It HUGE or she's tiny, or both. It makes her look like a dressed up toddler.If you've got an extra 35 G's jingling in your pocketbook, you can own Dita's '46 Ford convertible coupe.
Nice car, but without the Dita connection it wouldn't be $35,000 worth of nice. I'm afraid that when I think of a '46 Ford convertible, I think of Phil Silvers driving one into a river in "It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World."
Yes, she is much more interesting when attired.I think I'd be more interested in what she's wearing than what she's, well, not wearing on stage!
I saw Dita's show in Paris on Sky Arts a couple of weeks ago - I had seen some parts of her routine - the martini glass - and some still photos also so I had a bit of an idea of what she does. To be honest I found the show a bit dull - it didn't really do a whole lot for me - maybe having heard so many people wax lyrical about it I expected something amazing. Or maybe Burlesque just isn't my thing. I do love her look and think she always looks so well but I think I'd be more interested in what she's wearing than what she's, well, not wearing on stage!

I can't believe I said that.....
I very much enjoy a good bit of neo-burlesque. I've never seen her live, though on video at least her performances don't strike me as particularly interesting; I know at least half a dozen performers personally who I find much more original and creative. That said, she does what she does and she has made it very popular. It's interesting to see how she has, to an extent, mainstreamed the marketing of the whole thing and established herself as a brand.
Yes - she really has established herself as THE Burlesque star and is very much a brand now. I just thought she seemed like she was going through the motions in the show - it was all a bit clinical or something.
Both. I'm reliably informed by friends who have seen her in person that Ms Von Tease really is very petite.... and I've never seen an American car built much before 1970 that wasn't the size of a Routemaster.
The media constantly referring to her as "the Queen of Burlesque" and all that really annoys me, but I do try not to blame her for that - I well know how the media seeks to dumb everything down into soundbites.
That's true - they have to find someone to be the ultimate whatever and when they're not doing that they are busy finding "The next [ ]".
The only other Burlesque performer that I know by name is Immodesty Blaize - I've seen her in magazines and on tv and she's very beautiful - and having seen her doing fashion spots on tv and being interviewed I would find her infinitely more engaging than Dita.

I haven't seen that movie since I was a child!Nice car, but without the Dita connection it wouldn't be $35,000 worth of nice. I'm afraid that when I think of a '46 Ford convertible, I think of Phil Silvers driving one into a river in "It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World."
You can be a juicy, ripe peach and there's still going to be someone who doesn't like peaches, so you can either submit to someone's criticism of you, or you can get on with the business of being your own amazing self who attracts other like-minded people that appreciate you.
A bit late to the conversation, but I just wanted to add that I have seen both Dita and Immodesty perform live and Immodesty is far more exciting. I'd like to add too, that believe it or not, Dita has grown leaps and bounds as a performer and is not nearly as dull as she used to be.
