One of Loaded’s favorite subjects, burlesque queen Dita Von Teese, is featured in it’s latest issue with a sneak peek of a new book she is starring in.

Dita shows off her petite feet and pin-up body in the new book by photographer Ed Fox that plays on foot fetishes.

Fox says, “The attractions of the foot, like the rest of a woman’s body, are intriguing and a mystery. I really don’t know why.”

Von Teese who has long been a fan of fetishes, once admitted her love for pornography.

“Amateur pornography is a great thing. You can find anything for everyone on the internet. So long as no one’s hurting anyone or involving children then hey, what’s wrong with that?”

“As soon as I was of legal age I wanted to take my clothes off and be photographed recreating old pin-ups.”

- Soon after Dita Von Teese graduated high school, she began her transformation into the world famous burlesque dancer she is today.

Dita for Frederick’s of Hollywood

Dita Von Teese is set to play exotic dancer Mata Hari in Martha Fiennes’ forthcoming biopic of the tragic star. Not really a stretch for the burlesque dancer.

Von Teese doesn’t have much acting experience but the director believes she was made for the role.

Fiennes says, “Dita has done a little acting before and I think she can handle it. In fact, I approached her myself. She is perfect for the part. I have written the script but it will probably need some developing, so I don’t expect filming for another eight to 10 months“.

Hari - born Margaretha Geertruida Zelle - was executed in France in 1917, after she was exposed as a double agent during World War I.

“PETA’s totally aware of me. I’m not working with PETA to tell people to be vegetarians or to stop wearing fur. I am there to strictly speak about spaying and neutering your pets.”
