wearing corset for many years, to keep her waist as thin as it could be. It’s not a very comfortable thing to wear. To keep in shape is like her life priority all the time.
You might say that no matter how successful she is---- a stripper is a stripper. But what’s good about her is that, no matter what you think of her, she just carries on and be herself.
