(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Dita Von Teese doesnt think being bound and gagged is wild, because its just her job.

The burlesque dancer is famed for performing raunchy routines, most notably for her dance involving an over-sized Martini glass. She knows most people expect her to have an outrageous personal life, but says that is far from the truth.

I dont think its very wild because its not like Im married to the President of the United States. Im a burlesque dancer, its striptease, whats racy for me? Making erotic films, who cares? she said. Or being tied up in bondage and ball gagged, thats what I do for a living basically.

Dita is renowned for her old-school Hollywood glamour look, which sees her dying her hair black and rarely seen without a slick of red lipstick. She revealed people always seemed shocked when they see her in person as they think her look is just an image for work, rather than how she appears every day.

I was thinking about that this morning because people do say to me that I look better in person, she told Australian radio hosts Kyle and Jackie O. Of course I take it as a compliment but I also think, Wow, do I take a terrible picture? Unlike a lot of photoshoots celebrities do I do my own hair and make-up so its possible for me to look the same in pictures as in person because I can do it myself and I dont need the team. I use hot rollers. (C) Cover Media
