"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."
