Von Teese sacked first and only stylist

Burlesque star Dita Von Teese has spoken about her negative experience with a stylist.
The wife of rocker Marilyn Manson has developed a distinctive style of her own, and only hired a professional to advise her once before an off-the-mark suggestion led her to sack the individual.
She told Contactmusic: "I always do my own make-up for my shows, especially after an unfortunate incident a few years ago when I misguidedly hired a stylist/make-up person."
Von Teese, who is known for her contrasting wardrobe of sophisticated gowns, revealing bikinis and painful-looking corsets, was horrified when the stylist advocated denim.
"She picked out a pair of 1940s shoes and actually said that they'd go really well with a pair of jeans. I had to tell her she was no longer required," she remarked.
