Dita Von Teese is a star of burlesque; the queen of the corseted powder-puff vintage belles, though she admits her curves have been boosted by a boob job. Her real name is Heather Sweet and she says she got interested in lingerie and ladyshapes by reading her Dad’s copies of Playboy. She once got married to Marilyn Manson, but, like most people’s interest in burlesque, it didn’t last long. The divorce papers blamed “irreconcilable differences” - perhaps the fact she actually quite liked daylight and oxygen.
