Stop the Tease

Dita in Inked Magazine March '09

Dita Von Teese recently interviewed with Inked magazine for their March issue. The interviewer asked some compelling questions, not the typical crap journalists are always asking. (Although the questions about her ex-husband, Marilyn Manson, seem to still apply even though they’ve been divorced for what? 2 years now? Jeez, let the girl forget her mistake!) Anyway, one question had me raising my eyebrows:

Q. What do you think of L.A. “burlesque” groups like the Pussycat Dolls?

A. I did a lot of shows with them, but I had a lot of legal issues with their creator over the years. It’s so far removed from what it originally was. I think it’s really great they decided to become a pop group and they’ve left the pseudo-burlesque alone. It drives me crazy when the media or groups like the Pussycat Dolls try to sanitize and take away the sexual and nudity aspects of burlesque. I’m sorry, but if you’re not up there taking your clothes off and dancing around in pasties and a G-string, it’s not burlesque. It can be cabaret, or it can be cute and funny and retro-showgirly, but it’s not burlesque. They were strippers, and that’s the way it was.

Well, finally! I’m so glad someone said it. Even better that Dita has, since she is the reigning queen of burlesque. I’m so tired of psuedo-burlesque scene queens and wannabe pin-up girls! So much so that I started this blog.

When did it become okay for women to tease? If I’m going to throw down some hard-earned cash on entrance fees, website memberships and tickets to your show, I’d like to at least see some tits.

I remember when Dita first came on the scene (or, rather when she went mainstream) all of these burlesque troops popped up in major cities everywhere. I suppose I should be happy the burlesque revival is getting a lot of media attention, but it became a watered down version of the original somewhere along the way. What should be a full-on strip tease out of Mr. Pearl corsets and 100% real nylon stockings has become a group of wannabes in Hot Topic lingerie and go-go boots pretending to be lesbians and giving each other spankings. Borrring!

Dita, you’ve set the bar too high!

Ps. Does anyone else find it funny that a magazine about tattoos does a feature on someone whose only tattoo is a beauty mark? I’m not knocking her tattoo, it’s really cute. I’d get one if I didn’t already have a beauty mark.

Secrets in Lace: Dita’s Brand of Stockings

I’m sure you’ve heard by now that Dita has her own stockings brand. But where to buy them? Secrets in Lace of course! In fact, Secrets in Lace has the largest selection of full fashioned stockings in the world!

But what are the advantages of wearing full fashioned stockings?

Anyone who has worn regular stockings with stretch lycra and faux seams, even for just a few hours, knows how hard it is to keep those seams straight. It can get annoying having to constantly fix your stockings. Full fashioned stockings are more stable and your seams will stay straight. Remember they are made of non-stretch nylon, therefore they do not stretch! They are shaped to the leg and you will need to buy the proper size for your leg, else if you stretch them, they will start to slide down. You will be able to tell the difference between real nylon stockings and shitty .99 cent store lycra stockings!

Secrets in Lace brand is not available in stores. They’ve resisted requests from large retailers and only sell by catalog and their website. Dita Von Teese herself is a customer, and chose the brand to create her line because she trusted the company’s knowledge and experience with full fashioned stockings.

From Askmen.com:

Q. What made you want to do your own line of signature stockings, your Secrets In Lace Dita Collection?

A. “I have been obsessed with seamed stockings my whole life, and I would collect vintage ones that were made in the ’40s and ’50s with the authentic styling of the keyhole, the welt, the reinforced toe and heels, French or Cuban heels, and hand-stitched seams. I can’t stand faux-seamed stockings with lycra — you lose the sensual feeling of the fabric. So, I began shopping with Secrets In Lace, and together we made the ultimate fancy-styled seamed stocking.”

The website offers Dita’s brand of stockings in five different sizes (P, S, M, L, Opera) in French Heel (Black or Beige) and Glamour French Heel (Beige or Grey).

But what makes this store different?

Secrets in Lace’s full fashioned nylon stockings are manufactured on the same machines used in the 40’s and 50’s, and made in the same way – they are knit flat and sewn together with a backseam. The finishing hole and imprint found on the welt complete the glamorous stockings. Fans of sheer stockings will be thrilled to learn that Secrets in Lace also has the largest selection of finer denier stockings (10 denier and 7 denier). Secrets in Lace also has the only true 10 denier fully fashioned stockings in the world. With a variety of heel styles and reinforcements, anyone can find exactly what he or she is looking for.

Dita ‘Shocked’ That Americans Think Burlesque Is So Taboo

Exclusive: Dita Von Teese ‘Shocked’ That Americans Think Burlesque Is So Taboo

LOS ANGELES

Plus why females prefer to watch her strip over males

Dita Von Teese is hands-down the most in-demand burlesque belle on the face of the earth – and even though she’s practically considered royalty across Europe thanks to her chic, choreographed dance/stripping routines, she can’t understand why so many in her native America still have so many reservations toward “burlesque” as an art form.

“I don’t mean to America bash, but it is interesting that burlesque is an American invention. Burlesque as we know it and the great burlesque that was prevalent in America in the 30’s and 40’s in big theaters with big stars that were in the movies and on TV and wrote books. It’s shocking to imagine it is now 75 years later and people are still saying ‘I don’t get it, she’s a stripper,’” Von Teese told Tarts at the Samuel French bookshop in Studio City on Friday night where she was signing copies of her new flip-book “Dita Stripteese.”

“I don’t mind being called [that] because that is what I do, but I don’t understand why there is such a taboo attached to it. Basically what I do is like an actress that has nude scenes in a movie, it’s part of the role and its part of what my show is. It’s not really any different. I think it’s just too easy for people to criticize.”

SLIDESHOW: The Lovely and Talented Dita Von Teese.

And while Teese said she’s had to overcome numerous critics since starting her shows in underground strip clubs in her early 20’s, these days most of her fans are actually female.

“When I first started doing what I do, a lot of my fans were men. A lot of them were comic book fans, Bettie Page fans and into that sort of thing. It is interesting the way it has shifted and the majority of my fans are women now. Probably 80 percent, but I can see why,” Teese explained. “I started thinking about that more over past several years why that is and I think a lot of women like to see another kind of sex symbol that doesn’t fit into the blonde, tanned, California beach babe beauty. I can never fit into that role so I think there are other women like me that say ‘no, me neither’ and there are things that make us feel good about ourselves. I don’t need to have a tan to feel sexy. It’s not like you have to have these things, a lot of women see what I do and the way that I portray sensuality is another version. It’s the opposite of all of that, you can put on red lipstick and put on black gloves and you can curl your hair and play dress-up. Then if you’re tired of it you can just get rid of it. It is not like you have to go to a tanning salon and do all these things to make yourself a certain way, it’s something you can try on and leave.”

Speaking of looks, here’s something we don’t hear everyday in Tinseltown: Teese actually likes looking older!

“When I’m scrubbed clean people can’t even consider that I’m the same girl. I get a lot younger, everything thinks I’m about 23,” she added. “People say that don’t understand why I wear all that makeup because it makes me look so older but I never had the intention of looking younger. In fact I always wanted to be older than I was.”

So when does the 37-year-old starlet and ex-wife of Marilyn Manson feel the most fabulous?

“I feel sexy when I’m in love and with somebody that thinks I’m the best thing ever with or without all my hair and makeup, when I’m just totally myself,” Teese said. “I feel sexy when I’m having fun whether its on stage and having fun and I think its hilarious that I’m doing what I do or whether I’m with my friends and family that really know me. It’s all about your degree of confidence and how much fun you have in your life.”
