Dita Von Teese is good at her job — which, for all intents and purposes, is being sexy.
And at age 40, the LA-based burlesque star — and Marilyn Manson ex — is feeling hotter than ever.
“There’s a lot more to feeling sexy than just being young or having a perfect body,” says Von Teese. “It’s about cultivating your wit and cultivating your sexual power and technique. In the last 10 years, I feel much more savvy about seduction and my ability to relate to men in a better, more suave way than I did when I was much younger.”
To Von Teese, who brings her famed “Burlesque: Strip Strip Hooray” act to The Gramercy Theater starting Sept. 30, seduction should look and seem effortless — and she says the way to do that is by practicing it in everyday life.
