BitchStory Lesson 36 - Hot Bitch Alert! Dita Von Teese

And now for something completely different!  We cover a lot of serious stuff here, and whenever women are overlooked, let alone repressed/oppressed, it is serious.  But some of the women we cover are badasses because they ushered in a new era and they probably didn't even know it.  We know our audience loves the funny ladies and the lighter content, because the stats show it.  So for your naked education, we are pleased to present Dita Von Teese.   Dita is, we would argue, solely responsible for the huge resurgence in Burlesque in the US since around 2000.   Nothing too deep here, just a hot, half naked badass lady in a giant champagne glass.   Burlesque originated in the mid 1800's, and has undergone the usual evolutions with society.  Body appreciation and a "love it or leave it" attitude has been coursing through feminist communities for a decade or more, gaining major prominence on Instagram.  The Burlesque art form has been a lover of all body shapes for quite awhile.  Dita herself is the definition of the perfect woman by traditional standards, but she is a badass because she's inspired so many people to embrace their sexiness regardless -  "I've always loved the idea of not being what people expect me to be. Anyone who thinks that being young and beautiful is more important than having something to say is wrong. I make a point to never, ever point out my physical flaws… this is advice I give to women as often as I can."  “You can be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world, and there's still going to be somebody who hates peaches.” ― Dita Von Teese So we hope this episode helps you to embrace your unique peach. (All the puns intended).  https://superstarsbio.com/bios/dita-von-teese/
