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.

Worth the money

Love the book such Beautiful art and also a good read.

A great gift for any pin-up or glamour collector

And very simply the best book of its kind -- beautifully produced, with stunning visuals by great photographers, superb art direction and, of course, Dita. She re-invents glamour. It takes a remarkable model and some great stylists to hold your attention through a one-woman "show" like this, but she does it, and looks great throughout, over the course of an unbelieveable variety of settings, wardrobe, lack of wardrobe, styles and situations. Nothing lewd at all, in fact there is no nudity in this book. It's the "teese" that keeps you interested. You will not go wrong, a very, very well done book that you will be happy to own.

High quality book with artful and elegant photos and a bit of rather light hearted history.

This is the perfect coffee table book. It’s very tasteful and fun to flip through.

Just as describe

Perfect condition

Prestine condition!!

Was in BEAUTIFUL condition.....absolutely love it!!

Yay for Dita!

So awesome! I love Dita Von Teese and this book is amazing because you get to know her and her knowledge of her job. I really enjoyed reading it and her pictures are amazing!! I love the whole 2 books in 1. It is a big book which isn't bad but it caught me off guard.

Good used Buy

Beautiful Book

Beautiful Book, Fast Delivery, What’s not to like!💋

Great book!

I love Dita. She is a glamorous seductress. This book is about her love for glamour, burlesque and vintage style. It explains everything about her road to discovering burlesque. If you love vintage style this book is a MUST! The other half of the book is "FETISH and the art of the teese" It makes clear what fetish is really like, brings up to light a lot of the miths and clears up the truth about fetish. It is for mature audiences, several soft core pictures and explicit written content. I recommend this book for sexual self-discovery and the love of the "TEESE"!!!

the talented dita, two books in one!

This book is beautifully written and it's a two sider! One side is a look into the beautiful burlesque relm and the other is a peek into the fetish world. Both sides reference one another and it's nice to see how the two "personalities" intertwine. I bought the book because I have an admiration for Dita and I've always loved the pin up and burlesque style and I was overjoyed when I opened up the pages! The book is deliciously narrated by Dita with a peek inside history, costumes, corsets, stories of the good old days, her attachment to the style since she was a girl and many more gems. The photography is well done and she gives tips and styles to become one with the cheesecake burlesque style and a fetish style. The fetish side of the book turned out to be my favorite of the two. Dita made it so simple to see how fetish has grown into a chamelion of sorts and it's not all about whips and gags, it can be about sky high heels and rubber outfits! There is more a desire to be the damsel in destress and not all punnishment (although it is encouraged as long as it doesn't harm you!) I reccomend this book to anyone who is interested in the culture and lifestyle that Dita is keeping alive! Drink it up!

Fascinating

Great value! Very interesting book. Beautiful photos and enjoyable reading content.

First class publication I would recommend to anyone that appreciates great physical art

Very well done! First class publication I would recommend to anyone that appreciates great physical art!

Erotica in good taste

Dita Von Teese is truly an American Aphrodite in every way. This is a hard cover coffee table book. Dita models the burlesque fashions of nearly every decade of 1900's and provides interesting commentary regarding the fashion. Other than a butt in profile, the pictures are erotic simply because Dita is a goddess.

Beautiful erotic pictures in excellent taste

Dita Von Teese again shows her excellent taste in her homage to classic strip tease and her fetish photos. She explores the entire range of burlesque from the 1800's through the 1950's with great attention to the details which make the looks authentic. This book reflects the pride Dita takes in her profession.

The words are just as interesting as the pictures. Seriously.

Very interesting insight into the past of both Dita Von Teese and burlesque in general. Full of bits and bobs of the constant, everyday glamour Teese lives.

Gorgeous Coffee Table Book

I first saw this lying around at a friend's party, and it ended up becoming a conversation piece. So I got it for myself, and it does the same for my gatherings too. Lots of fun and gorgeous, naughty photography!

Love it

Great book, beautiful photos, very well written.

Teese history, style and burlesque

Fantastic for lovers/dancers of burlesque and fans of Dita von Teese and the tease.

