ANTM - Challenge 1 - Guest Judge: Dita Von Honeycomb by tuneful87, on Flickr

Tyra: Dita, it's so lovely to see you! It's been ages since we last spoke.

Dita: Likewise. I'm honored to be here.

Tyra: This week the ghouls have big shoes to fill - YOUR SHOES!

Dita: Well, I certainly didn't invent the pinup, Tyra. But I do my best to emulate the class and sophistication of the good ol' days.

Tyra: Tell us about your latest burlesque act.

Dita: I've been performing at the Hellhouse Auditorium for a little over a year now. Think big props, an enormous spotlight, and several crates of corsets and interchangeable bubble bee wings.

Tyra: Uh...interchangeable?

Dita: Well, as a stage performer, I need to have the ability to change my look at a moment's notice. I had the wings I was born with surgically removed. I have over 650 pairs of artificial wings. You just HAVE to see them, Tyra.

Tyra: I suppose I understand where you're coming from. After all, I have just about as many hairpieces...

Dita: Speaking of which, your afro is quite beautiful.

Tyra: Why, thank you. Before Cycle 2 began, Janice Witchinson and I decided to have a hair-off -basically we will be competing to see who will have the biggest and baddest hair this Cycle. Unfortunately for Janice, she's losing. Badly.

Dita: Janice is a fierce competitor from what I've heard. I wouldn't underestimate her.

Tyra: The World's First Supermonster...hmph. Well, I was the World's First Fiercely Afro-licious Supermonster! I'd like to see Janice try to take that title from me!

Dita: Here's a hanky, dear. You've started to foam at the mouth a bit.

Tyra: Thank you, Dita. Thank you. *dabs mouth* So, what advice do you have for the ghouls for their first challenge?

Dita: Firstly, be confident. When it comes to 1950 pinups, you have to fully be in control of your body whilst remaining hot-to-trot. Good posture is essential. At the same time, you can't take yourself too seriously. '50s pinups were unequivocally classy, yet they have a bit of camp to them. Above all, have fun. Be passionate. Oh, and don't be afraid to show a little skin!

Tyra: Wise words, Dita. We look forward to hearing your critique at panel.

Dita: I can't wait!

Tyra: Before, I forget, here's your hanky!

Dita: Keep it, darling. *cringes*

Now that Dita has had a break on set, she's ready to answer questions from viewers. Who would like to start us off?

[tuneful87]

Me, oh, me!!!! *waves hand wildly*

Dita, what do you REALLY think about Tyra's hair?

[tuneful87]

Dita: Well, Tuneful my dear, an afro is certainly not suitable for a pinup. Just don't tell Tyra I said that. The last guest judge who got on Tyra Fangs' bad side ended up in the morgue. And we're not talking about Morgue Italia...

Me! 

Frankie:  Dita, what has been your most challenging shoot, your favorite, and the most embarrassing one?

Jordan asks: Ms. Dita, who's been your favorite photographer to work with?

[tuneful87]

Me! 

Frankie:  Dita, what has been your most challenging shoot, your favorite, and the most embarrassing one?

Dita: My most challenging shoot would have to be posing in a life-sized honeycomb full of sticky honey and clad in nothing more than a corset that squeezed my waist to the side of a pin. My favorite shoot would have to be the one in which I modeled alongside two hunky Vampires who pretended to be biting my neck, and er, other places. Thankfully the crew fitted their fangs with durable plastic guards, so there were no puncture wounds. My most embarrassing shoot would have to be the one in which I lost my unmentionables in the front of half a dozen cameramen!

Jordan asks: Ms. Dita, who's been your favorite photographer to work with?

Dita: The venerable Ali Mahdavi, wings down.

[TexasGal]

Frankie:  If there was one place you would love to shoot in, where would it be?  Least favorite place to shoot in?

Rhonda: Miss Dita! Have you done any tandem shoots with interesting monsters?

[tuneful87]

Frankie:  If there was one place you would love to shoot in, where would it be?  Least favorite place to shoot in?

Dita: I would love to shoot in the catacombs, but I'd never want to shoot in the ocean. There's nothing classy about seaweed in your bikini.

Rhonda: Miss Dita! Have you done any tandem shoots with interesting monsters?

Dita: Why, yes. That chimera was a blast, although he almost bit up my favorite stockings...

Rochelle: What is the funniest camera moment that you've ever experienced?

[tuneful87]

Rochelle: What is the funniest camera moment that you've ever experienced?

Dita: Oh, there are funny moments in every shoot. I work with a plethora of outstanding photographers, and to ease the tension on set, they're always making jokes and such. The jokes with the best punchlines usually start with, "Dita's waist is so small, she..."
