Dita is featured in the November issue of Cheesecake. Specifically, her new Wonderbra range is featured in the magazine’s regular “Things We Love” section.
Cheesecake is an independent e-zine, freely available for download in pdf form. Based in Dallas, the magazine publishes pin-up and retro related articles. Ava Garter was interviewed for the October issue, in which she talks about her career, burlesque and The Black Glove. Dita comes up in the interview a few times. I know many of you admire Ava as well (as do I) so the issue will interest you in general. There’s also some great pin-up girls from each issue!
The last 2 photos here are candids available on Ava Garter’s website. There are many more.
Dita and I have been friends for almost 20 years now. From moving out of our parents homes and becoming the top go-go dancers in the circuit in LA and Orange County to our first real strip club jobs ,then add all of the boyfriends and a couple husbands that have come and gone, she and I have experienced a lot of life’s ups and downs together. We have a great understanding of each other that is more like a sisterhood at times and I am so grateful for it. Some women live all of their lives without ever finding a great “Best girl friend” so I don’t ever want to take her for granted. When I was newly separated I came up with the idea that I might like to try going back on stage. Dita’s answer was simple and exactly what I needed to hear. She just said “Why can’t you? ” I thought about it for a while and realized that she was right. Anything you want is possible , all you have to do is go for it.