Not just a teese.

This book delivers. Turning the glossy pages was like stepping into a fantasy world. The burlesque history is tied in nicely with Dita's own experiences. My favourite parts were the makeup tips on how to look like a burlesque or movie star from the 20s to the 50s. The photography is amazing all throughout. The other side, the dark side if you will, of fetish is portrayed in a light that it doesnt often get. Nothing crude, actually no full frontal nude images. Everything is tastefully done.

Dita does her homework

The research behind the costumes, make-up and performance is very inspiring. The photography is excellent. For 'nudie' books there are far better, but for burlesque reference and style is book is worth every cent.

Gotta Love Dita!

I had this book before but I must've leant it out and forgot who has it. So glad I was able to find it on Amazon at a reasonable price.

Simply outstanding!

The photography is superb, the layout is fantastic, the concept of two books in one is wonderfully unique. Buy this one in hardcover before it's gone and you're forced to buy a cheapy paperback later - an outstanding book and magnificently produced.

wonderful book for anyone who likes Dita

I love this book! The two sides to the book are interesting and capture what the genre is all about. I'm not going to bother with an extensive review (it's all been said already) other than to say I highly recommend this one.

Beautiful lush imagery

Burlesque, the age of glamour, the 20s-60s constantly enthrall and fascinate me so I couldn't resist buying this book. I loved both sides - and it seems my friends loved it to as I had to buy another for a friend for her birthday (she insisted after seeing it)... and other friends are getting their own copies. I liked it.

cool book

I got this for my girlfriend as an xmas gift. The book is cool. To be honest probably more of a coffee table book but cool none the less

Beautiful

Love it

Nice pictures

Love this book! Beautiful pictures. I have given this book as gifts to multiple friends and family and they love it.

Five Stars

Great

Elegance in Spades

I am a huge fan of Dita's. Her style is absolute perfection. If only more Hollywood stars took some pride in their appearance and looked up to Dita for tips, Hollywood might see a return to it's "golden age". I love her hair, it's always so shiny and in place. Her clothes are to die for, she knows just how to put everything together just so. She always looks as if she just stepped off a photo shoot. Any helpful hints and suggestions I can get from Miss Dita will be so helpful as I too have a fondness for vintage clothing, shoes, gloves, jewelry, etc. Thank you Dita for sharing yourself with us. Long live the Queen!

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.

Love, love Dita! Always amazing photos and what a great gal!

Gorgeous book

Gorgeous photos, beautiful layout. I love this book!! Brought a smile to my face. I especially love the double sided/flip feature. If you love Dita, you will love this book!

I didn't love it buy my friend did

This was a gift purchase and not my style or taste, but it is what my friend wanted and she loved it!

great book!

This is a great book! This is a book of larger size, full of prety pictures of Dita. The text in it is quite mixed, a bit of fashion histroy, a bit of tips on burlesque, a bit of make up construcions and a bit of personal stories. It gives a wide spectrum of Dita`s interests. It`s great as a start, gives a knowledge base you can go out of and start your personal research, but don`t expect a book that describes burlesque from the tip of it`s toe to head.

wonderful book

This book is a gorgeous addition to any coffee table or collection, its filled with beautiful pictures of amazing burlesque dancers and their fabulous attire! I love it!

DITA

If you are a fan of DITA, burlesque, modeling, style, fashion, or photography this is a must own. It sat on my coffee table for years, but now is art on my wall.

Oh Dita.

Besides being in love with Dita already this book is executed beautifully. When I purchased the book I didn't even think about the fact that she had actually put words with those pretty pictures. After reading everything she wrote it got me more inspired to get my modeling up to par and start working harder to become the vixen I want to be.

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

Stunning

Although this book is filled with text along the sizzling photos of Dita, it took me several days to actually start reading it instead of just looking at the pictures. This is no cheap approach on the matters of Burlesque and Fetish: this is as glamorous as it gets. Dita von Teese is stunning in every single photograph!

Beautiful Images but...

