Dita Von Teese launched her new line of 1940s & 1950s inspired lingerie items for Wonderbra at Covent Garden in London today. She posed for photographers swinging in a giant model of one of her bras wearing a beautiful peach dress, high heels, flawless makeup and hair.

She had this to say:

“I’m going to move to Paris like all the other glamorous stars of the past that moved to Paris,” There are certain places that men always appreciate their glamour girls and especially their showgirls of any age, so I really am going to move to Paris, I think.”

“My first job when I was 15 years old was working in a lingerie store,” she told Reuters. “I worked there for many years and my obsession and love of lingerie is really what made me become a pinup model and burlesque dancer.”

While she is famous for dancing in giant cocktail glasses as well as being the former wife of Marilyn Manson, despite their divorce, she considers herself lucky in love.

“I think I’ve been very lucky in love. I’ve had lots of wonderful affairs and, you know, I haven’t found the great love of my life … I think I’m pretty lucky in love. May be not the way other people consider love to be lucky, but I’m all for the adventure of life and I don’t want it all to be one way and I don’t really need a storybook ending.”

Evan Rachel Wood’s explains that the reason she did the sex video with her boyfriend, rocker Marilyn Manson, was to “show that it’s okay to have different, weird ideas about romance.”

“At the end of the video, we’re kissing and it’s raining blood – and for me, that was one of the most romantic moments of my entire life,” - Wood
Can you believe this?

The music video for her boyfriend Mason’s song, “Heart-Shaped Glasses” – which she explains does not contain actual sex – has caused quite the reaction, but to she describes it as being artistic and sentimental.

“We made it for each other … Because that’s how we were feeling at the time: Even though ugliness can be all around you – you can literally be in a thunderstorm of blood – if you look past that, it really is just two people holding on to each other.

“And you know, the same thing with the sex scene. If you’re going to have a sex scene, that’s what it is,” Wood continues. “When you’re with someone and you’re in love, that’s usually what happens. It’s not always soft. Sometimes it’s somebody screaming or whatever.”

She said she was a “shy, painfully shy” girl in her teens . The “healthy, loving” relationship that she has going on with Manson, who is 38, might surprise people. What also is shocking is that his loud snoring is a good thing because it lulls her to sleep!

“For the first time,” she says, “I really feel like I’m around somebody and in an environment where I can just let go and not worry about being judged.

“And I’m sorry if I have blond hair and blue eyes and my boyfriend looks like a vampire. What do you want me to do about it?”

Wood has three films coming out this fall, including Across the Universe, in which she stars as a young woman caught up in the whirl of the anti-Vietnam War movement. The film should be a freak show, as it is “a kind of Beatles rock opera,” and the girl even sings her own songs!

“I think it’s some of the most personal acting I’ve ever done,” she says, “because I’m more aware of myself now. Before, I didn’t realize how therapeutic acting was for me – how much of myself I was letting out.”

Yeah… right.
