I would think the club would owe her the cash weather she performed or not. (Did you see what I did there with using "weather" since it is a Sandy story?)

Hurricane Sandy cost Dita Von Teese nearly $100,000 ... this according to a new lawsuit ... and now the burlesque queen is suing for what she's out.

Dita just filed the suit against Momentous Insurance Brokerage, claiming one of her strip shows in New York was canceled last October due to the superstorm ... and Momentous failed to get her the appropriate insurance to cover her expenses.

Dita claims she spent $96,920 in prep costs for the show (props, costumes, hotel accommodations, etc.) and it all went down the drain when the show was 86d.

According to the lawsuit, filed by her attorney Keith Fink, Dita says she should have had something called non-appearance insurance, which covers natural disasters like storms, but Momentous didn't get it for her. And even more infuriating... Dita says the coverage is standard in the entertainment business.

So Dita wants her jack back.

Why would the club be responsible for buying her insurance? Sure,they probably have "no show" insurance to cover THEIR losses if a act doesn't show up,but how the hell can they be responsible for the contract performers failing to insure themselves?

BTW,I sure would like to have the job of arranging her gigs at 100 grand per gig expenses.

The way I look at it, they contracted her to come to the club and increase their sales. It isn't her fault that they didn't open the club. They should pay her.

Nope,she is a private contractor,not a employee. The responsibility for insurance to cover loss of income rests on her shoulders. If she were a club employee it might be different,but not with her as a independent contractor.
