Dita Von Teese likes sharing showers

Dita Von Teese loves having communal showers with can-can dancers.

The burlesque beauty, who has performed at France's legendary Crazy Horse cabaret club, bonded so well with the resident dancers she washed with them after the shows.

She said: "We all jump into this big communal shower together - all these beautiful Russian and French dancers, scrubbing each other with funny gloves to remove all the make-up."

Dita insists on wearing elaborate outfits for her live performances because she feels better equipped to entertain an audience with full make-up and perfect hair.

She said: "The thing I love about clothes is their power to transform - I sit there naked, with my hair in rollers, then the shoes and stockings come on. Everything is hooked and clipped, suddenly I am standing completely different and I'm like, 'It's time to go.'

"I often joke that what I lack in talent, I make up for in costume."
