Dita Von Teese

She’s the world’s most sought-after burlesque dancer… perhaps because it’s a dying art and its originators have all died, too. Dita Von Teese is just that: She strips down to her skivvies but falls short of taking it ALL off (unless it’s for Playboy – she’s appeared in the mag more than 30 times). Dita was born on September 28, 1972, in Rochester, Michigan, grew up and did lesbian porn before honing her skills as an old-school dancer. If Marilyn Manson had not been banging her (their short marriage ended in ’07), would we even care about this pinup princess? Well, yes.
