Dita Von Teese
Nude

As Heather Sweet was growing up in small town Michigan, the naturally blonde stunner worshiped Betty Grable and Gypsy Rose Lee. She dreamed of a glamorous, barely clad life onstage before a gaggle of ga-ga guys. In her all-grown-up incarnation, the mysterious, slim-waisted beauty dyed her hair dark and reinvented herself as Dita Von Teese, the queen of burlesque. Beginning her career as a professional peeler at the tender age of nineteen, she eschewed the usual thong and pasty stripper gear in favor of corsets, vintage stockings, and elbow-length gloves. Dita’s unique style and eye-popping, show-stopping stage tricks — such as shimmying in a giant martini glass — landed her in the pages of Playboy as well as in such skintastic films as Romancing Sara (1995). In Matter Of Trust (1998), Dita ditches her feather fans and corsets and puts on a show during a kinky romp with C. Thomas Howell. In Saint Francis (2009), she plays a madam for high class sex workers. We love it when this sensual siren is in charge! Once again, we get to see her hard, naughty nips, and they’re everything we’d hoped for! Now separated from one-time husband/ full-time Antichrist Marilyn Manson, the future is rosy for those who need-a more Dita. In addition to more movies in the pipeline, she has taken to publishing books with such racy titles as Burlesque and the Art of the Teese. This head-turner is a real page-turner, and the thing we obviously love best about Dita is that she’s no Teese!