Dita looked great in the images, as she always does. Personally I appreciated the autobiographic aspects of the book as well, as alot of her take home message is that any woman from moderate beginnings can become a glamour puss vixen. I think however, in her efforts to rehash the history of Burlesque, she missed quite a few of the more fringe performers throughout the ages, which was unfortunate. Perhaps in an effort to keep her content more high brow, I suppose. I would have loved a deeper exploration of the relationship between herself and other performers, as that would help this book seem less one dimensional. Definitely a great book for a fan, but not a good Burly 101 book, not by a long shot.

Gorgeous!

For fans of burlesque, this is a phenomenal book. The pages are thick and deliciously glossy.. the pictures even more so!

YOU'RE THE BEST! A book to treasure

Classy, imaginative and sexy

For not knowing who Von Teese was, I was really knocked back by the imagery of this book. Great wardrobe, awesome colors, and great shoots make this a must have to show and talk about with others. I bought this for my girlfriend and Im glad I did. Well worth the price.

Love it!

If nothing else I love it for the pictures! But the stories are also fun to read. Great coffee table book for the Burlesque or Fetish fans.

The Best Of Erotic Beauty & Art

This is a very well put together book about a very erotic and beautiful pin-up and fetish model, Dita. One of the better books I have bought about erotic sexual beauty, and yet can actually be displayed on your coffee table. A very nice addition to your pin-up model book collection, and a blast from the past.......

Beautiful Photo Book of Gorgeous Burlesque Star Dita Von Teese

Gorgeous Coffee Table book. Pictures of exotic, elaborately done costumes of an era goneby. Dita tells about her life before becoming the famous Burleque Queen who married Marilyn Manson for a short time. Had the pleasure of seeing her perform twice in New York City and autograph this magnificent book. She is an amazing artist. The other side of the book is a foray into Fetish, so there is something for everyone's tastes. Fabulous photography and such an inspiration to the glamour of old style Hollywood Burlesque.

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

'Burlesque and the Art of the Teese / Fetish and the Art of the Teese' is a stunning look at the history of both Burlesque and Fetish from the point of view of one of the most famous models and Burlesque dancers of today, Dita Von Teese. It has stunning imagery and is well presented, without being lascivious or in poor taste. This book is class all the way. The various sections focusing on the history of both arts are fascinating, with information you would never have considered and you can tell Dita is both knowledgeable and passionate about her art. If you're a fan of Dita or just interested in Burlesque or Fetish then this is an excellent place to go, and though slightly unorthodox, this would make a wonderful coffee table book. Feel free to check out my blog which can be found on my profile page.

The queen of modern burlesque speaks!

Dita Von Teese (real name: Heather Sweet, but to all her fans, she's just "Dita") has loved vintage clothing, sexy lingerie and burlesque all her life, and over the last decade has become the true queen of modern striptease, reviving the glories of 1940's and 1950's fashion almost single-handed (when she's not peeling it off in one of her routines!) As webmaster of a site devoted to opera gloves, I especially appreciate her love of long gloves, which feature in so many of her tens of thousands of pictures. "Burlesque and the Art of the Teese"/"Fetish and the Art of the Teese" is, as the title implies, really two books, devoted to what you might call the "nice" and "naughty" sides of Dita. Side 1 is basically a historical overview of burlesque and striptease, profusely illustrated with gorgeous color and B&W photos of Dita in her persona as the heiress of Gypsy Rose Lee. Side 2 is devoted to an appreciation of fetishism, especially as it applies to the kinkier side of fashion, and is equally profusely peppered with "naughtier" pictures of fetish-queen Dita. If you're a serious fan of Dita, you very likely already have this book, so I'm preaching to the choir. :) If you're not yet a serious fan but are interested in burlesque revival or fashion fetishism, definitely do get this book!

Gorgeous book!!

