Dita revealed that she is in Paris for meetings with perfumers to work on a scent.

The star gushed that her latest offering is going to be a standout smell.

“Big meeting this morning in paris to work with the perfumers on a new project… This one is going to be VERY unique, I’m excited! [sic],” she tweeted.

Earlier in the week Dita had revealed she is in the French capital for both work and play.

The raven-haired vixen mentioned photo shoots, costume fittings and fashion shows on her profile.

“Bonjour, Paris!” she wrote.

Striptease queen Dita Von Teese stands only 5-foot-5, but the powerful porcelain princess packs a provocative punch when she’s undressing for fans who bow to her as the International Queen of Burlesque. At the new Hyde Bellagio, the bombshell brunette ruled with a sultry midnight performance set against the dancing Bellagio Fountains.

Talk about champagne wishes! She popped the cork on a magnum once she’d peeled down to just pasties and a G-string after shedding her waist cincher, stockings, corset, bra and lacy gloves. Not a drop of the bubbly went to waste because she poured it all over her and took a couple of sips before climbing into her large champagne glass.

Her near-naked ambition sparked a frenzy of flashing cell phones and cameras, and there were just as many on the red carpet to start her night. Clubgoers swarmed her outside the lavish nightspot when she arrived looking glamorous in a black Herve L. LeRoux dress with Christian Louboutin stiletto heels and red lips. Hyde’s performance artists joined the pinup beauty, posing in cellophane dresses and masks.

“I wanted to come to Hyde because I know the group puts on great events. I knew this would be a fun party more than anything,” Dita said. “I’m bringing some of the showgirl burlesque back to Vegas. I’m doing the real version, which is the same way it was done in the 1930s and 40s. That’s what burlesque really was.”

Dita took to the stage at midnight Saturday in an haute-couture costume adorned with thousands of Swarovski crystals. It was a journey of fantasy and spectacle as she teased the cheering crowd, including yours truly and Editor Don Chareunsy. She danced around the mega-sized champagne glass peeling off layer after layer of clothing and untying the corset from her tiny, laced-up 17-inch waist. The crowd was transfixed: Not one person watched the Bellagio Fountains while she tormented with her torrid tossing, teasing and temptation.

Earlier when Dita and I chatted, she told me that she wants to live and work more this year in America after living half the year in Paris while traversing the globe for her appearances.

“I had to travel a lot promoting my lingerie and perfume lines and for Cointreau. My makeup line is next! I did six countries in 2 weeks just a month ago! It’s been a year, but I did get to Vegas under the radar to film a secret TV show 2 weeks ago. I wanted tonight to be a raucous, one-off, one-time performance with all the pressures off.”

The one-time lingerie sales girl who danced weekends at our Crazy Horse Strip Club continued: ”Coming to Vegas is always the most fun. I love being able to pull out all the stops when I build a show for Vegas. I know a lot of the shows here have copied my creations, but I’m still the original. The retro showgirl has been disappearing from Vegas, but I’m bringing her back.

“I appreciate Cirque, but we mustn’t let the history of Vegas vanish. We’ve got to retain risque! I don’t want what I do to become politically correct. The real good parts of burlesque have been taken away, but I think we can still be naughty and classy as we bare all. Let’s be honest: That’s why the audience comes in the first place!

“I’m not ready to hang up my G-strings, but that will come at some point. I’ve begun thinking about the transition, but I’m working hard for a long time to come. This May, we have a huge Live Nation tour. It’s a full production spectacle kicking off in Vegas this May. Life is good, and all my projects are humming nicely.”

After changing following her perky performance, burlesque’s brightest star mingled with friends in the club. Tonight, Hyde throws its second Lost Angels insider party with DJ 88 and Devon Lucian. Thank to Shane O’Neal and Scott Harrison for their photo gallery.

The stunning burlesque star is unveiling Von Follies by Dita Von Teese in February 2012 via Target Australia stores. The range will be hitting shops on February 8 – just in time for Valentine’s Day, and Dita is thrilled about the timing.

“It’s the perfect time to treat yourself or someone special to a glamorous piece from my new collection,” she told WWD.

“I am excited to see my Australian fans again.”

