"I make a point to never, ever point out my physical flaws... this is advice I give to women as often as I can. People don't notice the things we see in ourselves that we hate, so why direct them to it?"
- Dita Von Teese
Recently I've wondered what is it that makes old hollywood starlets like Marilyn Monroe, Rita Hayworth, Judy Garland, Bettie Page, Audrey Hepburn, and many more so absolutely stunning. Whatever the secret was…Dita Von Teese definitely has it. I have been in love with vintage style since I was around fifteen & I have studied the supposedly makeup & hair rituals of these women. As much as the hair, makeup & clothing plays a huge part, I have come to know that charm & how you represent yourself is highly important too.
I've recently been watching interviews of old hollywood stars & noticing how a little is always more & there is a sense of mystery that forces us to want to know more.
I love this interview with her cars that I've attached below.
As many of you may know Dita Von Teese is the queen of burlesque & is recently on tour for her show, "Strip Strip Hooray!" Some people may say that she is just a stripper & what she is doing doesn't take talent & A lot of feminists find her to be degrading to woman, but I don't think that at all. In fact, she states in a lot of her interviews that her main fan base is woman. I find her to be very powerful & in touch with her sexuality.
Here's a video !
For me, Dita Von Teese gives me inspiration & reminds me that it's okay to feel different & in fact being different should make you feel powerful.
