If you love retro, then you absolutely must love fabulous retro goddess Dita Von Teese. With her old Hollywood looks and wit, it’s easy to see why a lot of retro fans love her. Here are 3 reasons why you should too:
1. She’s a fashion inspiration. If you love retro, then you know you love her style. She knows her own mind, too and she’s never let anyone else dictate what her sartorial fashion should be. As a Burlesque dancer, she understands style and stagecraft. That kind of careful attention is exactly what she brings to her shows. Her creativity is really her selling point. It’s not only because she has the body and boldness to make the choices she does in terms of clothes. It’s that she has the creativity and imagination to find just the right combination of these to create that look, that illusion that she’s the world’s sexiest pin up or the most glorious woman—in just a pair of panties and sunglasses.
2. “I advocate glamour. Every day. Every minute.” How could you not love someone so irrepressibly glamorous about being glamorous? In interviews, she doesn’t have a glam squad. Instead, she genuinely enjoys the time she spends on fixing her hair or doing her own make-up. That sends out a message to all women: that it’s still all about being true to who you are. She certainly is! Not a lot of people would have the imagination and courage, let alone the brains, to create a brand in the same compelling way she did and continues to do. And that’s sexy because you know it’s not all about her looks—though that should account for a major portion of her fanbase. When she talks about glamour, it becomes this whole package, one that not only includes a 16-inch corseted waist but also includes the elements of class and intelligence.
3. She’s got wit. “You can be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world and there’s still going to be somebody who hates peaches.” That’s another favorite quote from America’s favorite Big Teese. With looks, confidence and humor, what’s not to love? Her views, especially on men and relationships, are witty and present us with a retro icon who isn’t afraid of saying what’s on her mind. That, we believe, is her true strength: that she doesn’t set out to please anyone. In an age where women are still told how to behave, not to be too sexy or be sexy only in a particular way, Dita Von Teese doesn’t follow the rules. That’s not only encouraging for a lot of women out there who still find it a struggle to be comfortable in their own skin—it’s profoundly liberating.
