Burlesque star Dita is possibly the best-known old-school pin-up in the world today. Her stockings-in-trade poses echo classic pin up shots, and she takes inspiration from some of the great poster girls of the 1940s.

Her career started as a Bettie Page-style fetish model, after which she appeared on the front cover of Bizarre twice. She was among the first models to have her own page on the internet. Her burlesque act is world famous. It includes her legendary bath in a martini glass, complete with a giant, olive shaped sponge.

She can now be found winking from the pages of high fashion magazines, and in the front row at couture shows.
