Zitat des Tages von Dita Von Teese:
I was really, really shy when I was a little girl.
My beauty icons are women whose images are self-created.
As a little girl growing up in a small farming town in Michigan, my idols were women like Marlene Dietrich and Rita Hayworth.
I was always intrigued by the idea of bringing things together that are considered taboo or risque and bringing them together with something of high elegance and sophistication.
Thanks to my mother, people tell me I look younger than I am, especially without make-up. And I suppose my father had a part in making me more frugal with my money.
I don't feel I have an alter ego.
I have a lot of Burberry items at home, including one dress that I loved so much that I had my living room painted to match because the color was so flattering.
Don't underestimate the cosmetic power of sunglasses. It's worth spending a bit of money on a quality pair. I usually go for Dior or Louis Vuitton.
I'm more of an exaggerator than a liar.
I started dressing vintage when I was a teenager because I didn't have money for designer clothes.
I think the beauty looks I most regret are those I was persuaded into.
I really enjoy watching people like Madonna, or Cher, or Barbra Streisand on the red carpet. I want to see people wearing exciting things that are different and to know that they're not just looking for the latest, most normal thing.
I'm not always in a full face of make-up! That's actually one of the things I like about make-up - that you can strip it away and show your vulnerability.
I feel better about myself when I look my best. I always find the time to put on my powder and do my chignon.
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?
So I have the green smoothie every day for breakfast, and then sometimes even for lunch too, and then I have a normal dinner.
I love glamour and artificial beauty. I love the idea of artifice and dressing up and makeup and hair.
But I'm not the girl who changes into flats because my feet are tired at the end of the night. I go the distance. I go all the way.
Yes, but more than being a designer, I'm more of a stylist, because I don't sew and I don't sketch, but I'm good at putting things together, choosing things that are chic and glossing over the aesthetics of things.
Well, when I was fifteen years old I worked in a lingerie store and that's how I feel in love with vintage lingerie because I wanted to know the history of it.
