Dita Von Teese, the burlesque performer and wife of Marilyn Manson, redeemed herself partially in our eyes by admitting that her boobs are fake.
She says, "Why deny it? I'll always be very open about it. I hate it when people in the public eye aren't honest about any surgery that they've had."
I was annoyed with Dita a little over a month ago when she was quoted putting down other strippers and acting like hers was the only act in town. Doc pointed out that I have no clue about burlesque, and he was partially right. There's a difference between stripping and teasing, and in Dita's case it's to the tune of millions of dollars that can't just be stuffed in her panties.
Now she's admitted to surgery and that's a step in the non-bullshit direction. She still has much farther to go.
She says her job is "liberating" since she charges tens of thousands of dollars for an appearance, and that she's a sex symbol to both men and women. She also poo-poos the charges that she's setting back feminism:
"And as many women as men come to my shows. When I started my website in 1993, it was geared towards men. Now it has more female visitors - not necessarily lesbians, just young women interested in my style."
Dita, 33, who is married to rock star Marilyn Manson, thinks women are interested in her because they want tips on how they can become sexier to please their partners.
She added to Britain's The Times newspaper: "Most women want to be sex symbols, even if they don't admit it. Imagine being considered not for your mind but for how you look. Sort of fun, don't you think?"
There's all sorts of things wrong with that comment, and it could be considered downright nasty, if not ignorant and rude. There's nothing wrong with being sexy, but that doesn't mean that should be the only way you're evaluated in life. If that's the case then you're screwed no matter how sexy you are. It's not fun to be considered a piece of meat or an ornament. She might not have actually said this, though. It's attributed to The Times, but the quote sounds fake and is reprinted in a source that's not reliable.
In case you're a big Dita fan and think I'm being harsh, consider how many pictures I'm posting of her from various photoshoots. In the ladybug one she looks like a tranny. [via]

I hate fake breasts but for fake boobs those are beautiful. they did a good job and i bet she wasn't that small to begin with because they look fleshy...she was probably a B and went to a C or was a C and went to a D. (i don't know what size she is) its a good boob job.
I love Dita and I sort of ..think??...I know where she's coming from. She seems to be an extemely savvy business woman, a self promoter par excellence. She's not a natural beauty, it is ALL artifice and so I can understand how she would think its fun to be paid to be looked at; 'what a bunch of suckers, if they only knew what I really looked like' so to speak.
That said, she can put her foot in her mouth just as much as the next successful celebrity. I already know how to be sexy for my man thanx Dita!, and I wonder how open you'll be about cosmetic surgery when you start ageing and your neck and bum start heading south.
