Super Sexy Salon Kitty Dita famously said "I advocate glamour. Every day. Every minute." I'm with you, Dita. That's why I don't leave home without at least 40 minutes in front of the mirror. Ask my man, it drives him mad.
Let's look at the basics:
Her measurements: 32C-21-33 (but her waist can be pulled to 16 inches in a corset.) Dita's height is 5'3", and she weighs 105 pounds. She's 37 years-old and is contracted to MAC, has a lingerie line with Wonderbra, both OCD favorites. Teese wrote a book called, "Burlesque and the Art of the Teese." She was also briefly married to the Antichrist.
I love Dita and have chosen her because she absolutely proves that any woman, starting at any point in their lives, can create what they consider beauty in themselves.
Let’s take myself for instance, since this is my Blog- 15 years ago I found myself Miserable in Seattle. Overweight, I didn’t know what the hell to do with my hair except to bob it, didn’t understand beauty products or skincare, I didn’t know what tools were available to me to actually lose weight, besides diet and exercise (boring). I was a hot nasty mess.
Now here I am all these years later, I am a blond, which I have to pay to keep up every month (can I get an amen, sisters?) I see a dermatologist for all my face products, I go to Sephora for makeup, wouldn’t dream of buying something that didn’t make me look better. Makeup is supposed to do that, did you know? OK, I’ve had some surgery, why not? And I’ll admit I get meds from my doctor and rely on a few other unorthodox to keep my weight down, but it works. I’m a hell of a lot happier than I was 15 years ago in Seattle because I took my own life, i.e. looks, into my own hands. The better you look, the more confidence you will have, the better choices you'll make, the less shit you'll be willing to take.
Now I even have a little fun with inspiration from woman like Dita, I have a piercing, maybe 2. Nothings shocking, as they say.
So here’s to Dita who inspires us to keep moving forward, keep going and getting better...no matter where we are starting from.
