On December 31, 2003, Dita Von Teese (also known for her short-lived marriage to Marylin Manson) was invited to perform at the Luxfrágil club in Lisbon.
Dita Von Teese (also called "Queen of Burlesque") is a dancer, (fetish) model, actress and the main person who turned burlesque, in all its forms and colors, into a popular visual art.
During this performance, Dita Von Teese presents her sensual, erotic dance in an enormous metal women's shoe. This shoe was specially designed for this performance, a great piece of work. The shoe is 3m20 long, 2m50 high and 1m10 wide, with a weight of approximately 200 kg. Great for a club, festival or even a showroom. And of course for the ultimate Dita fan, a beautiful, curious object.
Club Luxfragil has existed since 1998. The initiator of this project was Manuel Reis (he unfortunately passed away 5 years ago). Trip was next the owner of the aforementioned respected nightclub, known cult figure, and icon, especially a visionary regarding young artists who he regularly gave a platform. Many dozens of artists are in Luxfragil successfully launched. Some of these artists, including Joana Vasconcelos and Vhils are now known worldwide exhibitions in renowned galleries and museums. Not very important, but still nice to know. Actor John Malkovich, a great lover of Lisbon, is one of the shareholders of Luxfrágil.
