I have always been fascinated with Burlesque, especially since the movie with Cher and Christina Aguilera came out. So i did some digging of my own and found information about Dita Von Tesse "Queen of Burlesque". Dita is famous for her striptease performances, her style is based on the 40s, also known as Vintage.

Dita Von Teese is a genuine Fashion icon and  is a Burlesque dancer, model, costume designer, author and actress. She is one of a few people who have her own signature looks, apart from Lady Gaga.

Dita's is known for her signature complexion: Pale skin, winged eyes, defined cheek-bone and bold red lipstick. Her style is timeless and "outdated" is never a part of her vocabulary.

Her distinctive look and immaculate presentation once inspired by the 1940s and 1950s styles that she adored growing up, Dita has appeared in numerous high fashion magazines such as Vogue, Elle and spotted at the most significant fashion shows across the world.

Von Teese began performing Burlesque in 1992 and, as a fan of New Burlesque, has helped to popularize its revival. In her own words, she puts the “tease” back into “striptease" with the use of long, elaborate dance shows with props and characters, often inspired by 1930s and 1940s musicals and films. Some of her more famous dances have involved a carousel horse, a giant powder compact and a filigree heart.

Her Burlesque career has included some memorable performances. She once appeared at a benefit for the New York Academy of Art, wearing nothing but $5 million worth of diamonds. Additionally, she became the first guest star to perform at the Parisian Crazy Horse cabaret club with her appearance in October 2006, as well as her appearance on an episode of America’s Next Top Model. This included a cycle 7 workshop where she taught contestants about sexiness by means of burlesque dancing and posing.