Burlesque and ... is an absolutely lovely book. I love the fact that it is two books in one. Dita von Tesse has breathed new life into an art form that some thought dead. With her incredible sense of style, amazing costumes and love of fashion, the viewer is treated to the art of burlesque and history as well. The flip side is more of a fetish feast that is done in a very fashion forward way, which I loved. Lots of rubber etc. I love this book for it's unique approach and for not not being tacky or trashy. Dita presents the art of burlesque in a classy way that is simply, well, Dita. Highly recommended.

Not what I expected.

Okay, I know I'm going to get hauled out for this from many fans (b/c let's face it, mainly Dita fans bought this book), but I found this book to be a lot more impersonal than I wanted or expected. Now, that by itself shouldn't be a problem since sometimes there are pleasant suprises when things are not as you initially expected them to be. However, as a person who has followed Dita's career from the start, there wasn't any information here I didn't already know about both Burlesque and Dita. The photos were beautiful, but I already have great Dita photos. This is basically what the book was: photos of the author w/ the author discussing the history of burlesque.Period. When the author can go about putting photos of themselves in the book whilst the rest of the book is text that requires little involvement from the author(since the history of burlesque can pretty much be handed to another writer to complete the job instead), I don't think I'm getting what I expected or what I paid for. I know many will think, "So what, it's not what you expected, but it's beautiful and has a lot of info many people don't know. Besides, what you expect from the book doesn't concern the author anyway." Well, to that I say the photos are beautiful. The book is big. Anyone remotely interested in Burlesque knows the information put in this book, and I'm pretty sure others were expecting more from this book than the text delivered, but they just forgot after they saw the pretty photos. This is a photo book.

Beautiful and interesting

Beautiful photographs. Beautiful book design. Beautiful writing. Dita von Teese is the ultimate beauty and she has taken the time to tell her story and the story of these forms of entertainment and fashion in a clear, fun and interesting way! Dita brings her usual style, class and grace to the pages of this amazing hard cover book. A must have for photographers and fans of beauty alike.

Lovely photos, good history

I bought this book for the information on burlesque and it didn't disappoint. Lovely photos of Dita, good information on 20th century Burlesque and some tips thrown in for good measure. I would have liked a little more history on the stars of Burlesque but otherwise, this book is exactly as I hoped. Even the "fetish" side of the book is interesting, even if it isn't your cup of tea. Recommended.

Style, Class and Sass- who could ask for anything more?

Dita Von Teese is, without question, one of the most mesmerizing women I have ever seen. She encompasses rare beauty that is inexplicable and has style and grace that is comparible to the larger than life women that have held our attention decade after decade.... To hear many months ago that she would be penning her sem-autobiographical book (of sorts) left me panting with excitement. Upon arrival, I rushed to open it's beautiful contents, and was overwhelmed by the incredibly sexy and sophisticated shots of Dita in all of her glory. She takes the pinup style to the next level by including shots of herself in the most brilliant designer avantgarde fashion, Christian Louboutin stilettos and hand made corsets. Her fetish side include her in traditional Japanese Bondage and paying homage to Ms. Bettie Page. One of the coolest things that Dita did while putting this gem together was including her cheesecake burlesque side in one half of the book and her fetish dominant side in the other. All you must do to view both sides is simply flip the book to its backside. Would anyone expect something less from the Queen herself? Certainly not me. I really should own two copies of this phenominal book (just in case I wear the first one out).

High gloss and high class

I was on the waiting list for this book to arrive and after many months of anticipation, I was not only pleasantly surprised, I was agasp at how luxe this volume is. It doesn't dwell in historical narrative, nor does it showcase ego in her autobiography. It postively radiates elegance and mystery within the burlesque/fetish world. I love how Dita expresses herself sexually, without boundaries, yet cultured. One could pick this book up, open it at random and get engrossed immediately... most impressive.

