“Even on those days when you’re feeling the most beautiful, not everyone is going to agree. They may never. It requires a certain courage, a certain craziness, to be able to live life without compromise, to step out the door and risk ridicule. When someone calls another individual ugly, all I see is that the one doing the insulting becomes instantly less beautiful. Consider it a compliment to be mocked for being beautiful; energy is never expended on mediocrity.” -- Dita von Teese

"What's the occasion? The occasion is life!". Love it.

I love that the male host was un-self conscious and direct with his questions and attitude regarding "feminine" interests like beauty, fashion, and lingerie. I've noticed that many males in this situation subtly degrade the subject or low-key distance themselves from the subject with "jokes" or a certain kind of attitude to preserve their male identity. He treated Dita, her career, and her interests as valid and worthy of interest.

She’s the living embodiment of authenticity, sexy intelligence, class, art, elegance, timelessness and womanhood. All in one package. And as Dita said, it’s hard to find all that in one package. Dita is a living legend. An inspiration that anyone can be glamorous. And for that I’ll always love her ❤️

Her posture is incredible!

"What's the occasion? The occasion is life"! You go girl, that's one great affirmation indeed! 😉

Best thing about Dita is she likes what she likes and doesn't follow trends.

She said in another interview, that after a breakup she takes on a new hobby to distract herself. So fencing. Cool.

You can tell the interviewer is just smitten with her energy. ✨👑

She is more feminine than the majority of the women I've known all my life. She inspires me so much!

she is so classy and feminine and powerful. true femininity i love her and i love this interview

I love her so much and this interviewer was wonderful! Insightful questions and he really listened to her answers and participated authentically in the conversation.

"We're ALL wearing drag.." Nailed it. Love you Dita xXx

The feminine mystique, means...we don't always have to answer a question honestly, there can be a little mystery, by asking another question back to our partner.

Oh I plan to get her book Idk how long ago it was written but I want it to recreate my natural beauty back especially being diagnosed with cancer last March, I've lost my hair twice and my complexion has changed as well I still moisturize and take vitamins and added a few more so still working inside out I want to see if her and I have the same beauty mindset plus I'm going to be 56

Dita can make the most shallow subject sound deeply intellectual and sincerely felt! This is not irony, it's my take on Dita.

Dress for the occasion, and the occasion is life! I love her

This is honestly one of the best interviews with Dita that I've ever seen. The gentleman conducting it asked questions that were intelligent and thoughtful, and he truly paid attention to her responses as well. In so many interviews with Dita, she's asked silly questions, the interviewer isn't listening to her responses, there's too much fangirling going on (which isn't offensive, but does limit the depth of the conversation), or the person either has an agenda, or has an attitude suggesting that they're either jealous of Dita, or threatened by her. This wasn't like that at all, and it was such a relief....as I'm sure it was for Dita as well!

I grew up from West Branch like Dita Von Teese. She has been inspiration especially since the town is very suppressing. After watching videos of her Burlesque shows and interviews, she has helped motivate me to be myself and also sexualize myself with taste. I am so glad I learned who she was when I was a teenager 6 years ago.

Cannot recommend her book enough!!! It's such an honestly written confidence booster. There's great beauty advice (or rather feeling beautiful advice) and endless old Hollywood trivia and glamorous anecdotes. You can tell a great deal of love, effort and knowledge went into it.

I bought this book yesterday. It is one serious book. Beautifully written with amazing photos. I will be keeping this book on my coffee table for easy reference. Well worth investing in this book. Thank you Dita Von Tesse

Best Book ever! Not only a Beauty book, but health, exercise, interior design, automobiles, cooking, relationships, couture everything! The most intelligent, creative, fascinating woman of our times. I bought Dita’s book immediately, bought an extra just in case, then I bought all my girlfriends, cousins, colleagues a copy as well. I have been wearing makeup since the age of 3 and, at that age, I was doing my mom’s makeup. Having said that, no one does it better than Dita! I absolutely adore Dita and admire her so much! Fabulous interview! Thank you! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

After 5 pages, I can already say that this is the best book I've ever read 😘😘

the interviewer was good, I was really impressed actually

Love her , so poise , eloquent, sexy , glamorous❤️ a true Libra

This interview makes me want to be more stylish 💗

I'm so grateful this woman exists

Dita is a pure legend! She's elegant, classy, vintage, gracious, gorgeous!

