Dita Von Teese has been a darling of the fashion elite for several years now, thanks to her meticulous crafting of a total retro glamazon character. In addition to the gorgeous couture gowns, restrictive garments, carefully applied cosmetics, and china doll skin, Von Teese pays a lot of attention to her raven black hair, which is always - always - fashioned to look befitting of a 1940s or '50s pinup girl.
