Dita Von Teese says she has “trained” her body into liking healthy foods.
The burlesque star is famed for showing off her feminine curves in a number of barely-there stage costumes.
Von Teese maintains her enviable figure by choosing the right foods for her body.
“I do a lot of Pilates and I’ve trained my body to enjoy things that are healthy. If you stop eating sugar, your body doesn’t want sugar anymore. I haven’t had a soda in 15 years!” she told the UK edition of OK! magazine.
“I drink green smoothies with spinach, kale, and dark leafy greens mixed with fruit. Then something salady for lunch and then I can eat what I want at night. Ever since I stopped eating a big breakfast of eggs, toast and cereal, I feel so much better.”
The 39-year-old beauty has admitted to having Botox before, but maintains she doesn’t really need it because of her good genes.
“I tried it a little bit in the middle of my forehead to see what it was like,” she revealed. “I was afraid of having my eyebrows moved because some people get those real Mr Spock eyebrows and I don’t want that!
“I’ve done it maybe twice in the last three years, but for the most part I’ve forgotten I’ve had it done. The last time was about eight months ago. Wrinkles are not one of my problems – my mom is in her sixties and she looks really young.”

Dita Von Teese ‘rarely’ performs her cowgirl routine while touring because the mechanical bull she uses is too expensive to ship.
The model is best known for her striking burlesque routines and is frequently dubbed ‘the Queen of Burlesque’ in the press.
Dita, who sports a unique vintage appearance, usually performs long, elaborate dance shows with props and characters, which are often inspired by 1930s and 1940s musicals and films.
The raven-haired beauty responded to a fan’s question on social networking site Twitter recently, when asked if she performs her ‘cowgirl routine’ on a regular basis.
‘Rarely; It’s a real mechanical bull, VERY $ to ship (sic)!’ she replied.
Dita’s burlesque career has included some memorable and impressive performances including one appearance at a benefit for the New York Academy of Art , where she wore nothing but $5 million worth of diamonds.

Tina Turnbow is a professional makeup artist, who is known for lending her celebrity clients editorial polish.
This past Cinco De Mayo, I enjoyed sipping a new signature cocktail from Cointreau with the brand’s beautiful spokesperson, Dita Von Teese. The cocktail, which was called the MargaDita, was as well put together as the lady herself. Between sips, we discussed the power of sunglasses, damp skin and her opium-den requirements.
TT: If pressed for time when doing your makeup, what are your bare essentials?
DVT: Flawless skin is the most important thing, then red lips. In exactly that order. Red lips don’t look good on blotchy, uneven skin. I use Dior Capture Totale Foundation, and a dusting of Mineralize Powder by MAC. Dior Dolce Vita is my favorite red lipstick. When in a rush, I tie my hair back and throw on a great pair of sunglasses…and voila! Don’t underestimate the cosmetic power of sunglasses. It’s worth spending a bit of money on a quality pair. I usually go for Dior or Louis Vuitton.
TT: I can tell that underneath the foundation and powder you have lovely skin. How do you care for it?
DVT: I have really sensitive skin, and a few allergies, so I stay on it. I recently had a bout with rosacea. I was told by a big name dermatologist, “this is your life now,” because he couldn’t figure out how to get rid of it. A million creams later, I went to a real skin doctor in Orange County. He prescribed a pill and one lotion, and boom, it was gone. The moral being: find the guy who takes your insurance.
TT: He sounds knowledgeable. Did he give you any other tips?
DVT: Yes, he said it doesn’t matter what moisturizer you use. Just make sure you put it on right after cleansing, while your skin is still damp. That way your pores can absorb it while they are still open. So choose any cream you like for the face and body. My choice is always Creme de la Mer- it’s pricey, but so worth it.
TT: Do you usually prefer a very matte look?
DVT: Always, glowing is not my thing. A matte finish diffuses any features about my face that I’m not comfortable with, while shine highlights them. It’s like soft-focus magic. Plus, my favorite look in makeup comes from the era when women kept their skin matte and flawless.
TT: Who are your favorite beauty icons?
DVT: Oh, my all time favorite is Betty Grable. Her look, her humor and most of all her spirit and sense of individuality. Just like Madonna 20 years ago. She was unlike anyone, and stayed true to herself. Modern day, I find Carmen Dell’Orefice very unique and fantastic.
TT: Has it taken time to find what works best for you?
DVT: My look has taken time to evolve. I’ve gotten to a place where I feel pretty and confident. I think that’s important for anyone. Personally, I have no reason to change it, no matter what people say or advise. I will save baring all for the person I am intimate with.
TT: When you have time to put a “cat eye” on, what is your favorite liner and do you have any tips about application?
DVT: Stay in shape with it. When I go a while without putting it on, it’s always rough at first. But when I’ve been applying it daily, it’s “whooosh;” it goes on seamlessly. Generally, getting that perfect, flattering line is hard! I look down into a mirror to apply it so I can see the shape and match them up better. Make sure not to pull your eyelid out at the side, because when you let go, the line will be a completely different shape. My favorite liner is Guerlain Divinora Liquid Liner. For lashes, its Dior Show Mascara. A truly winning combo!
TT: Being a natural blonde, what do you use to darken your brows?
DVT: It’s easy with Just For Men hair dye. I’m kind of a do-it-yourself person as far as my hair, makeup and styling go. I’m in the process of writing a beauty book, where I do it all. It’s hard work. But nothing good comes easy.
TT: As for your incredible figure- how do you stay in shape?
DVT: I think variety is key. I prefer the competitive atmosphere of a classroom setting, like yoga or Pilates. That keeps me going. Although performing on stage is great exercise! I just haven’t been doing it as much as I’d like. It’s all the requirements and special effects I need to do a show. Many venues are not big enough or are not set up for everything. Many can’t accommodate my Opium Den, for example, which is part of my most opulent show. I won’t settle for middle of the road- I go for grand. I’m pretty particular, as you might have guessed.

On Thursday, June 23, celebrities came together for the amfAR Inspiration Gala, this time in Paris, France. The gala was held at the Pavillon Gabriel with a guest list that included Diane Kruger, Dita Von Teese, Marc Jacobs, Fergie, Max Irons, and Emily Browning.
Dita was her usual, impeccably styled self in a midnight blue asymmetrical neckline gown by Hervé L. Leroux. And, like she normally does, Dita made sure all the details of her attire were just as perfect, from her curls, to her Louboutin clutch and heels, to her jewelry by Erickson Beamon and Cartier.
