A master of seduction makes you want to be part of their space
The Queen of Burlesque Dita von Teese shares pearls of seductive wisdom, and tracks to support the endeavor.
From Valentines Day, 2016, through March 14, 2016, casual fetishists to hardcore romantics can each enjoy a limited edition vinyl release of “Soundtrack For Seduction” from Dita Von Teese. Special versions include autographed; ‘kissed’; and a personalized dedication version. Above, Dita talks with 12on12, the visionaries behind this collaborative vinyl pressing. She discusses her mindset behind sensual picks that place old starlets like Peggy Lee beside contemporary music crushes like Blood Orange, Cat Power, and that Todd Terje x Bryan Ferry cover of Robert Palmer's "Johnny and Mary" (<3 <3 <3 <3). Self love, binary love, group love... regardless of participants, Dita's soundtrack portends great motion of the heart(s).

But what good is love that can't be recollected in a heightened state of passion. A parting gift, a flashback to the time Dita von Teese seduced Scarlett Johansson.
And for those struggling to find love in the digital age, perhaps the key isn't forcing yourself in, as to behave in such a way that you're invited. Just sayin'.
