Who is this woman? She's everywhere. Why does she look like that? She goes to events and things and does photo shoots. Why? There's even a Facebook group called Dita Von Teese is a work of art. Really? What is she famous for? What does she do? Questions, questions, so many unanswered questions.
A quick trip to Wikipedia tells me that Dita Von Teese is a burlesque dancer. What's a burlesque dancer? It's "a humorous theatrical entertainment involving parody and sometimes grotesque exaggeration." Burlesque later became associated with stripteasing. Gotcha.
Wiki also tells me that she was fascinated with retro style as a child. Hence her appearance. She began her career in a strip club. She later went on to pose for "fetish magazine covers," "fetish -related, soft-core pornographic movies, and Playboy. It was her appearances in Playboy that "finally won her father's respect for her profession". Oh, that's nice.
Fun facts: she's the one who came up with the idea of stripping in a martini glass. Interesting! So that's where that came from! She also was married to Marilyn Manson, ew. I feel so stupid for not knowing all this; apparently she's been around for a while. Hey, you learn something new everyday.
