Your lovely Star Trip writers were lucky enough to see this burlesque beauty live last night at the star studded bash in Bloomsbury Ballroom. The divine Dita teased and twirled for the audience as she did a seductive strip tease down from her sparkly to corest to shiny nipple tassels as she wiggled for our pleasure. There was a definite cowboy theme going on as she was surrounded by hot half naked men wearing tassels and cowboy hats ( which Kim from Catwalk Queen definitely approved of!).We were surprised by quite how tiny Dita is in person, a mere poppet, with the famous tiny waistline and dinky stature.
The MAC campaign donates all money from he sale of the Viva Glam gloss to HIV Charities, so you can pout and donate to a good cause simultaneously. Dita is a big fan of MAC products and shares her beauty advice with us. 'My number one tip is to 'wear the make up you want to wear and not necessarily what the beauty an fashion magazines tell you.'
She continued to elaborate on her performances, 'A lot of actresses tell me they like what I do Sharon Stone, Demi Moore, Jennifer Lopez and Eva Mendes have all said they like my act. Women are enjoying playing dress-up, finding a new version of what they think is sexy and embracing the spirit of glamour and the power that they have when they dress up. The whole idea of burlesque is you give your audience whether it's in a theatre or just your boyfriend or whatever only what you choose to give them.'
The burlesque movement is all about empowerment and bravado and allowing women to take control of their bodies in a positive way and that is a great ethos to live by.
