Dita calls Brits kinky

Dita Von Teese may be responsible for bringing burlesque to the forefront this century, but she credits the brazen Brits for getting down and dirty last century. "I love being in London because it has a great history of burlesque," she told Highlife magazine. "One of the great pioneers at the turn of the last century was a group called Lydia Thompson and her British Blondes. They were the first girls to wear fishnet tights and lift their skirts and, by all accounts, they were very sexy in their G-strings." And there goes Family Guy busting British not-so-blue-balls for being prudes in their British porno gags. "The British are really quite kinky!," Von Teesed.
