INTERNATIONAL burlesque star Dita von Teese revealed nothing more than that she was an avid fan of Twitter, the social networking craze, when she made a flying visit to Dublin yesterday.

The dancer, once married to former cult rock musician Marilyn Manson, had come to Ireland to launch a new Vodafone product, not to strip off as part of her burlesque routine.

And the soft-spoken, 36-year-old style icon kept herself under wraps in a siren red Moschino dress and matching Christian Louboutin stiletto shoes.

Called Vodafone 360, the new networking service allows all of a customer’s contacts from webmail, chat, instant messaging and content sharing services to be brought together in one place.

The service is automatically backed up and synchronised, regularly and wirelessly between the mobile and computer.

All contacts, emails, photos and conversation history or setting changes made at home or on the move are saved, keeping all the content up to date.

Dita, who recently launched her latest line for Wonderbra, had no doubt why Vodafone chose her to launch their new product.

“It’s is because I look good in red. That’s why they asked me,” said Dita.

Dita also said she was “obsessed” with her mobile phone. “I am big on Twitter,” she said, laughing.

Vodafone Ireland’s Chris Handley, said users of the new product created a central account and then linked it with all their digital communications including their contacts.

Dita Von Teese worries about losing her nipple tassels.

The burlesque dancer uses extra-strong glue to assure her crystal-decorated breast accessories don’t slip out of place and expose too much flesh.

She explained: “I use serious waterproof glue, because I’m in a martini glass. Crystals are heavy and there’s a lot going on.”

The 36-year-old dancer’s favourite routine sees her pour water over her near-naked body from a foam olive while sitting in a giant martini glass.

She said: “I’ve got a shower of water going down from the olive, so I’ve got to have something serious. I can’t afford to lose a nipple tassel during my show.”

Dita – whose ex-husband is goth rocker Marilyn Manson – first decided on her chosen career after developing a love for lingerie as a teenager.

She explained: “My obsession with underwear is how I ended up becoming a burlesque performer and a pin-up model.

“I worked in a lingerie store when I was a teenager. I wanted to know the history of lingerie, so I started looking at 30s and 40s lingerie and that’s how I discovered the pin-ups from that era. I wanted to be photographed like a pin-up.

“I started working in a strip club at the same time as working in the lingerie store, and I thought this was like another opportunity for me to wear my lingerie, and have fun playing dress-up.”

Dita von Teese is “obsessed” with eggcups. The 36-year-old burlesque star is so “fascinated” by the small porcelain cups, she even took photos of some while eating breakfast on a flight from Paris to
Los Angeles.

Dita then posted the images on her Twitter account, writing: “You may not all know about my egg cup fascination. I collect them, I love Victorian ones! The most elegant way to have breakfast, no?

“I love Air France for making soft boiled eggs to perfection and little toast points to go with them.”

It’s not the first time Dita has admitted to a bizarre obsession.

Earlier this year, she professed her love for dirndls – dresses traditionally worn by peasants in the Alps of Germany, Austria and Liechtenstein.

The brunette beauty – who was previously married to Marilyn Manson – wrote: ”

Yes, I really am going to wear my dirndl to the ‘Sound of Music’ fan tour. I’m obsessed. I can’t be stopped! I may throw out all my other clothes.”

Burlesque beauty DITA VON TEESE is mourning the death of her beloved pet dog GRETA. The 16-year-old Dachshund died over the weekend (begs22Aug09) after a short battle with illness. Von Teese revealed the sad news on her Twitter.com page, writing,

“Thank you for all the concerns about my dog Greta. She passed away peacefully at home in my arms yesterday. I miss her more than I can say.”
