Dita Von Teese opens up in Inked Magazine (not a fan of the cover with the fox…sorry for posting it) about a number of things including the ex, Marilyn Manson’s regret, the art of burlesque, lingerie, and what she’s looking for in a man now (which, btw are looks) and of course tattoos:

INKED: Interesting that even when you’re not performing, you’re still decked out in vintage wear.

DITA VON TEESE: This is a lifestyle for me, and it always has been. It’s not like I get home and suddenly I’m wearing sweatpants or an Adidas tracksuit because no one’s looking. It’s not a complete switch-around. There’s not a Heather Sweet and then a Dita Von Teese. It’s all kind of one thing. It’s been too long. The lines are blurred.

How did you feel about the passing of Bettie Page, one of your biggest idols? We’ve lost yet another great 20th century icon. Without women like Bettie Page, who dared to be different all those decades ago, there would be no pinup or burlesque revival. I’ll never forget the first time I saw her unforgettable and unusual pinup image. She had a special way of combining erotic fetishism and pinup playfulness with a little wink of the eye. She certainly inspired me.

Which tattoo shop is responsible for your beauty mark? It was this really famous tattoo shop in Fullerton, CA, called Classic Tattoo Studio. I was 17. It’s where all the rockabillies-Mike Ness and everybody-had their tattoos done.

Was it the first time they’d done that? Oh yeah. Nobody goes in there asking for a beauty mark. You have to understand that I was pretty eccentric. I was always drawing hearts and stars in that spot. I went in thinking I wanted a star there, but they wouldn’t do it. They were like, “We’re not putting a star on your face.” They were the voice of reason.

Are you glad they talked you out of it? Yeah! They were so right. In the early ’90s I almost got seams up the backs of my legs, but I’m so glad I didn’t. Can you imagine how hard it would be to match up the seams with real stockings? It would be a nightmare. It’s very popular now. At that time, I was researching everything about the ’40s, about how during World War II women would draw seams on. I thought, Wouldn’t that be cool? I had them henna tattooed on, but I never went all the way.

Natasha Richardson, the daughter of Vanessa Redgrave, wife of Liam Neeson and mom to Michael and Daniel has died from the head injuries she sustained when she fell during skiing in Montreal this week.

The 45 year old actress had been married to Liam for 15 years where she met him during her New York stage debut in Anna Christie.  She also won a Tony Award in 1998 for Cabaret.   Natasha was also an accomplished cook being known for throwing lavish dinner parties as well as appearing as a guest judge on Top Chef.

I still can’t believe this is true it is so tragic.  Her and Liam seemed to have that ‘normal’ type of marriage and family that is such a anomaly in Hollywood.  There were pictures of Liam and her mother arriving back at their Manhattan residence after she had passed and you can see just how sad and shocked Liam is.  I can not imagine what he is going through. 

Our deepest condolences to her family.  RIP.

Ha ha ha….yes I’m a grown woman going to see Britney Spears.  And no, I don’t have daughters!! I can’t wait I am so excited.  So that means no more posts for me today as I have to get ready and then head downtown to meet my girlfriend for dinner!

I will try to take pictures, and maybe even Twitter  from down at the concert.  If you don’t hear from me, you will tomorrow!! And if you aren’t following me on Twitter now, I would love it if you did.  It’s highly addicting and doesn’t add calories!!

Have a good evening everyone.
