Stripper bags a Count
Sunday June 14 2009
SHE may be a stripper, but she's got the deportment of a duchess. And Dita Von Teese seems to be joining the noble tradition of the courtly mistress. Like a modern-day Diane de Poitiers, she has won the heart of a nobleman many years her junior.
And so it has come to pass that our heroine has completed her epic journey from the bed of the self-styled "god of f**k" (ex-husband Marilyn Manson) to the arm of the count of a castle. Or to be more specific, Count Louis Marie De Castelbajac. The dashing Frenchman, who is young and handsome and titled, was recently seen gallantly lifting the rather large suitcases belonging to Mademoiselle Von Teese into the back of his car. Not a bad bag for the girl from Michigan.
Ignoring small-minded accusations that she is robbing the cradle, Dita was later seen defiantly dining out in a Parisian patisserie with the floppy-haired aristo. He's only 25 to her 36, but what he lacks in experience, presumably he makes up for in elegance and social standing. Not only that, he's the son of fashion designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac. This then, must be the man who can satisfy all of Dita's girlhood dreams in one foppish package: high society, sex and stunning couture. And perhaps, unlike Manson, this one might manage to keep his hands out of her make-up bag.
