It was Hugh Hefner's 80th birthday surprise performance in Paris by international queen of burlesque, Dita Von Teese, that landed her five nights of a special striptease engagement in Las Vegas at MGM Grand's Crazy Horse Paris.
Dita has just agreed to an April 15-20 run here when she will repeat the two seductive dance numbers that Hef applauded in the original European nightspot. The porcelain-faced, tiny-waisted sophisticated and glamorous woman -- newly separated from rocker Marilyn Manson -- was the first ever guest star in the legendary show's 55-year history. LUXE LIFE talked exclusively with Dita during a recent Victoria's Secret autograph session of her two-sided book on the art of undressing.
Dita, clad in a '40s look of high-heels, garter belt, stockings and corsets, has established a unique retro-style of classic vintage glamour. She told us how much she loved Vegas and thought that the true art of burlesque still had a valid place in Vegas nightlife. Now her dream to play the Strip is coming true. Dita will be seen in her oversized champagne glass, which serves as a bubble bath that Hef and his Girls Next Door went crazy for. Dita has made this bubble bath routine her own trademark and had performed it days earlier on the French Riviera during a double back and forth roundtrip jet flight from LA that we reported on LUXE LIFE.
In addition to a second surprise routine Dita will also join the troupe of beauties for the revived famous Jacques Morales finale disco song " We Are the Girls of Crazy Horse." Crazy Horse execs indicate Dita's guest run is the first of many similar significant events that mark the show's recent name change from "La Femme" over to MGM Grand's Crazy Horse Paris as a result of the Federal Government's successful prosecution case against the owners of the Crazy Horse Too strip club for tax evasion.
