Editorial Review:

Product Description:
On one side, Dita Von Teese shares the beauty of the burlesque world, with bubblegum dreams and show tunes to strip to. Flip over for fantasies in fetish with dramatic costumes and the allure of submission.

Burlesque and the Art of the Teese

"I advocate glamour. Every day. Every minute."

I'm a good dancer and a nice girl, but I'm a great showgirl. I sell, in a word, magic. Burlesque is a world of illusion and dreams and of course, the striptease. Whether I am bathing in my martini glass, riding my sparkling carousel horse, or emerging from my giant gold powder compact, I live out my most glamorous fantasies by bringing nostalgic imagery to life.

Let me show you my world of gorgeous pin-ups, tantalizing stripteases, and femmes fatales. I'll give you a glimpse into my life, but a lady never reveals all.

Fetish and the Art of the Teese

You may have come for the fetish. Or you may just be sneaking a peek at this mysterious and peculiar other side. No matter what you've come for, there is something for you to indulge in.

My world of fetish may not be the one that you would expect. As a burlesque performer, I entice my audience, bringing their minds closer and closer to sex and then -- as good temptress must -- snatching it away. As a fetish star, I apply the same techniques. . . .

An opera-length kid leather glove, a strict wasp waist, an impossibly high patent leather heel, a severely painted red lip. . . . Come with me into my world of decadent fetishism.




Rating: - Burlesque and the Art of Teese by Dita Von Teese
Gorgeous cocktail table book; beautiful pictures, tastefully done, Artfully sexy. Dita is gorgeous; she gives some good tips - but overall - buy it for Art and not for its' literary content

Rating: - It's all about the art in The Art of the Teese!
If you like Dita Von Teese, the art is great in this book! The pictures are very interesting and it's an enjoyable book. However, I do wish that some of her magazine photos were in the book (the pictures were all from on stage performances and other places, but not magazine shoots). I absolutely love quite a few of the pics from tons of magazines that she has been in, and hoped that some were in the book as well. Other than that, it's a fun book to have!

Rating: - Great Book
I really like this book. It gives you a lot to read and a lot of pictures. It is very tastefully done. I would recommend this book for anyone at all interested in learning about either side. Plus the book itself is beautiful. It is something you could leave out on the coffee table. Some people might think since one side is about "Fetish" it will be dirty or something to be put away when someone comes over, but it's not at all.

Rating: - More in love with Dita Von Teese
I had this book read through twice with in two days. I loved the photography first and foremost. She really inspires to be glamorous no matter where you go and what you do. She also encourages people to realize they are not alone in some of their more intimate practices. This was an amazing biography/ inspirational piece. Well worth the purchase price.
