With the release of her self-titled debut album that Dita has made with French composer Sébastien Tellier, it's Dita adding another string to her silk stockinged bow.
Dita Von Teese was born Heather Renée Sweet in West Branch, Michigan, to a machinist father and manicurist mother in 1972. Classically trained as a ballet dancer – until at 15 she realized she'd never be a great ballerina – Dita's passion for vintage lingerie, obsession with glamour and the Golden Age of Cinema, led her in another direction. The natural blonde would come to transform herself into the dark haired and porcelain-skinned, world renowned haute provocateur we know and love today.
