Dita Von Teese: When Fantasy Comes To Fruition

June 19, 2010 / Clint Catalyst posted in Blog, Journalistic Goulash / 6 Comments

Here’s one from the vaults, though
timeless, all the same—

from the (defunct) LA Alternative Press,
an interview with an individual who
exemplifies the art of transformation,
an art of poise & refinement pitched
in a pronouncement as seismic as an earthquake:
one in which dreams are alchemized through
no mastery other than “being herself”… a mastery
of person/persona. ☆ Her Own Creation ☆

Oh, & re: the bleach-blond nod to Billy Idol
in the original doc’s title?

No. I didn’t, bitches.
Don’t. Try. Me…

❦

& as a special bonus for those who clicked “More”—
More means More, doesn’t it?!

Here are a few rare images of Dita with
the Shut-Up-I-Miss-Her-So-Much-I-Can-Barely-Stand-It inimitable Miss Adele Mildred,
as captured by my beloved Goth prom date
Amanda Brooks Photography ♥

Adorable!

Hi! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing a few months of hard work due to no back up. Do you have any methods to prevent hackers?
