Even
if she was washed up on a desert island, we’re sure Dita
Von Teese − the woman who breathed new life into the art of
burlesque − would still manage to find a stage on which to perform.
And watching from the audience you might find Bear Grylls and
Captain Jack Sparrow as well as her beloved cat Aleister.
Decorating a hut.
Having to eat every few hours.
Setting my hair in hot rollers.
Bear Grylls.
Captain Jack Sparrow, because I’m sure he would know how to hang
out on an island.
A big sunhat, my cat Aleister and a warm fur coat for chilly
nights.
I would probably panic about how I’m going to keep warm when it
gets cold.
Whatever got me into that position – whatever landed me there,
that’s what I would regret doing.
Mass shootings and the other awful things that are happening in
the world.
My wardrobe and electricity.
Club Tropicana by Wham!
It would need to be a huge book. Maybe Gone with the Wind for a
bit of glamour.
A delicious steaming hotpot pie.
Leonardo.
Gatherer.
