I loved Dita Von Teese’s old house, but now she’s bought a larger, Tudor style home and decorated it very differently. (She still has her vintage taxidermy collection, though.)
This is the entrance hall. Originally, she collected taxidermied birds.
This was her old living room- Art Deco furniture, and the designer picked out the beautiful flocked teal wallpaper.
This is the new living room. Check out that tiger- the crown is a nice touch. Dita says all the taxidermy is at least 75 yrs. old.
She went bright red oriental in the dining room.
This was her old kitchen- retro & pink.
The new kitchen- she wanted it to look like a woman’s kitchen. Well, she’s got a teal Aga stove.
Rosy red velvet sitting room.
The old dressing table had a sultry glamour.
The new.
The old bedroom.
The new.
A collection of vintage hats adorned her old dressing room.
The new one is a converted closet.
This is the shoe room.
It has a lovely bath that matches the style of the house, but it’s not her usual Hollywood style. I don’t know, I just like the old house better.

im like a religious art piece. grotesque, haunting, full of melodrama and guilt and unsettlingly horny.
being a woman is like…yeah lol you can pursue self-fulfillment and happiness on the side but don’t forget your main eternal quest is for unattainable beauty and ritual degradation
[” – Men’s letters are proverbially uninteresting and uncommunicative – ”]
Charlotte Brontë, in a letter to Ellen Nussey, dated 7 November 1854
“Before everything, before even humans, there were stories. A creature at a fire conjuring a world with nothing but its voice and a listener’s imagination. And now, me, and thousands like me, in little booths and rooms and mics and screens all over the world, doing the same for a family of listeners, connected as all families are, primarily by the stories we tell each other. And after, after fire, and death, or whatever happens next, after the wiping clean or the gradual decay, after the after…when there are only a few creatures left, there will be one at a fire, telling a story to what family it has left. It was the first thing, and it will be the last.”
