A fashion darling and innovator, Dita Von Teese, the International Queen of Burlesque, has secured her place in the international spotlight with her elegance, style and wit. She has been listed on prestigious best-dressed lists, including Harper & Queen's "Top Fashion Icons of the Year," and is a muse of haute couturiers. Following in the tradition of Gypsy Rose Lee, Dita's artful and provocative performances bring pin-up imagery to life. A trained ballerina, she is renowned for her traditional feather dance and her boudoir/bathtub show. Dita Von Teese has put sex back into polite conversation and rejoices in the overlap of the erotic and the fabulous. In 2005, she married alt-rocker Marilyn Manson, another performance artist. Her book, Burlesque The Art of the Teese/Fetish The Art of The Tees was published in 2006 (Regan Books/Harper Collins.) VIVA GLAM
