Corset star to present Indie Sex
August 1, 2007
Corset lover Dita von Teese is set to promote the Independent Film Channel's (IFC) new Indie Sex series, which starts this week.
The documentary itself will probably feature corset bondage and all sorts of fetishes as it explores the portrayal of sex in films.
The corset star told the Resident: "As a fan of the IFC, I immediately agreed. I am thrilled to represent this campaign because of its unapologetic approach to sex and sexuality in film. I'm proud to be a part of such a provocative and daring project. I suppose it mirrors my burlesque shows in a way."
She added that her favourite erotic films and those that inspired her were mostly those based in the past. "Most of my shows are inspired by movies from the 1940s and 50s, and there wasn't much sex involved back then onscreen. Because I am performing a strip, its more important for me to be less blatant about the sexual content of the acts to offset the nudity," she said. "I like the combination of innocence and the strip, because with too much sexual innuendo, it becomes predictable."
Ms von Teese concluded: "The Postman Always Rings Twice has some hot sex scenes, and so do Queen Margot and Henry & June. I tend to go for films set in the past because I love a flash of stocking and garter!"