Dita will return to Australia in March to kick off the launch of Von Follies by Dita Von Teese. She will also hit the runway for Target at the L’Oréal Melbourne Fashion Festival.

The beauty’s underwear line is set to be a success says Murray Chenery, general manager of marketing for Target Australia.

“The product mix is a true reflection of Dita’s own personal style and Target is confident it will resonate with customers who are inspired by beautiful, affordable and great quality garments,” Murray explained.

Von Follies by Dita Von Teese is a 26 piece collection and features luxurious vintage-inspired garments and includes many of the star’s favourites such as high-waisted panties and overwire bras.

This is Dita’s second underwear line. In 2008 she teamed up with Wonderbra to design a capsule collection.

The burlesque star is unveiling the new line, titled Von Follies by Dita Von Teese, in February 2012 via Target Australia stores.

The new lingerie line will feature luxurious vintage inspired garments and includes many of her favourites such as high waisted panties and overwire bras.

“There are so many vintage lingerie pieces I love that I haven’t been able to find in all my years of collecting,” she said.

“I wanted to design pieces that are tributes to my vintage obsessions, to make them beautiful and functional, while modernising them for everyday wear. I’ve had a long-time fascination with the 1950′s era over wire bras. It’s something that has been quite a task to create, but the end result is so chic, and so unique, I’m very proud of it. It’s a statement piece meant to be seen.”

The line is designed to flatter the feminine curves. With this in mind, Dita ensured that her collection catered for a wide range of sizes with selected bra styles available up to an E-cup and briefs up to size 20.

“It was very important to me to offer lingerie in a large range of sizes,” she explained.

“Size range was one of the first things I asked when I was approached to create this collection. It was important to me to accomplish the task of making these beautiful things in sizes that can make any woman feel sexy and glamorous, and I’m very proud that we have been able to do that, while keeping prices affordable.”

Prices start at $17, with more elaborate bustiers and fitted corsets ranging from $79.

Burlesque star and style icon Dita Von Teese visited London this week to launch Cointreau Privé, a lavish pop-up bar at 215 Piccadilly (in what was the Pigalle Club). Dita is global ambassador for Cointreau and along with performing her ‘Be Cointreauversial’ show in a giant cocktail glass at the celeb-studded bar opening, last night she hosted a cocktail-making class which the Catwalk Queen team were lucky enough to attend.

Dita – looking as polished as ever in a Dolce & Gabbana lace dress with seamed stockings and Christian Louboutin shoes – claimed she never drinks alone, so with her guidance (and a bit of help from a master mixologist) we whipped up the bar’s signature cocktail, Cointreau Citrus and Spice, and joined her in a toast!

Cointreau Privé itself is modelled after Dita’s own home, with boudoir decor reminiscent of her signature style, and the amazing corseted costume she wore for her performance is now on display at the venue. The Cointreau Privé is guestlist only, but you can book a place and see Dita’s world for yourself by visiting Cointreauprive.co.uk . The pop-up bar is open until December 17th.

The sizzling beauty, Dita Von Teese attended the Lavazza marquee during Victoria Derby Day at Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne, Australia on October 29, 2011. 39-year-old diva chose to wear a ravishing red dress and looked nothing less than amazing. Hot and sexy, Dita Von Teese was looking super beautiful in red draped one-shouldered dress from her Dita Von Teese ‘Muse’ Collection. She teamed her dress with a pair of matching pumps. The stunning hottie carried a bright red clutch. She rocked an alluring Philip Treacy red hat adorned with flower and feathers. Dita accessorized her red dress with a pair of lovely earrings. Dita Von Teese opted for hot red lipstick and cat eye design. In short, this was gorgeous look for Dita Von Teese. She was truly looking magical in her red look.

Burlesque superstar Dita Von Teese and Cointreau have teamed up to create the “My Cointreau Travel Essentials”—an on-the-go bar that fits perfectly into an elegant, yet retro-style hat box. For a libation enthusiast such as myself, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to sit down with Von Teese at the Royalton Hotel in New York City and find out more.

