Dita Von Teese and the models New York- Arabstoday Dita Von Teese posed next to her group of models, whom were all chosen for their curvaceous or full-figured forms, at a photo call for her new underwear line “Von Follies” in Melbourne, Australia. The 39-year-old burlesque performer turned fashion designer, showed of her black lace bra under her purple wrap dress. Von Teese admitted recently that she had fired several models because they were too skinny. She said: “We gave a lot of models the axe for being too skinny; we probably turned away a dozen. It\'s important to me that we show curvaceous women and fuller-figured girls... Lingerie looks terrific on girls with shape.” She also wanted to showcase women with natural skin tones, and took to her Twitter account to reveal that she wanted the models to convey this.
