Ditina posebnost je što njeni striptiz performansi nikada nisu neukusni, neki obožavatelji idu toliko daleko da ih nazivaju umjetnošću.

We at Dark Garden have had the immense pleasure of creating dozens of foundation #corsets for the lovely Dita Von Teese. Most often they are embellished into their true glory by Catherine D'Lish like the one worn in Dita’s iconic MAC Viva Glam Ad.
Dita is not only exquisitely beautiful, she is also very hard working as are her costumes, so eventually things need either refurbishment or to be made again. As Autumn Adamme not only loves working with Dita but also really enjoys handwork and embellishment, she jumped at the chance to re-create the complete corset.

Me and Dita. Blurry because the stupid woman couldn't take a pic properly. But so what. Its Dita.
Who wants an owl!
They're so cute that even Dita Von Teese has one!
Gave one to her when I met her on friday and she kept saying "oh its so cute!" and said "its my new lucky owl!"
A good friend of mine commissioned a watercolor for her boyfriend... it shows the day they started going out.
Una buena amiga me encargó hacer una acuarela para su novio... muestra el dÃa en el que empezaron a salir.

Lovely Dita Parlo (1906-1971) was a star of German and French films of the late 1920s and 1930s, who also worked in Hollywood. She inspired both Dita Von Teese and Madonna, the latter used her name and character from L'Atalante (1934) for her 'Sex' book and 'Erotica' album.
Dita Parlo was born as Gerda Olga Justina Kornstädt in Stettin, Germany (now Szczecin in Poland) in 1906 (some sources say 1908). Her father was a forest ranger. Dita was initially trained as a ballet dancer. Subsequently, she studied acting at the Babelsberg film school in Berlin. There she was discovered for the screen by producer Erich Pommer, and she was signed to a contract with the Ufa studio. She made her first film appearance as the wife of soldier Lars Hanson in the silent war drama Heimkehr / Homecoming (Joe May, 1928). After her film debut, Dita Parlo quickly rose to stardom. Her early Ufa films include Geheimnisse des Orients / Secrets of the Orient (Alexandre Volkoff, 1928) with Nicolas Koline and Iván Petrovich, Die Dame mit der Maske / The Lady with the Mask (Wilhelm Thiele, 1928), and Ungarische Rhapsodie / Hungarian Rhapsody (Hanns Schwarz, 1928), with Willy Fritsch. In Manolescu - Der König der Hochstapler / Manolescu (Victor Tourjansky, 1929), she appeared opposite the legendary Russian film star Ivan Mozzhukhin.
Dita Parlo appeared in the first sound film of the Ufa, Melodie des Herzens / Melody of the Heart (Hanns Schwarz, 1929) opposite Willy Fritsch. In France, she also became popular and appeared in Au bonheur des dames / For the Happiness of Women (Julien Duvivier, 1930), an adaptation of Emile Zola's 1883 novel of the same name. In 1931, she tried her luck in Hollywood. She often appeared in German-speaking versions of American films, and she played parts in the minor films Honor of the Family (Lloyd Bacon, 1931) with Bebe Daniels, and the comedy anthology Mr. Broadway (Johnnie Walker, 1933). The sketch with Parlo in the latter film was taken from an uncompleted film by Edgar G. Ulmer, titled Love's Interlude. This film was begun in 1932 at Peerless Productions. After two years in Hollywood and no success, Dita Parlo moved to Paris. She married a Frenchman and would make only French films for the rest of her career. Later, she was scheduled to appear in the proposed Orson Welles production of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness for RKO Radio Pictures. However, that project did not come to pass, and Welles began work on Citizen Kane.
Dita Parlo starred as a provincial bride aboard a canal barge in the beautiful L'Atalante (Jean Vigo, 1934). She and her ship captain, Jean (Jean Dasté), struggle through marriage as they travel on their barge L'Atalante along with the captain's first mate, Le père Jules (Michel Simon), and a cabin boy. Ben Parker at IMDb: "Finally saw Vigo's L'Atalante, his only feature film, which he reportedly could not complete before his death, and instantly it's one of my top favourite movies and easily one of the best pictures ever made. L'Atalante has everything going for it: it's sexy, romantic and incredibly funny. It's also immensely genuine". Three years later, Dita Parlo played a peasant opposite Jean Gabin in another masterpiece, La grande illusion / The Grand Illusion (Jean Renoir, 1937). Donald J. Lamb at IMDb: "It is a wonder to see a film from the 1930s so definite in its view and opinions, yet so touching and revelatory. Jean Renoir's The Grand Illusion is a film of great importance, one that improves with each viewing." After La grande illusion, Parlo appeared in eight more French films. She featured in the spy film Mademoiselle Docteur / Street of Shadows (G. W. Pabst, 1937). She also co-starred with Erich von Stroheim in the historical drama Ultimatum (Robert Wiene, 1938). It was the final film of Wiene, who had been a leading director of German cinema, particularly noted for his work on expressionist films during the silent era. He died shortly before the film's completion, and it was finished by Robert Siodmak. Following the outbreak of World War II, Dita Parlo was forced to return to Germany because of her nationality. That was the end of her film career. In 1949, she married a priest, Franck Gueutal. During the last thirty years of her life, she worked as a writer and appeared in only three films in small parts. She made her final film appearance as a countess who always wins at gambling in La dame de pique / The Queen of Spades (Léonard Keigel, 1965), based on the story 'Pikovaya dama' by Alexander Pushkin. The countess had previously been given the secret that she can never reveal, and a poor Russian officer (Michel Subor) tries to force her hand with tragic results. Dita Parlo died in 1971 in Paris. She was 65. Parlo left a strong impression on all who caught her work. In 1992, Madonna said she was fascinated by Parlo. Madonna picked her name as an alias while touring and booking into hotels. Madonna took her name again for the character she created for her legendary 'Sex' book and 'Erotica' album. Its title track commences with the line "My name is Dita, I'll be your mistress tonight... ". Burlesque performer Dita Von Teese took her first name also in tribute to Dita Parlo. Musician Steve Adey has a song called 'Dita Parlo' on his studio album 'The Tower of Silence' (2012). The song was written in response to L'Atalante.

This was my first shoot with Valerie - she came to one of our small group shoots and I had no idea what to expect. Valerie was an absolute delight to shoot with - a nice mix of sassy, adventurous, photogenic, and fun to shoot with. It helped that Valerie is about the same size of my wife so she could wear some of Heather's outfits. She is definitely someone I'd love to do more shoots with.
I took these photos in Star, Idaho in April 2016.
