(Cover) - EN Star Style - Dita von Teese can't wait to shoot her tribute to iconic singer Yma Sumac.
The American burlesque artist is a huge fan of the Peruvian soprano singer, famed for her extreme vocal range and exotic costumes.
And now Dita is planning the ultimate tribute to her idol.
"Planning my Yma Sumac tribute photo shoot, starting w/the red satin capri pant-suit w/bugle beaded snakes & matching cape, of course (sic)," she posted on her Twitter page. "Was just given an incredible gift...the legendary Yma Sumac's exotic 1950s costumes, gowns, turbans, capes, coats!!! (sic)."
The 38-year-old star, who is dating French aristocrat Louis Marie de Castelbajac, has an upcoming tour in New Orleans, Dallas and Houston planned entitled Burlesque: Strip Strip Hooray!
She recently tweeted about looking forward to leaving France to come back to the US for the tour.
"Last few days in Paris. Things I won't miss: angry talk radio in taxis, being late due to manifestations in the street, French saran wrap (sic)," she wrote. (C) Cover Media
