Just when it seemed like Dita Von Teese had written off the idea of motherhood, the burlesque starlet may have had a change of heart.
It all started with her creation of Von Follies, a line aimed at new nursing mothers who want to feel a bit more beautiful. The collection has been in stores for a few weeks now, but it had its official launch at Destination Maternity in New York City yesterday.
As for the notion of motherhood, Von Teese has rethought it, according to a recent interview.
"Maybe it's in the cards for me or maybe it isn't, but it doesn't diminish me as a human being if it's not. It's definitely been something that's on my mind. It's one of the things that came up in my life. I've been thinking about it a lot since I created this line. Personally, I've pondered the conundrum of finding beautiful lingerie at that time. I've heard of the dilemma that my friends have faced in trying to find bras during the breast feeding phase of motherhood."
The Von Follies collection has already come under fire because some women think the last thing new mothers are worried about is sexiness. Von Teese counters that notion by pointing out that her lingerie is not aimed at seducing men. Instead, she created pieces she believes will make women feel good about themselves and, if a pretty nursing bra does that, then her mission has been accomplished.
Do you think this collection will sell as well as the others in Von Teese's empire? The "Queen of Burlesque" has more than proven to have some razor-sharp business senses up until now. Will this be another great idea that makes the 41-year old bombshell some serious cash?
