About Dita von Teese
Dita von Teese, pseudonym of Heather Renée Sweet (Rochester, September 28, 1972), is an American burlesque model, showgirl and costume designer, specializing in softcore fetish performances.
Defined as The Queen of Neo Burlesque, she is known for having brought the burlesque genre back into vogue in the 2000s. She chose the stage name Dita to pay homage to the German actress of the 1920s Dita Parlo, while the surname Von Teese was given to her by Playboy magazine in 2002, as she needed a surname to appear on the cover and had chosen from telephone directory with the surname "Von Treese", but by mistake "Von Teese" was printed, a surname which the artist then decided to keep.
As of April 2024, she has amassed 2.6 million followers on her Instagram platform.
