Dita and her bosom buddies
asdf
Burlesque bombshell and retro queen, Dita Von Teese, launched her line of unmentionables for Wonderbra yesterday in London. The "Wonderbra by Dita Von Teese" collection, which is inspired by old Hollywood glamour, includes beautiful bras, gorgeous garter belts, pretty panties, and...sexy suspenders? Um, Dita doll, where exactly do the suspenders come in?
Perhaps they were hot bedroom accessories in the 1950s, which is the era that Dita looked to for inspiration. The end result is a very vintage feel combining shapes from the 1950s and fabrics from the 1940s.

"I took all the best bits of the most beautiful vintage lingerie I have collected over the years to make this," Dita said. "But I made sure it was all really comfortable, too, which vintage lingerie can't really claim to be." Well if any of her pieces will give me her waistline without cracking a rib, I'm sold.
And Dita wants you to get it poppin' in the bedroom too! One bra-bottom combo features a quick-release magnetic clasp, “making daring stripteases a cinch,” according to Wonderbra. This is a line after my own heart!
But, says Dita, “Lingerie shouldn’t be something you just put on for your lover; you should do it for you. It’s not about seducing men, it’s about embracing womanhood.”
Can we just tawk for a moment about how much I la la love her? If I had the time, energy, wardrobe, money and job, I would dress like her every day of my life. I'm seriously thinking about being her for Halloween this year. And yes, it would give me an excuse to run around with little to nothing on. Isn't that what Halloween is all about?
But I digress. The limited edition lingerie collection is currently available in Europe and will soon be available online at http://www.asos.com/.
