Dita Von Teese is learning French. The burlesque dancer is taking lessons in the language so she can converse with her boyfriend, French aristocrat Count Louis-Marie de Castelbajac, in his native tongue. She wrote on her Twitter page:
“Why oh why didn’t I pay more attention in high school French?? Yes, now it really DOES seem like 20 years ago.”
Dita’s love of all things from France has extended to the decor in her house.
The 37-year-old beauty has bought a set of 18th century French sconces – a type of wall mounted light fixture which directs light upwards and are often used for torch lighting – for her home.
“Bought a pair of Napoleonic era sconces, reminds me of Jean Cocteau’s ‘Beauty and the Beast’… beautiful arms holding ornate candelabras.”
Dita recently revealed she wants to be a mother and will only start a family when she marries again.
“I’d like to think that if I did have children I’d do it the old-fashioned way and fall in love and get married and then have children.
“But I don’t know what the future holds. Maybe it’s on the cards for me or maybe it isn’t. But it doesn’t diminish me as a human being if it’s not.”
I hate that women feel the need to defend whether or not they want to have children. Dita shouldn’t feel this pressure to procreate. Of course it doesn’t “diminish” her as a human being!!

I just love her.
Me too. (Obviously)
I always thought she was French to begin with. My bad. She certainly has a French flair to her, non? Oui?
she does.
Unfortunately, a scary amount of women do feel that way. I’m 24 and lost both of my ovaries this year. I actually had a “woman” come up to me and say “god doesn’t want you to have children.” I could have killed that moron.
You could have, I would have. Some people are idiots. I hope you’re doing ok.
nice. i like the french language. too bad there’s not many ppl that i know to practice with :/

I always said I did not want children. In my 20″s my ex and I tried very hard. Not in the cards. I just inherit them. LOL. No regrets on my part.
I loved the photo shoot she did with Scarlet Johansen…amazing.
How did I miss that?! I just googled it…what a cool photoshoot. To me though, Scarlet ended up being kind of in Dita’s shadow. Maybe I’m just partial since I’m a Dita fan and not so much a Scarlet fan.
she’s fantastic, having a french beaux can be very inspiring!
I wish I paid more attention in high school french too! I want to re-learn it.
