She posted a plea to her Twitter followers after her dog went missing but Dita Von Teese’s search for her missing dog Eva has ended in tragedy.

The burlesque dancer,39, has learned her pet pooch has died and she posted an update to her social networking site.

She said: ‘My beloved Eva passed on tonight. Thank you for all your kind words. It means a lot to me.’

Exactly how the pet pooch passed away is unknown.

On Monday the model appealed to fans to help her find her beloved canine after it went missing.

She posted to her WhoSay account: ‘My dog Eva is missing, if anyone in Los Feliz/LA sees her, email Cali@dita.net. Good thoughts for her return are also appreciated.’

Dita also posted a series of pictures of her pet as well as a shot of herself in lingerie with the long haired Dachshund.

The burlesque star was often seen out and about with her dog and she often included her furry friend in photoshoots with her.

Atlanta fans of Dita Von Teese, that femme fatale, model, burlesque star and actress with that unmistakable 1940’s retro chic, is now launching her very own lingerie line for Target Australia.

The very impressive vintage inspired lingerie collection is called Von Follies and includes a collection raging from Australian dollars $17 for a mesh G-string to $145 for the Von Follies Animal Print Fitted Chemise – all in extremely good taste and very, very sexy!

Von Teese explained that it was important for her to “accomplish the task of making these beautiful things in sizes that can make any woman feel sexy and glamorous,” and she’s “very proud” that they have been able to do just that, while keeping prices affordable.  They feature E cups for bras and go up to Australian size 20 in briefs.

As for the design, the pieces were inspired by Von Teese’s private collection of vintage lingerie, to which she added, “There are so many vintage lingerie pieces I love that I haven’t been able to find in all my years of collecting.  I wanted to design pieces that are tributes to my vintage obsessions, to make them beautiful and functional, while modernizing them for everyday wear.”

DITA Von Teese has cemented her love affair with Melbourne, scheduling a whole week to explore the city.

The burlesque beauty will fly into Melbourne’s Tullamarine Airport on Monday morning ahead of the L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival.

Von Teese will have plenty of time to get over her jetlag, with her first public appearance scheduled for March 9, where she will appear at Target in Chapel St to plug her Von Follies lingerie range and greet fans.

In a world first, the burlesque queen will don a selection of her favourite smalls on the LMFF catwalk at Central Pier, Docklands, the following night, accessorised with vintage pieces from her personal collection.

And, unlike many celebrities who jet in and out within 24 hours to promote their products, the femme fatale is making the most of her Melbourne sojourn.

The dainty 39-year-old is booking tickets to watch burlesque at The Famous Spiegeltent at Melbourne Arts Centre during her stay, and has flagged her desire to eat fresh seafood at a bayside restaurant.

Last year’s Derby Day Lavazza guest couldn’t get enough of our city, sampling Asian fare at Flinders Lane favourite Chin Chins and Albert Park’s Aja, and dining at Grand Hyatt’s Collins Kitchen and Grossi Florentino.

The cheeky glamourpuss was also rumoured to have caught the eye of a Melbourne male model.

Dita Von Teese Performs at Hyde Bellagio Las Vegas | Sunset to Sunrise, Evenings Begin at 5

Performing artist and model Dita Von Teese is perhaps one of the most important fashion icons to have emerged over the last decade. A real raven haired beauty, the former spouse of lanky goth Marilyn Manson has almost singlehandedly rekindled interest in 1940?s glamour.

From corsets to cabaret, Dita has showcased her love for retro all across the world. As comfortable in a revealing lace negligee as she is in an elegant ball gown, Von Teese swiftly became a pinup for both sexes and has appeared on the front cover of everything from Playboy to Elle.

Her unique style and determination to showcase more avant garde garments has found her the focus of dozens of style columns and blogs from around the world. And whilst many of these writers might not have the courage to step out in quite the same get up as Von Teese, there’s an almost unanimous desire to applaud her for the way she dresses.

Now a big enough name to front whole advertising campaigns on her own, the star still finds time to strut her stuff on the world’s catwalks. At just 5 ft 5, she might not seem like your typical runway model but that hasn’t stopped the likes of Jean Paul Gaultier and Vivienne Westwood asking her to participate in their collection launches. And their decision to hire her has always been rewarded with a head turning performance.

As successful and recognisable as she has become, it probably comes as no surprise that Von Teese has been courted for both film and television roles over recent years. To her credit though, she’s been incredibly cautious with what she has taken up – preferring to accept roles which allow her to preserve her own unique 1940s style. It’s not often you have someone shunning the advances of Hollywood in an effort to preserve their own sense of style, and for that Von Teese has to be applauded.

As the year comes to an end, we asked Dita to select a few of her highlights of the past 12 months, from music and fashion to beloved kitchen appliances…

Christian Louboutin’s new book, ‘Christian Louboutin’
A massive book filled with beautiful images illustrating Christian’s personal and professional history with never before published photos, it’s a great gift for any glamour girl.

Amy Winehouse’s album ‘Lioness’
It hasn’t been released yet but Amy was my favourite modern singer and I love the one track that has been released.

Monarchy’s album ‘Around The Sun’
Monarchy is one of my favourite bands and I really love this album. I listen to it a lot while I’m getting ready for my show or driving in my car. Monarchy is also playing a DJ set at the opening of my speakeasy, so I’m really excited about that.

My blender
It may not seem very glamorous but a super-powered blender is amazing for making healthy green smoothies and soups. I have a cult of friends that have all become as obsessed as I am and we share recipes. It’s an important part of my beauty regime to drink lots of healthy greens.

My diamond-back signature seamed stockings
My signature stockings are made on the same machines as they were in the 1940s, with all the details that make a true couture stocking. My fully-fashioned diamond back seams are so elegant and unique, I get compliments on them all the time. (Dita’s stockings are available at teese.us/stockings)
