Dita Von Teese


Nuedi Readers! I was watching Last Call with Carson Daily the other night and he had an interview with Dita Von Teese (pictured above to get you in the holiday spirit). They seemed to know each other from before, judging by the conversation. She is a fascinating person who really seems to enjoy what she does (burlesque). She was mainly promoting her new book, "Dita: Stripteese" which is out now (Amazon has it). I really like the format of the book, which is in fact three tiny flip books. She said that the idea for the format belonged to photographer Sheryl Nields and explained that the tiny flip book was used in the past so that people could hide them easily, an interesting fact. She also mentioned that she is friends with Lady Gaga and that she ran into her in Paris where they dined together. Lady Gaga was wearing nothing but a latex panty and bra set! She said that Lady Gaga doesn't do things like that for attention or notoriety, but because like herself, she just enjoys dressing that way. I always got the same vibe from her as well from what I've seen through the media, which is why I think she's so terrific. I think society kind of celebrates those of us who are brave enough to not care what the rest think, but usually only after the person has been through the ringers.