A Bad Case of the DVT's

Dita von Teese's idea of feminism is for a woman to be as feminine as possible. Music to the ears of us lumbering dinosaurs who buy our wimmen clothes to match the decor in the kitchen, and pat them on the head if they haven't crashed the car. Though how this thinking sits with the dungaree-and-spiky-crop brigade, I will never know (Under-arm hair: should they, shouldn't they...oh the agony! Oh the controversy!). 'Burlesque' is a glossy A4 hardback containing hundreds of extremely stimulating photographs of this outrageously magnificent woman. Von Teese sits, stands, lies, crouches and does the splits in all kinds of ropes, chains, cables and ribbons; and of course, this is where the 'empowerment' comes in. Knowing thousands of men will be lasciviously looking at her every artistic curve and mega-defined muscle must be satisfying to DvT...but even more so to her publishers; neo-Emily Pankhursts to a middle-aged man. If DvT's concept of feminism - to wear a tin-foil cat-suit and look vulnerable - isn't pandering to the dissolute, then it's openly urging participation in the even older womanly craft: the expertise of wallet-emptying. It would be easy for cynicism to take a hold here, and the one-star button would be aching to be pressed IF Dita von Teese wasn't so glorious and lush. You'd need the will of Margaret Thatcher or at the very least, be a damn good liar not to admit and appreciate that she's some kind of ultimate of fiscal womanhood. 'Burlesque' simply celebrates that indubitable fact. She's pushing 40 as well; God only knows what she'll release to celebrate her menopause. 'DvT on HRT' perhaps? That's something to look forward to, eh lads....!?

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.

A Beautiful Spread

I did't buy this book on amazon, however I saw it sitting on the shelf during my visit in Maine at a local book store. What caught my attention was the Burlesque side of the book. Dita Von Teese is truly the modern day pin up girl. This book, reversible between burlesque and fetish, is informative on both topics, has a direct link to what it is like to live this life with page after page of colorful photographs of the lady herself. A great coffee table book and something to hold on to. I've had mine for 4 years and it is in fabulous condition.

love dita von teese

this book is NOT for people who are conservative about nudity and erotic things. it has nude and semi nude photos of dita. it describes the essentials for fetish and burlesque, it tells abit of the encounters that dita been through and it describes her life. DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED IF U LIKE BURLESQUE, FETISH, DITA, OR NUDITY.

Miss Von Teese is the best!!!

This woman really knows her business. If you are into corsets and want to learn more about Burlesque or bondage, this is the book for you. What I like about her is that she's honest and she tells you what to do and how to dress, how to wear your make up, etc. In this book you can also see how you don't have to be blonde, tall and blue eyed to be a glamour goddess, like she says, "all girls are beautiful" you just have to know what's best for you. Finally there is someone that can prove that beauty and good taste isn't just what you see on TV and fashion magazines.

Beauty and Art Entwine

Dita Von Teese not only proves her own beauty and good taste in this book, but she also displays her knowledge about burlesque and fetish fashion even back into the 1800s. She remains true to the art of the past. The printing in this book is extremely clear and vibrant and full of interesting facts and information as you scan through the many photographs provided. This book not only goes highly recommended to those that are Von Teese fans, but also to fans of true burlesque and fetish fashion.

Teese Me

I've admired Dita without really knowing much about her hence I bought this book. Its full of beautiful photography. If you love fetish or just pin-up then this book is for you. Its a elegant sophisticated coffee table book. Its a delightful peek into the world of burlesque and teese. Whether you do it or not, its an interesting read.

Stunning and beautiful

This book is absolutely beautiful. When I ordered it I had no idea what exactly I would be getting when it arrived; I'm pleased to say though that it was worth every penny. The book in itself is all very glossy and high quality paper, and even the text pages are decorative. I found this book to be over all very visually appealing as well as very interesting and informative as it peers into the history of the art as well as Dita's life and opinions. It's really a bit half and half, written like a documentary but also filled with very intimate and warm stories of this fantastic woman`s life.

A Glamourous Treat

A charming book! Whether you enjoy Dita as a model, performer, fashion maven, or fetish superstar, you'll love this. The pictures are gorgeous and beautifully printed. It's one thing to see them on the web, another to hold them in your hot little hands! The attention to detail she decribes in the text is the secret to her amazing success, but her beauty and talent are essential too. An icon and a true entrepreneur!

) Great price, was at one of her shows and ...

