Style Icon: Dita Von Teese

Dita Von Teese came back to NYC with her Strip Strip Hooray show and I was lucky enough to snag a ticket! As you may remember I was to go last Halloween but the show was canceled due to Hurricane Sandy. It was a fantastic show. The make up ballerina skit shown above was my favorite! 

 I've long been a fan of her incredibly perfect style. Amazing costumes aside, I love to see what she wears off the stage. Below is just a few looks that set her apart and make her one of my top style icons. 

Perfection! 

Mid-Week Inspiration: Strip Strip Hooray!

 If the show is not canceled due to Hurricane Sandy, I will be seeing this tonight!! 

Dita has been a style icon and inspiration to me for a long time. I really can't wait!

The best way to spend Halloween! 

Happy Halloween kittens!

EDIT: The show was cancelled due to power outages in the city. I will hopefully get to go when she returns and update you all!

The Mode Merr Holiday Spectacular!

Yesterday I attended the Mode Merr Holiday Spectacular. As you can imagine, an afternoon filled with shopping, burlesque, live music, and a fashion show, was a ton of fun! With my right hand still wrapped up and unusable, taking great photos was a challenge. Here are a few decent ones, I'd like to share:

The adorable Angie Pontani doing her amazing burlesque act.

Melody Sweets singing her beautiful torch song while stripping down.

The lovely ladies at the Dirty Dolls Lingerie booth. Being the lingerie crazed lady I am, I will be posting more about them soon!

The beautiful World Famous *Bob* modeling Mode Merr.


I was thrilled to meet Rocket J, from the Pin Up Finishing School. Here she is absolutely stunning in her leopard Mode Merr suit after modeling in the show.