I liked her comment about wearing things that make you feel good about yourself. This made me think about how I had comments told to me that if I changed my hair or painted my nails or did eyeliner, lipstick was that i was trying to impress others. But for me doing those things was to make me happy. Because I liked a shade of lipstick or hair color/cut, or I felt like painting my nails because I liked the color or was bored. I don’t change my look for others i do it for myself.

She is so stunning🖤

Dita Von Teese is so interesting! I can't wait to see more from her!

I love that she''s glamourous without a huge bitchy attitude it's like she is still pure and of course a Gorgous inside and it shows she is herself as she says she is I know from the way she applies herself she won't put up with anything but she is a genuine caring and more than likely a happy joyfully person and has totally created herself entirely with pure love,care and true respect of herself without throwing herself trashy... A beautiful person inside and out

Saw her on the Art of the Teese tour in Manchester two years ago and she was amazing. Even the rest of her entourage - Ginger Valentine, Zelia Rose and Gia Genevieve - were great.

I have the book and love it!! I bought it because I knew she would make the reading fun besides the beautiful photos and of course tips on how to look and feel pretty. She's all class besides being beautiful inside and out!

I love her book and I can’t wait to see her new show in Houston ♥️🍷💋

She's so pretty

Great interview from this queen ughhh I love her so much she’s such an inspiration about owning what you like and sticking to it! I love also how she is big on creating your own beauty

I wish the interviewer is better. This would've been more interesting without him tbh xD but love Dita!!! She's so classy and gorgeous♥️

매력적이야 디타 폰 티즈님💕💕

Lovely gal is Dita :) So great to hear there is another person who hates the use of overshadowing and glossing up faces, or using foundations. Just a little good facial creme and a dab of powder and maybe rouge is all we need.

I love her tho. And she does look like a supermodel

All people are like people, and Dita is a beautiful Snow White!!!😊❤

I always wanted to be more exotic, too. I used to color my hair darker, but I just looked silly.

Shes too good to be true

La mujer más atractiva del mundo

Até que enfim vamos ter mais contato com a dita e sua família ,e aprender a se comportar melhor perante a mesa de jantar.beijo emiliana.

Cool!

I love her laugh

Dita always look like a old films in my collection

Love her! You!! Sorry really admire you

😍😍😍😍

💎💎💎💙💙💙

Dita is art🤍

My god I absolutely love her. If I met her I'd just bow down and kiss her feet. then I'd just lie down and die happy.

😍🥰❤️👸🏻

exotic

I would like to hear her insight on friendship with both men and women.

I read on her "Wikipedia page" that she's fascinated by "1940s cinema" nd "classic vintage style", BUT is there a "video" where she confirms it?

You are so beautiful, Dita‼️I have your Burlesque/Fetish book, interesting and aestetic the way you do it‼️💎 From a Libra to another. ▪️▪️🔺

I want to dedicate this to you please do enjoy?Much Love. Con Funk Shun-Got To Be Enough When you have the time please listen this jam.

she reminds me to andie mcdowell

I, m in love with Marilyn Manson, I, m woman

Dita says she wasn't much to look at? She's very beautiful.

This interview would of been more exciting if the interviewer wasn't there

Dita sure grew up to be a lady!

Interesting choice of words. ‘We are all wearing drag’ 🤔

She how is dressing and how he

i find it kind of hypocritical of her that she criticizes the mainstream standards of beauty even though she has breast implants and still follows what was considered ideal in the past. i still respect her intellect and uniqueness, she is a very interesting person.

I wouldn't of called her skinny tbh, no offense to the commenter but skinny is a really poor choice of word for Dita..

Could he not have brought up the ex-husband? She shouldn't be treated as beholden to his opinion.

Memo: dont est things from packages

Hmm a biopic a Dita movie should be. 👍🏳️‍🌈👌🏾🦹🏾‍♂️🧕🏿

Dita has a Lord Farquaad-esque to her, but just way hotter

Look at the interviewers expression. He hates her.

Even though this woman has got an unquestionable charm, I must admit she's a little disappointing in some of her statements.. when she says that she gains confidence with her lipstick on and the clothes that she likes... well, a really confident person doesn't rely on clothes, not even on a lipstick.. or when she says that she celebrates being a woman every day... well, a woman doesn't need make up to celebrate the woman she is, that's for sure.. or when she says she wanted to be the opposite of who she was born.. this sounds a statement from an insecure character.. maybe she is pretending to be something she is not, I wonder if she's aware of that..

Black is THE most common hair color in the world and she thinks it's "exotic"? Um no. Blonde is uncommon!! It's like me dying my rare red as brown and thinking that's exotic.

She’s out of touch, but all cartoons are.

Dislike Dita
