Happy birthday Miss DitaVonTeese
Fantasy, mystery and sensuality are so deeply ingrained into the mythos of Dita Von Teese that it's hard to imagine a young woman — one who revered the alabaster-skinned leading ladies of old Hollywood from her small Michigan town — named Heather Sweet, once existed in her place.
Over the years, these early interests, coupled with her background in ballet, and forays into historical costuming and costume design, conflated to become Dita Von Teese, a persona so organically constructed that it is almost impossible to tell where the fantasy ever ends.
Were it not for Von Teese extending an invitation to Tellier for her 2010 performance at the Crazy Horse in Paris, the album may never have come about."I had a French lover that had played his [Tellier's] music for me one night and I became a fan When I was performing in Paris, I was making a guest list for the premiere and I invited Sébastien to come. I had recorded a couple of songs already and that is actually what he saw me lip sync that night.
"It was nice for me to work completely under the guidance of Sébastien and his producing team," Von Teese said of the recording process."I'm so used to being in total control with my burlesque shows, but it was really nice to step away, and put myself in a vulnerable position. I'm not a technical singer at all, and so I'd be asking questions and taking guidance and trying to learn and sing the lyrics the way he wanted.
"I felt a sense of softness making this project," she explained."I think there's a lot of that present; it's very stripped down from my usual slick and glamorous image. The idea of this record was soft sensuality, something that's more like who I would be with people that I know very well, and with my lover. I think that this album has a lot of the real me, under the veneer of the image that I created.
