celebritease: dita was once braless!



sometimes, dita von teese directly bypasses "elegant dressing" for "gaudy burlesque eccentricity", but when she gets things right, she looks flawless. now, dita tells us about her first bra experience, which seems so completely contrary to the point she's at right now.

"My first bra was not very exciting. I was a late bloomer — the last of my girlfriends to get one. It was this horrible training bra-type thing, but it prompted me to save my money and buy my own darn bra. My mom was like, ‘You can’t have the black lace one.’ And I was like, ‘Why not?’ I’ve never equated beautiful lingerie with seduction or sex. It’s not about trying to get a man. Not at all. It’s about surrounding myself with beauty in my everyday life — whether it’s a bra or a notebook. I want everything around me to be attractive because I look at it every day."

i admit that i have a hard time believing she doesn't connect foxy lingerie to seduction and sex, since seduction and sexuality is essentially her bread and butter. but i still enjoy her positive outlook.

celebritease: somebody please tell me...

...what is the appeal of london designer jenny packham?





i think these are just hideous. orange is never a flattering color, and those embellishments give me a headache. dior does it so much better, anyway.

celebritease: good god, GOOPeth is designing clothes now?



gwyneth paltrow, are you serious right now? the creator of the site nobody reads with advice on a lifestyle that nobody can afford, goop.com, is launching a capsule collection for french label ZOEtee's, called (creatively) ZOEtee's Loves Gwenyth. she claims the collection will consist of jersey basics that focus on a 70's aesthetic, with masculine tailoring. seriously, could you pick two influences that are more dynamically opposed? honestly, how can jersey basics encompass masculine tailoring? tailored = structured, and generally, jersey knits = loose-fitting and draped. i'm confused, i confess, but there's a sun on the horizon: apparently, all the proceeds will help fund gwynnie's favorite charity, the london kid's company. 100% of the profits? seems like a fruitless enterprise. i can't imagine why she'd do that, besides, perhaps, an attempt at self-promotion.
