Learning the art of Teese


Learning the art of Teese

She has been teased fans for years with her provocative performances - now Marilyn Manson's wife is telling us to get in on the act. The new Queen of Burlesque Dita Von Teese has been revealing the secrets to her retro style in her new book The Art of Teese. The 33-year-old pin-up whose real name is Heather Sweet shares her life story along with intimate and often bizarre pictures in a book she hopes will become coffee-table reading. Dita, who boasts an impressive 16-inch corseted waist, also revealed she goes to great lengths to stay as pale as her rocker husband. She hopes to be a role model to other women, telling them they don't need to fit the role fashion magazines dictate to them. Her advice is: 'Think about what your best qualities are and play them up instead of trying to change yourself.'
