The Science of Sexy



If you are unaware of who this lovely creature is, enligthen yourself immediately! Dita Von Teese is a pinup star, model actress and burlesque dancer, and can basically be compared to the modern day Bettie Page. Dita has an exquisite fashion sense, which I have featured below.









Dita Von Teese is committed to total glamour at all times and I fully respect her for it. Check out her Wonderbra commercial which is preposterous yet splendid.

a legend lost





50's Pinup girl and Model Bettie Page died yesterday at the age of 85 in Los Angeles. Growing up I was aware of her as an icon in fashion, film and fringe history, due to her unique look and undeniable presence. But I didn't truly know who she was until watching the fantastic film about the early part of her life "The Notorious Bettie Page ." The New York Times does the factual aspects of her life better justice than I ever could, and WOMEN Model Management's blog has a great post of model Mina Cvetkovic as "Betty Page" but wanted to mention this charismatic and enigmatic woman now that she's gone.