Its two books in one. :) Great price, was at one of her shows and the book was selling for $50. Spend $31.50 online with two day shipping.

Dita dazzles again!

As usual, the elegant and enchanting Dita Von Teese manages to dazzle the senses and delight the eyes. Not only is the book a burlesque fan's dream, with page after page of gorgeous Dita playing dress-up, but she also manages to fill it with nuggets of history and how-to. The fetish side is equally satisfying, and a must for any fan of S&M. The dichotomy of the book, one side she's a sweet, sex kitten and the other, a smoldering, spanking temptress, showcases Dita's dual nature. I LOVE THIS BOOK!

Beautiful book.

I have owned this book for a few years, and still look through it from time to time. Dita is timeless, elegant and offers insight into her world. I often look to this book for inspiration as I'm an aspiring photographer & designer. Great buy!

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 .

Take it off - the shelf!

Mrs. Dita has done it again. She has written a fabulous book. It's full of beautiful pictures, not too graphic, but tasteful and seductive. This is one of thoes books that you just like to pick up and flip through when you have a few moments to spare before dashing out. Inside the book are beauty tips, (Very helpful gals), and good advice on all things vintage from the Queen of Burlesque herself. Very fun and inforative book. Highly recommend to anyone who likes vintage movie glamor or bombshell burlesque beauty.

Five Stars

Love my Dita! Great photos and lots of fun reading material.

Lavish, Beautiful and Witty Like Dita

This book cannot disappoint: lots of stunning photos with tips and anecdotes about stripping, seduction, corsetry, fetish dressing, hair and makeup, and show business. This woman is fascinating. If you're an admirer you'd be nuts not buy it.

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.

Great book by the queen of new burlesque!

I have lots of burlesque books, but this one is such a great take on the historic facts of burlesque and gives some insight on why she is the top burlesque performer! Her knowledge and wit combined with the amazing photographs by the world's top photographers makes this an extraordinary book that fashionistas and burlesque fans alike will adore. This book is top quality, and a great price! Most books of this caliber run about three times the price! It's great to see all the fashion, pinup and fetish photos in one big colorful book.

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!

Great Job Dita!

As we all know Dita is an intellegent woman. But she really did her homework when it comes to burlesque. I learned facts in this book, I didn't even know about. I applaude the queen of burlesque, for her lovely photos. I also equally enjoyed her input on fetish. As a fellow Neo-Burlesque Preformer/ Feitsh Model/ Pin-up, I give Dita a pat on a the back. It's a nice adition to any coffee or cocktail table.

Impressive beautiful book!

I was shocked at just how BIG and fabulous this book is! The price is unbelievably low for such a finely made book! Full color photos on each and every page, gorgeous graphics and what a fun read! This is by far the most exciting photo book I have seen in a long time. It's a perfect gift for any pinup, burlesque, old movie buff or fashion fan. I love that it has two sides, it's two great books in one!

Fall in love....

Hints, history, and humor make Dita's book a very charming read. She also shares a bit of her life story, making for an all the more interesting experience. The photos are gorgeous; true art. I highly recommend this book for all fans of burlesque, fetish, and/or Dita Von Teese. If you aren't an admirer of Dita's already, you certainly will be after flipping thru this lovely and informative trove.

expected a little more bang for my buck

First off, let me say that the photography in this book was great, very professional, very 'Dita' with her beautiful self-applied style sense in homage to the pin-ups of old. Gorgeous stuff. I thought it was a nice little novelty having the two books in one, also, when she could quite easily have released two separate books to cash in a bit more - nice one Dita. The writing however, was slightly amateurish, pretty self-indulgent (although that can be forgiven since it's a book about Dita by Dita, so really, that's what you're in for), and very surface-skimming. I expected a bit more in that respect, but maybe I'd had a false impression that Dita was a bit deeper than she really is. I was also surprised and put off by her flippant endorsement of wearing real animal fur for pleasure. I mean, does anyone still REALLY think it's OK to kill an animal for vanity? Apart from that criticism, the writing style was of a cute, light read, much like a blog or celebrity magazine article. This is more just a really fun Dita souvenir than anything more, a little cheeky, but nothing you couldn't display on a bookshelf or leave out on the coffee table. It'd make a nice gift for a fan.

