Dita Von Teese is stunning in this brand new photo shoot for Lifestyle Mirror‘s latest issue.

Here’s what the 40-year-old burlesque beauty had to share with the publication:

On getting into burlesque: “[Creating] elaborate striptease shows gave me an opportunity to express myself. It was something I just enjoyed doing.”

On her perfume line: “It was a dream come true for me to be able to create my own perfume. My signature scent is just my namesake. It’s a very elegant and sophisticated, voluptuous floral. That’s something I was really adamant about—making a really grown up, womanly fragrance. Glamour is something you can do yourself. I’ve always enjoyed the art of self-creation and that’s what I’m selling with my perfumes and my lingerie.”

On remaining true to herself: “I don’t have a persona I put on. People responded to me well and enjoyed watching me perform when I was being myself, and not trying to be sexy or trying to be somebody that I wasn’t. When I’m 90 years old, I will be wearing this red lipstick,” she says. “I’m not trying to please anyone else.”

Dita Von Tesse has made her way as a 21st-century burlesque star not just on looks; she's a history buff, especially when it comes to the cars of her favorite era. Which makes her sales pitch for a 1939 Packard 12o from her personal garage authentic — and far more alluring than those for most antiques thrown into an online auction.

Von Tesse isn't a stranger to classic cars; her garage has included a '46 Ford, a '53 Cadillac and a Jaguar among many others, all of which she drove on occasion around Los Angeles, and all of which she bought with value in mind. "I like having old things around me because there’s a certain artfulness and craftsmanship that isn’t possible now,” she told Forbes two years ago. “There was a time when everything was made with a certain aesthetic for beauty and art, and there are a lot of modern things that that’s not important to the people designing them.”

The '39 Packard 120 sedan in French Blue was one of her favorites, and Von Tesse deployed it in a number of photo shoots, but according to the listing, her recent purchase of a '40 Cadillac droptop required some winnowing of the herd. Overall, the Packard looks to be in good shape, and with a 10-year-old restoration, isn't so pristine to suggest a future life as a museum piece. The auction price has passed $23,000, which is a little dear for a Packard of this vintage, but collectors know there's some extra value in buying from an owner who appreciates the past.
