Dita Von Teese Biography

Dita Von Teese (born Heather Ren'e Sweet on September 28, 1972 in Rochester, Michigan) is a popular American burlesque artist, and is generally credited as helping to revive the burlesque scene.

Von Teese has been fond of wearing elaborate lingerie such as corsets and stockings from a very young age, and, in her words, "puts the tease back into striptease" with long, complex dance shows complete with props and characters, often inspired by 1930's and 1940's musicals and films, of which Dita Von Teese is a fan.

Beginning in a lingerie store when Dita Von Teese was 13, Dita progressed to becoming a stripper when Dita Von Teese turned 19, and eventually, a fetish model. Dita Von Teese's retro pin-up look, frequently emulating Bettie Page in photo shoots, set her apart from most other fetish models of the day.

She was classically trained as a ballet dancer from age five, and is also a trained costume designer.

She was featured in Playboy magazine in 1999, 2001 and 2002.