Great Book

This book was a gift to me from my husband and what a great gift it was! It was very cute with a very good history lesson on the history of burlesque. After I was finished reading it I went out and bought my first corsett! It doesn't talk alot about the history of Dita however and for that I am sorry. She is an amazing artist and I would have loved to have learned more about her. I would recommend this book for those interested in Dita or burlesque.

An Elegant Book...

An elegant book by an elegant icon of fetish and burlesque. In the world of pin-ups, this gentleman definitely prefers brunettes, and Dita is the cat's pajamas of her kind. I enjoyed both her writings and her very alluring pictures taken by some of this genre's slickest photographers. Just marvelous.

New Burlesque

This is a spectacular publication for anyone interested in this most intriguing woman and the re-emergence of burlesque. Glorious glossy photographs and pithy conversational text make this a compelling read, and an inspiration to anyone who has ever wanted to take charge and re-invent themself.

Worth the wait!

After waiting almost 2 years for this to arrive, i'm absolutely thrilled. This book is gorgeous, and will be a welcome addition to the book collection of any burlesque or pin-up fan. I'v been a fan of Dita for almost 10 years, and it's wonderful to see how far she's come. This book is full of beautiful photos, and the narrative is light and cheeky.

Cruella Von Teese

Pretty photos, but I have to agree with other reviewers who are disappointed that she wears fur, and even endorses the wearing of fur. There's so much chic faux fur out there, why make animals suffer terribly for that sort of Cruella de Ville vanity? I don't know why I thought she was more evolved, but she's not. Looked through someone else's copy to see if I wanted it in my extensive collection of burlesque books + dvd's. I don't.

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

Content: 3 stars, some awseome photos, but alot of 'filler' images. Layout: 2 stars, general book layout is not an excellant design and lacks an edge that would suit the subject matter and artist. Doesn't have a special or unique design layout, binding or printing that is asscoiated with hardcover editions. This is maybe the reason for the low price. Overall: 3 stars.

Perfect gift for a Dita fan!

I absolutely loved the photography in this book! Very tasteful and beautiful. I especially liked that it is two books in one. Great coffee table book and a perfect gift for any woman/man who appreciates real glamour.

At last!

I have been waiting for this book for three years, and it was worth it! The quality is very nice, with photos on every page, and the text is very informative and fun to read. An absolute must have for every Dita fan and every burlesque fan!

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

Very interesting, nise and creative book. Who likes Dita von Teese, must by her book

