Montreal based performer and model Ella (aka Cicatrice), was severly burned as a child on approximately one third of her skin’s surface. The resulting scarring is still markedly visible, yet bizarrely beautiful in the collection of artistic nudes, shot by various photographers exhibited on her site – cicatrix.net.

Be sure to check out the the detailed story of her accident which is an affecting and fascinating read.

A girl who is renowned for nuding up in a giant martini glass has probably never had a lot of trouble attracting attention from boys, but if you don’t have one on hand, dita has helpfully shared with us a few more of her ‘tips for seduction’ in her book Burlesque and the Art of the Teese

Here are some gems curtesy of The sun - Dita’s guide to seduction (via A Socialite’s Life)

‘Apply lipstick in full view of your victim. This is particularly effective when done slowly and with a pretty compact. ‘

‘Eat sexy food such as strawberries and cherries. This isn’t about tying a cherry stem with your tongue to show off, it’s about effortless and natural seduction and this should be applied to all of the above tips.’

If all that sounds too difficult / embarrassing / archaic etc to try yourself, I find filling them full of beer works quite nicely also.
