say my name

A common question I get is: How exactly do you say Dita’s name?

Answer: Deeta

When I started writing Deer in Headlights, and had typed Aphrodite about 50 times, I knew I had to figure out a nickname for her. Certainly these modern characters wouldn’t call her something so formal. Aphro wouldn’t really work. But Dita…that’s something to go on.

Dita is a nickname for Edith. And how appropriate that there are a few famous Dita’s out there, including…

The original Dita

Dita Parlo – a German actress from the early 1900′s.

 

In the 90′s, Madonna’s alter ego for the production of her book Sex was named Dita.

And, my favorite Dita: Dita Von Teese, the burlseque dancer.
