In 1990, her senior year at University High School, 18-year-old Dita – or Heather Sweet as she was known back then – posed for her high school yearbook. Few could have forseen the raunchy future ahead of her, in which she has become famous for writhing around in a giant martini glass. But behind that sweet smile, as she approached her 18th birthday a steely Heather knew exactly what she wanted to do when she passed that milestone. And in the same year the yearbook picture was taken, she began the metamorphosis which set her on the path to fame and fortune. Dita said in an interview: “As soon as I was of legal age I wanted to take my clothes off and be photographed recreating old pin-ups.” And at just 18-years old, she arranged a shoot with a photographer who had taken pictures of her older sister for Penthouse, and posed in just a pink and black corset. She gave the pictures to her then-boyfriend for his birthday. Born Heather Renee Sweet in Rochester, Michigan on September 28, 1972, she adopted the name Dita as a tribute to silent film actress Dita Parlo, and her breakthrough 2002 Playboy cover gave her the last name “Von Teese”.
