Dita's signature style has made her muse to some of the greatest couturiers and designers—influencing their collections, appearing on their runways, in their campaigns and on red carpets. She has also led the way as designer, collaborator and entrepreneur, with eponymous forays in fashion, beauty, music, publishing, spirits and entertainment production.  On stage, Dita is renowned for delighting audiences with a nonpareil romp into fantasy and spectacle, her original and ornate sets and haute couture costumes swathed in Swarovski crystals dazzling transcontinental audiences. Jean-Paul Gaultier, Elie Saab, Alexis Mabille, Jenny Packham and Zuhair Murad are among the fashion designers who create looks for her performances, and her custom footwear is always by Christian Louboutin. Many of her most awe-inspiring costumes are realized in collaboration with legendary corsetier Mr. Pearl and burlesque star-turned-designer Catherine D'Lish. So extraordinary are her performances and productions that Dita is a marquee ambassador worldwide for the artform.  Taylor Swift tapped Dita to play a burlesque-styled fairy godmother to the pop icon's Cinderella in the star-studded video “Bejeweled,” the chart-topping track off Swift's 2022 bestselling album, Midnights. Dita even shares two of her trademark martini glasses in the video, the two icons taking a sparkling spin within them. Weeks before, Dita teased cinema goers across the globe in the 2022 critically acclaimed film “Don't Worry Darling,” with Harry Styles, Florence Pugh and Olivia Wilde.  It is a style that Dita has also taken to market with namesake collections in lingerie, gloves and jewelry; hats with Hood London; and a signature clothing collection in collaboration with Austrian-based designer Lena Hoschek that is in the works. It always comes back to the curtain call, of course, and Dita's four full-length revues are the grandest tours in burlesque history: “Strip, Strip, Hooray!” (2013-2016), “The Art of the Teese” (2017), “Dita Von Teese and the Copper Coupe” (2018), and “Glamonatrix” (2019 and 2022-2023). These sensational spectaculars showcase a gender- and body-diverse cast of the crème de la crème of neo-burlesque performers, hailing from all over the world. In 2022, as in 2019 (a tour interrupted due to the pandemic), Dita and her star troupe staged “Glamonatrix” in historic theatres across Australia, New Zealand, Europe and the US—including five sold-out nights at the London Palladium, and packed houses at the prestigious Folies Bergère in Paris and Burgtheatre in Vienna. Dita made theatrical history bringing burlesque to the Opera Garnier Monte Carlo, with Prince Albert II of Monaco in attendance.  Dita Von Teese Links Tickets: https://www.ticketmaster.com/ditavegas Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ditavonteese Website: https://dita.net/ Subscribe to the audio podcast of Allison Interviews on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and subscribe to the video podcast on YouTube. :-) Learn more about your ad choices.

With his unique ball handling skills and 44-inch vertical, while he never dunked in an NBA game, Muggsy could dunk a ball. After initially playing for the then Washington Bullets, the expansion draft that occurred when the NBA added teams for the 1988-89 season put Bogues where he belonged, with the Charlotte Hornets. He quickly became a fan favorite in Charlotte, North Carolina, especially with younger fans. He raised his points-per game average to ten in the 1992-93 season and helped lead the Hornets to their first ever appearance in the NBA playoffs. They made the playoffs again in 1995. In 1997 Muggsy Bogues led with an assist per turnover ratio of 4.34. He was traded to the Golden State Warriors early in the 1997-98 season, but not before becoming the Charlotte Hornets' all-time leader in both steals and assists, which he still holds today. Muggsy Bogues' storied career with the NBA lasted fourteen years, and to this day, he remains the shortest player to ever make it into the NBA. In 2014, Bogues was named as the Hornets Ambassador and Special Projects Advisor, a position he still serves today. Muggsy Bogues currently travels around the U.S. doing speaking engagements, and he and his daughter Brittney Bogues run the Muggsy Bogues Family Foundation. The Muggsy Bogues Family Foundation works to empower underserved youth and families to improve their quality of life through food security, access to education, and workforce development. The Foundation envisions equitable, thriving communities where everyone has a shot at a better life.

Earlier this year he returned with an all-new EP, executive produced by DJ Mannie Fresh: Images. He also released a new music video, "The Last Days", which speaks to the current war and global crisis in Ukraine, and the impacts of the past two years that we have been feeling here at home.  Yello's upcoming documentary film will be the first step in significantly increasing minority and youth participation in midterm elections in years to come, as it simplifies the voting process for a younger generation. This informative, yet entertaining film project takes the power out of the president's hands. It equally balances the power throughout every branch, at every level of government in a way that young adults and even children will understand. It reimagines government in a way that we all wish we would have learned in school, and is an attempt to raise a politically aware generation of people. His goal is to explain not only the importance of voting, but exactly why it is absolutely imperative that it happens.

After surviving the liquidation of the Jewish ghetto in Central Poland where she lived as a toddler, Tova was four when she and her parents were sent to a Nazi labor camp, and almost six when she and her mother were forced into a packed cattle truck and sent to Auschwitz II, also known as the Birkenau extermination camp, while her father was transported to Dachau. During six months of incarceration in Birkenau, Tova witnessed atrocities that she could never forget, and experienced numerous escapes from death. She is one of a handful of Jews to have entered a gas chamber and lived to tell the tale. In her new memoir, The Daughter of Auschwitz, Tova immortalizes what she saw, to keep the story of the Holocaust alive at a time when it's in danger of fading from memory.

Together they have painstakingly recreated Tova's extraordinary story about the world's worst ever crime. In Part 1 of this very special interview, Tova paints a vivid portrait of the happenings that eventually led to Hitler's rise to power and the infiltration of the Nazi party throughout much of Europe, which led to the Holocaust.

From that moment on, music wasn't an option, but an imperative for the now twenty-five year old. The Marley family legacy of spreading love and social messages through trans-hypnotic, reggae infused music has crowned its new prince. By 2017 Skip was collaborating with multi-award winning and multiplatinum selling pop artist, Katy Perry, when she featured him on her hit single Chained to the Rhythm, bringing him mainstream attention. They year 2020 led to another collaboration when Marley featured Grammy nominated R & B artist H.E.R. on the remix of his single Slow Down. In spring 2020, Slow Down, with over 185 million global streams, became the quickest and biggest-streaming song in Marley family history, and elevated Skip to over 417 million total global artist streams, also Making Marley the first Jamaican-born artist to reach the #1 spot on the Billboard Adult R&B chart. At the same time, Skip became the first Jamaican-born artist inside the Top 15 on Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart in nearly a decade and a half. Collaborations with family, including his Uncle Damian Marley, on the single That's Not True deliver Bob Marley's time tested message, while Make Me Feel featuring Rick Ross and Ari Lennox introduce Skip to an audience that embraces a fusion of reggae, pop and rap sounds. Skip Marley is cultivating an eclectic catalog of music that speaks to a generation that refuses to be put into a box, but instead embraces diverse expression. The year 2022 shows no signs of slowing down, with Skip Marley recent single Vibe featuring Jamaican deejay and singer-songwriter Popcaan, and Marley's first U.S. headlining twenty city tour, Change.
