I'm shy, really: The burlesque star insists she's not an exhibitionist
Showgirl: Dita describes her performances as 'empowering'
She visited Movida nightclub after enjoying a dinner with English musician Adam Ant.
She tweeted: 'I just had dinner with Adam Ant, he's in full Westwood regalia,& he's brilliant! Isn't it grand when your idols exceed your expectations?'
The star spoke about her profession earlier this week, saying she's comfortable being called a stripper.
'I have never been an exhibitionist and I didn't get into this, so I could flaunt myself,' she told the Daily Mirror.
'I set out to do burlesque because I love the history of showgirls and like the concept of creating my own show.
'I find it empowering and liberating when I'm performing – I am the director, stylist, choreographer, all of it – and I honestly don't think too much about the nudity until people remind me of it.'
She added: 'For me, it's like an actress performing in a nude scene. The strip was a huge part of burlesque in America in the 1930s and ’40s. But I am a stripper and I don't mind being called that.
'I like the word and I understand the true history of burlesque, which is very similar to modern stripping. It is part of the evolution of the striptease.'
