Dita Von Teese may be ready to move on from her marriage to Marilyn Manson, but circumstances have kept the pair in contact.

“We’re in touch,” Von Teese, 34, told PEOPLE Thursday at the julib.com party for the musical Wicked at Hollywood hot spot Social Hollywood. “We’re still married. We’re going through the [divorce] process but we are not friends.”

“When I say ‘friends,’ I mean friends,” she explained, making air-quotes with her fingers. “But we don’t hate each other or anything.”

Von Teese filed for divorce from Manson, 38, in December after a year of marriage.

Since then, she says, she’s been keeping busy with work – which includes performing as a burlesque dancer and promoting safe sex as a spokesperson for Viva Glam and the MAC AIDS fund.

“I live for adventure and experience and I’m having a really wonderful time in my life,” she said. “It’s a new renewal for me and a new chapter in my life and I’m excited about what happens next.”

At Social Hollywood, she performed at the Wicked Witch-themed soiree before a standing-room-only crowd that included actresses Tatayana Ali and Dominique Swain and Backstreet Boy Howie Dorough.

Asked about whether she could relate to the theme of the evening, she said: “I don’t really have much of a wicked streak in me. My wicked moments I usually leave for times when I’m on stage, [but] I have a bit of a naughty streak in me. I’ve got a little bit of the good witch and a little bit of the bad witch in me.”

What do you think of her outfit?

We’ve all dreamt of fitting into our old high school jeans but now Burlesque stripper, Dita Von Teese, has pulled off the near impossible, squeezing her waist size down to 16inches – smaller than the average waist size of a three year-old.

The estranged wife of Goth rocker Marilyn Manson slinked onto stage in Munich, Germany, shaving an extra 5inches off her normal 21inch waist.

The 34-year-old almost starves herself days before a performance, eating only protein and small amounts of steamed vegetables. Dita said: ‘I love the feeling, though. It’s like being completely tight.’

Marilyn Manson is trying to block any future claim of spousal support from estranged wife Dita Von Teese in divorce papers filed today.

Manson also lists the date of separation from the burlesque dancer as Halloween (aw, how romantic!) - not Christmas Eve as she claimed.

Both Manson, 38, and Von Teese, 34, cite “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their split.

Manson attempted to block any claims of spousal support, although Von Teese currently has not asked for any. He also wants her to pay her own legal fees, while she is seeking to have him pay for the divorce. Von Teese filed for divorce on 29 December, after just over a year of marriage.

Marilyn’s a bitch.  But that’s just my opinion.
