| |
| Von Teese is well known for her fascination with 1940s cinema and classic retro style. This began at a young age and was fostered by her mother, who would buy clothes for her daughter to dress up in. Her mother was a fan of old, golden-era Hollywood films, and it was from her that Von Teese developed a fascination with the actresses of that day, especially [[Betty Grable]].
| |
|
| |
| She was classically trained as a ballet dancer from an early age, and danced solo at age thirteen for a local ballet company. Though she originally wanted to be a ballerina, Von Teese states that "By 15 I was as good as I’d ever be."<ref name="artteese"/> She was later to incorporate this element into her burlesque shows, where she frequently goes en pointe.
| |
|
| |
| The family relocated from Michigan to Orange County, California, when her father’s job moved.<ref name=TimesNakAmb/> Von Teese attended University High School in Irvine.<ref name="ocregister">{{cite web|url = http://www.ocregister.com/ocregister/life/features/lifestyle/article_1086656.php|title = Dita von Teese: Call her old-fashioned|accessdate = 2007-02-17|author = Katherine Nguyen|date = 2006-04-06|work = ocregister.com}}</ref>
| |
|
| |
| As a teenager, Von Teese’s mother took her to buy her first [[Brassiere|bra]], made from plain white cotton, and gave her a plastic egg containing a pair of wrinkly, flesh-colored tights.<ref name="ocregister"/> Von Teese says she was disappointed as she had been hoping to receive beautiful lacy garments and stockings, of the type she had glimpsed in her father’s ''[[Playboy]]'' magazines. This fueled her passion for lingerie. She worked in a [[lingerie]] store as a salesgirl when she was fifteen, eventually as a buyer. Von Teese has been fond of wearing elaborate lingerie such as [[corset]]s and basques with fully fashioned stockings ever since.
| |
|
| |
| In college, Von Teese studied historic costuming and aspired to work as a stylist for period films. She is a trained costume designer, often designing (and copyrighting) the photoshoots herself.<ref name="burlesqueisback">{{cite web|url = http://www.seattlepi.com/theater/160251_burlesque12.html|title = Burlesque is Back|accessdate = 2007-03-24|author = Kristen Dizon|date = 2004-02-12|work = seattlepi.com}}</ref>

| === Burlesque ===
| |
| Von Teese is best known for her burlesque routines and is frequently dubbed "the Queen of Burlesque"<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.vogue.com.au/fashion/show_coverage/2007/2007_2008_rafw_spring_summer/the_buzz/dita_von_teese_my_fashion_life|title = My Fashion Life: Dita Von Teese|accessdate = 2007-05-25|author = Melissa Maynard|date=2005-06-01|work=Vogue.com. |archiveurl = http://web.archive.org/web/20070503164544/http://www.vogue.com.au/fashion/show_coverage/2007/2007_2008_rafw_spring_summer/the_buzz/dita_von_teese_my_fashion_life <!-- Bot retrieved archive --> |archivedate = 2007-05-03}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.factio-magazine.com/womanofstyle/des_DitaVonTeese.cfm|title = Woman of Global Style: Dita Von Teese|accessdate = 2007-03-20|author = Isabelle-Marie Créac'h|work=Vogue.com |archiveurl = http://web.archive.org/web/20070309154648/http://www.factio-magazine.com/womanofstyle/des_DitaVonTeese.cfm <!-- Bot retrieved archive --> |archivedate = 2007-03-09}}</ref> in the press.

In her own words, she "puts the tease back into striptease" with long, elaborate dance shows with props and characters, often inspired by 1930s and 1940s musicals and films. Some of her more famous dances have involved a carousel horse, a giant powder compact, a filigree heart and a clawfoot bathtub with a working shower head. Her feather fan dance, inspired by burlesque dancer [[Sally Rand]], featured the world’s largest feather fans, now on display in Hollywood’s Museum Of Sex.<ref name="burlesque">{{cite web|url = http://www.dita.net/shows.php|title = Dita Von Teese – Shows and Performances|accessdate = 2007-05-28|work = Dita.net}}</ref> Her signature show features a giant martini glass.

| Her burlesque career has included some memorable performances. She once appeared at a benefit for the New York Academy of Art wearing nothing but $5 million worth of diamonds.<ref name="diamonds">[http://www.queerty.com/diamonds-are-a-queens-best-friend-20051018/ Diamonds Are a Queen's Best Friend], ''Queerty'', October 18, 2005.

In 2007, Von Teese performed at the adult entertainment event Erotica 07 in London alongside Italian rock noir band Belladonna.
| |
|
| |
| Von Teese's first book, which consisted of her opinions on the history of burlesque and fetish, ''Burlesque and the Art of the Teese/Fetish and the Art of the Teese'', was published in 2006 by HarperCollins. ''Vanity Fair'' called her "a Burlesque Superheroine."

| === Acting ===
| |
| Von Teese is also an occasional actress. In her early years she appeared in fetish-related, soft-core pornographic movies, such as ''Romancing Sara'', ''Matter of Trust'', in which she is billed as Heather Sweet, and also in two hard-core fetish films by [[Andrew Blake]]: ''Pin Ups 2''<ref>[http://www.thenewsvault.com/cgi/news.pl?t=1359 Dita Von Teese Lesbian Sex Video Surfaces].

|
| |
| In recent years she has appeared in more mainstream features, such as the 2005 short film, ''The Death of Salvador Dali'', written by Delaney Bishop, which won best screenplay and best cinematography at recent festivals, including SXSW, Raindance Film Festival and Mill Valley Film Festival and Best Actress for Von Teese at Beverly Hills Film Festival. She appeared in the feature films ''Saint Francis'' and ''The Boom Boom Room'', both in 2007.

| However, Von Teese has said that acting is not at the top of her agenda and she would only take roles that she feels are right for her, stating, "I don’t understand why women feel the need to go into acting as soon as they become famous… But I suppose if the part were aesthetically correct, then maybe I could consider it."<ref>{{cite news|url = http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jhtml?xml=/opinion/2006/02/18/dp1801.xml|title = Spy: Not an Act|accessdate = 2007-05-27|author = Jonathan Isaby|work = Telegraph | location=London |archiveurl = http://web.archive.org/web/20071025075547/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jhtml?xml=/opinion/2006/02/18/dp1801.xml <!-- Bot retrieved archive --> |archivedate = 2007-10-25}}</ref>

| In spite of this, Von Teese states that she never uses a stylist. "The one time I hired a stylist, they picked up a pair of my 1940s shoes and said, 'These would look really cute with jeans.’ I immediately said, 'You’re out of here.'"

| Marilyn Manson had been a long time fan, and was a member of her website. They first met when he asked her to dance in one of his music videos. Though she was unable to, the two kept in contact.

Manson proposed on March 22, 2004 and gave her a 1930s, 7-carat (1.4 g), European round-cut diamond engagement ring. On November 28, 2005, they were married in a private, non-denominational ceremony in their home.

| A larger ceremony was held on December 3 at Gurteen Castle in Kilsheelan (County Tipperary), Ireland, the home of their friend, Gottfried Helnwein. The wedding was officiated by surrealist film director and comic book writer Alejandro Jodorowsky.

In an interview with ''The Daily Telegraph'', Von Teese says "I wasn’t supportive of his partying or his relationship with another girl. As much as I loved him I wasn’t going to be part of that." Von Teese also stated that she gave Manson an ultimatum, but says "It didn’t work.
