Burlesque and the Art of the Teese/Fetish and the Art of the Teese
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.

Amazing photos with real writing !
For those of us into this . This book was surprisingly great. My Mom went to modeling school so I had some knowledge of these old actress and stuff. Most times you get a book like this it's a few well taken pics and articles any one can find on the web. Not here ! For a person who did not write journalism for a living. Dita could teach a number of them about research and writing ! The writing fit the book . It was well written for anyone to enjoyable read and her work ethic also shows in the photos . Those of us who watched Creature Feature will love the 50s page movie type photo. Only wish for a few more ...see it an you will think old movies like Them, Blob ,etc .
Entertaining, informative, delightful
As a fan of anything and everything Dita, I had to get this book, and I'm so glad I did! Strongly recommend it. It's not just for Dita fans, and not just for people interested in Burlesque. She discusses the history of Burlesque and Fetishes, she shares personal stories and influences. It's filled with some of the most beautiful and stunning photographs imaginable. It's a picturesque trip through history as illustrated, and written, by Dita. She also has great tips on etiquette and behaviour, she discusses all sorts of fashion. It's not a biography about Dita Von Teese. It's an expansive and thorough book, artistically displayed. For those who are curious, there is nothing "offensive" in her book, not in the least. The entire book is quite tastefully presented, articulately written, beautifully photographed. It's a large book, and it has a permanent place on my bookshelf. I have read it several times cover to cover, and will continue to. In fact I still pull it out. She expresses grace and gratitude.
Quality coffee table book
This book is a beautiful piece of art. Two sided/flip book with great photography quality photos. Dita von Teese feels like the glamorous girl next door.
Love It
I absolutely love Dita and this book has beautiful photographs as well as nice commentary/autobiography from Dita. Definitely worth buying.
Fantasy in the flesh! A party on every page!
A salute to burlesque and a wink at the fetish world. Totally sexy and delicious with lots of history - a celebration of all things sparkly, feathered and rubberized. Not too kinky, just a glorious peek into two very intriguing worlds via Dita's charming guidance and her very hot, but very tasteful photos.
Love it!
Perfect book to know all about how the girls at your favorite shows do their thing. Written by she who knows this world best, it’s both fun & informative. Worth every dime.
I couldn’t be happier with the book OR he seller
This book is INSANELY gorgeous... it’s as meticulously done as a Dita costume! It was also packaged and in PRISTINE condition when it arrived. I couldn’t be happier with the book OR he seller!
THE Definitive Dita Fanbook...
If you love Dita, this is the book you need. If you can have only one book, this is the one you want. Buy it before it goes out of print and becomes a super rare collectors item. Every picture is absolutely stunning.
On a magical tour with Dita Von Teese into the world of burlesque!
An amazing look into the history of burlesque with all the bubbly and lovely personality of Dita. This book was a fun and complete exploration into the world of burlesque then and now. I also loved the in depth look at Dita's story and inside look into her shows.
Awesome book
Good book with lots of info. Would recommend.
