Seattle: How to Make Like Dita Von Teese, Minus the Part Where You Divorce Marilyn Manson
http://www.jaunted.com/story/2007/1/26/175951/844
By now all gossip addicts (and the rest of us who have to be online all day) have heard about Marilyn Manson's breakup with his burlesque superstar wife, Dita Von Teese. Sad, because that one was really meant to last. Manson reportedly left his cute 'n' classy wife for mini-Dita Evan Rachel Wood, 19, who we can only assume thinks it's totally gonna last this time. To each their own, we guess. Whether Dita's composure during tumultuous times has inspired you to tap into the magic of burlesque yourself, or you simple want to see her in action, we've got a few suggestions.
In Seattle, Miss Indigo Blue's Academy of Burlesque accepts both male and female students, and promises to teach you "how to twirl your tasseled pasties in at least 5 different ways!" In San Francisco, Bombshell Betty offers Burlesquercise workshops that turn burlesque basics into a workout. And in Montreal, Mademoiselle Oui Oui Encore offers classes, available to women only, near the Mont-Royal metro stop.
If you just want to cheer Dita on, she'll be performing on February 9 and 10 at the Triple Door in downtown Seattle.

http://www.jaunted.com/story/2006/10/9/11412/4892
There's an advanced burlesque class going on Wednesday at the Museum of Sex in New York. Burlesque babe Peekaboo Pointe will be leading a workshop focusing on vintage burlesque viewing, name picking, and--ah, yes--pastie making! Too bad it's only open to graduates of Peekaboo's 101 class. Still, you know what corner to hang around if you want to pick up a dashing babe of your own. Hey, if Marilyn Manson can do it, who can't?
But if Burlesque ain't your thing, the museum is still chugging along and ready for you. Yes, this is the same place that had the "bust" of Hilary Clinton--that was done by the same guy responsible for the sculpture of Britney Spears giving birth...and your temporary blindness. Current exhibits include "Peeping, Probing & Porn" and "Stags, Smokers & Blue Movies". Those interested should stop by the museum's website first, where you can print out a coupon that will give you $5-off coupon on admission--at $10 rather than $15, the discounted entry fee is pretty fair.
