Dita Von Teese has consistently shat on burlesque and pin-up…she even made herself famous and a poster girl for the shit in the 90s…when this shit was done in every city by fat local rockabilly chicks who might as well have been lesbians…and who you encouraged to not striptease but to instead put on some fucking Elvis the fat years in Vegas jumper…cuz the 50s are alright…as long as you’re not 50 pounds overweight…kinda thing…
Seriously, it’s like every ugly chick with nautical stars and a sacred heart tattoo and a beer belly…with wild hair was down to get in a corset and get on stage…and I don’t know if that’s still going on…I’ve tried to ignore it…
But Dita…she was the Phoenix who rose from the ashes….she had a website before websites existed….got the attention of Playboy and the rest is fucking history…she went for early internet Burlesque girl…cuz they rest were too busy eating and working call centers….and now she’s deemed some “artist”….and the whole thing is just one big good timing lie….but she still brings it…she plays it up…and even in Flaunt…pushing 40…she’s at it…with her nipple pasties and vintage lingerie….it never ends with this discount bargain basement betty page….and I think you like it…
