Dita Von Teese Is Much More Than Just A Burlesque Dancer

Designers are dropping one by one — or in Episode 5's case, two by two — in Season 13 of Project Runway , and with only 10 contestants left, things are about to get intense. To help decide who will be going home next, entertainer Dita Von Teese is a guest Runway judge, assisting in picking apart the contestant's creations. (Although we seriously wish they were designing lingerie for their esteemed judge instead of alternative wedding gowns.)

So what does the Queen of Burlesque know about fashion? Well, a lot actually, and her knowledge isn't just confined to bras and panties. Check out what Miss-I-Know-How-To-Wear-The-Shit-Out-Of-Red-Lipstick has up her stylish sleeve.

Sassy Sunnies? Yeah, She Sells Those Too

However, if you want a pair of Von Teese’s cat-eye-licious sunglasses, then you better start saving up some cash.

She's working on a book about beauty

Von Teese’s beauty tips and secrets will fill out her new book, Your Beauty Mark, which she’s currently working on. According to an interview with Popsugar, the book will be “about embracing who you are and not feeling like you need to fit in or succumb to a modern, typical standard of beauty.” Yeah, I can get behind that.
