14. Dita Von Teese
Before Dita Von Teese became one of the most successful burlesque dancers around, she worked the pole as a stripper. Here’s her explanation of the natural progression: “I started working in a lingerie store and that is where my love with vintage style, especially vintage lingerie, started. Then I started looking at pin-ups and I became obsessed. I did my research and learned most of the pin-up girls were burlesque dancers. From there, I started working in a strip club in the early ’90s because I wanted to emulate burlesque. From there, I got a following, the show got much more elaborate and here I am.”