“When I travel, I like to be surrounded by beautiful things,” Dita Von Teese says coyly about what inspired her to design the bar kit. How can you argue with that? In addition to a beautiful design, she also wanted it to be fully functional and serve a purpose. So, when you drink through all the Cointreau, you are still left with a coffret that is perfect for your travel needs. The relationship between Dita and Cointreau seems to be a perfect fit, a vintage inspired beauty who is famous for her burlesque performance that includes bathing in a cocktail glass and one of the world’s most famous spirits that is synonymous with elegance and taste. And with Cointreau’s slogan “Cointreauversial,” it seems like a match made in heaven. So what does Dita keep in her personal “My Cointreau Travel Essentials” bar? All the ingredients to make a classic margarita of course.

Aside from her Travel Essentials bar there a few other items that Von Teese can’t travel without. “It takes a lot for her to be her,” she says playfully. Of the many essentials she keeps by her side on the road, she always has her tech items: iPad and camera. It’s an easy way for her to keep in touch while traveling and to interact with her fans through Twitter.

When asked about some of her favorite collaborations, she tells us she she is very proud of her MAC Viva Glam campaign. It is a message that she stands strongly behind, and an important one for young women to hear, that they can elegantly protect themselves against HIV/AIDS and educate themselves. The MAC Viva Glam campaign has raised $200 million since it started. Paying tribute to the diva herself, Dita says she’s inspired by RuPaul and the work and effort he has put into the campaign. She doesn’t want to be just a face on a brand for the sake of exposure, she truly gets behind every project she is a part of. She still continues her fight against HIV/AIDS through different outlets such as the Lifeball in Vienna.

Of course, once RuPaul was brought up we had to ask if she would return as a guest judge in season 4. She couldn’t say, but she does hope to make an appearance. So, if the drag gods are listening, make this happen. Though, judge or not, it’s one of her favorite shows, and one of the few that she doesn’t miss when it’s on. As a woman that embodies glamour and never seems to have a hair out of place she let us in on a few secrets to stay glamorous on the go. Invest in a really great coat and sunglasses and always wear shoes that you can walk in through the airport and, of course, red lipstick. She says it’s all an “illusion”; if that’s an illusion then David Blaine can pack it up.

Va va voom! Burlesque beauty Dita Von Teese breezed into town Thursday night to make an appearance at the Mondrian Hotel. The always impeccably dressed beauty was doing her part as Cointreau International Ambassador, introducing South Beach jetsetters to “My Cointreau Travel Essentials,” a retro-style coffret containing a minibar with all the right cocktail accessories, including a jigger, hot pink shaker and atomizer.

Dita also kicked off a travel package with her name all over it. Guests staying at the Mondrian or other Morgans Hotel properties through Dec. 30 can get the luxe box in their rooms as well as “Drinks by Dita” suggestions.

We talked Von Teese, 39, who was born Heather Sweet in Rochester, Mich.

You are the expert on cocktails. What’s your favorite right now?

I’m loving margaritas. I never realized how easy they are to mix. There’s a misconception, but they only have three ingredients: lime juice, Cointreau and tequila. I mix them at home; they’re absolutely perfect and fresh.

Is this the drink you’ll be pulling together on Thanksgiving?

I already know that I’m going for a classic sidecar. It has the warmth of cognac, and I like that in the winter time. I live in L.A. but it can get chilly, in the 40s. I’m learning how to make the perfect one.

What are your plans for the big day?

I love entertaining. This year I’m bringing my family out from Boise, Idaho, to see me. My mother will help me, which is nice. A lot of years I had to do the cooking on my own. We’ll do turkey; I love the leftovers! I might do a healthier option for stuffing this year. I’ll see if I can make it with a wonderful quinoa and brown rice.

What other things do you have going on?

My [signature] scent is out in Germany, but is on its way to global access. It’s really elegant and sophisticated, sort of day to night. My motto is more femme totale than f emme fatale. I’m putting the finishing touches on my lingerie line and have a small dress line, a capsule collection. It accommodates voluptuous women, too.

Which celebrities do you think have great style?

So many celebrities have stylists and I don’t use one, so I admire people like Diane Kruger. She’s one of those girls who always looks great but doesn’t have a huge glam squad. Tilda Swinton always so looks so chic and interesting.

What is your beauty secret these days?

I am always glad to see the red lip is back. Really, it never leaves. It really is also about taking care of your skin.

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.”
