If you have not heard of Dita Von Teese, please, let us introduce you! When you talk about burlesque today, you can guarantee Dita’s name will come up. She has been credited with singlehandedly bringing it back into the forefront of fashion, art, and has certainly inspired many designers with her throwback glamour. There are very few performers in this genre today who stand out, and maybe it is because she has done such a good job of carving a niche and name for herself. I have yet to see a performance but it’s on my long list of things to do… I thought I’d share this fabulous clip from the launch of her‘Be COINTREAUVERSIAL’ live show in which she finishes with a classic martini glass burlesque tease… or should we say “teese”! If you’re craving more, you could also mix your self a cointreau teese cocktail…
The recipe:
4 cl Cointreau
2 cl apple juice
1.5 cl Monin violet
1.5 cl fresh lemon juice
Frost with ginger around the rim of the glass