Pretty but troubling

Although I'm not a sexually driven person by any means, I love theatrical costumes, burlesque costumes included. If you are similarly inclined, this book may be for you. If you're seeking a history of burlesque or fetish art, you should probably look elsewhere--while there are some historical details strewn throughout the text, most of the narrative is autobiographical. Dita von Teese led an interesting life, by her account, so this aspect of the book is no detriment. Even more of the book consists of full-page photographs of von Teese in various costumes: some of them dazzlingly beautiful, some of them extremely revealing, and all of them eye-catching. Almost every page contains an image of von Teese looking glamorous. She never wears the same costume twice. Furthermore, each chapter devotes a page to tips for capturing the style of a female beauty archetype from a particular decade of the twentieth century: the vamp of the 1920s, the film siren of the 1930s, etc. By the way, these tips tend to assume that the reader's skin isn't dark--she who wishes to emulate a vamp authentically, for example, must have deathly pale skin--so one may need to either modify these lists or disregard them altogether. The aforementioned narrative section is what prevents me from assigning this book a higher rating, but not because of von Teese's autobiographical focus. Her choice to write about her personal past is not a problem. The author's sexual politics are what really detract from my enjoyment of the book. In the conclusion to the "Burlesque" half, she states that some people ask her whether her act incorporates any feminist elements. Her reply is that it does IF you define feminism as she does, which is to be as feminine as possible. In other words, the answer is no. Obviously, no one was expecting her to say yes. She's a burlesque performer. Burlesque is a fantasy release, and fantasies do not necessarily take the realities of life into account. They're make-believe. Why she won't simply be honest about her line of work and say, "There's nothing feminist about burlesque, but it's still a lot of fun," is baffling and frustrating. Similarly, the "Fetish" side is also problematic. I take no issue with von Teese's preference for playing the damsel in distress in her bondage scenarios; again, it's a classic fantasy. The sentence that raised my ire was this: "I think that if we could admit that everyone enjoys seeing a naked woman, the world would be a better place." Anyone old enough to be reading this book knows that this viewpoint is patently untrue. Then again, as evidenced by her reaction to LYSISTRATA at the beginning of the "Burlesque" section, Miss von Teese doesn't seem to want to admit that some men simply aren't attracted to women, just as a few of the photographs in the "Fetish" section point toward a trivialization of female homosexuality--as in, they use lesbian implications solely for heterosexual male arousal, a concept that von Teese apparently not only finds acceptable but expects readers to accept as well. On a related note, the gay men who do appreciate women's beauty usually like to see them *clothed*. For those of you who think I've been taking this book too seriously, I invite you to look at the list of von Teese's recommended books in the "Fetish" section. It contains, among other entries, the Marquis de Sade's JUSTINE and Anton LaVey's THE SATANIC WITCH. The former, far from being a "sane, safe, and consensual" adventure, happily details a woman being tortured nearly to death dozens of times, and the latter is a second-person anti-feminist manifesto that tells women that they should welcome men treating them as sex objects. If these are the books that von Teese deems worthy of recommendation, then she either hasn't read them or is deliberately sending unambiguous messages about what she considers her own--and, by extension, all women's--proper place in relation to men. In summary, if BURLESQUE AND THE ART OF THE TEESE/FETISH AND THE ART OF THE TEESE were simply an adults-only coffee table book with makeup and costuming tips and some autobiographical tidbits, I would give it a four-star rating. As it is, I find it too offensive to endow it with a full recommendation.

Dita Von Teese is a goddess, a must have for anybody who appreciates beautiful women in classy clothes.

Beautiful Woman Beautiful Book

I love this book! So many beautiful photos and great set-up. Very informative. If you love burlesque and fetish or you just love looking at Dita Von Teese you need to own this book!

FABULOUS!

I loved this book. With all the great photos, and the funny cheeky text, it's great for both reading and browsing. A good read and a lovely table book. I just loved it!!!

AS EXPECTED

The book was exactly what i expected and arrived in perfect condition. Very happy with total service.

Burlesque and the Art of the Teese

'Burlesque and the Art of the Teese / Fetish and the Art of the Teese' is a stunning look at the history of both Burlesque and Fetish from the point of view of one of the most famous models and Burlesque dancers of today, Dita Von Teese. It has stunning imagery and is well presented, without being lascivious or in poor taste. This book is class all the way. The various sections focusing on the history of both arts are fascinating, with information you would never have considered and you can tell Dita is both knowledgeable and passionate about her art. If you're a fan of Dita or just interested in Burlesque or Fetish then this is an excellent place to go, and though slightly unorthodox, this would make a wonderful coffee table book. Feel free to check out my blog which can be found on my profile page.

Gorgeous photography!

Bought as a gift but I have to admit to borrowing it a couple of times! Wonderful book with some stunning photography. Quirky to have the two halves of the book upside down to each other so you can open on the burlesque side or the fetish side depending on how the mood takes you!

inaccurate description of the condition

I'm happy with the product accurate description of the book. However, i am not happy with the condition. It was described as a "collectable" to me this means that in tit in excellent condition the book I have received is not. Firstly the outed cover (as shown in the picture, the pink and green one) is missing. the hard back itself has some nicks and scratches. The spine of the book is barely hanging on and some of the pages are sticky with some possible water damage. I am mostly upset because I was deceived the condition of the product does not match its description.

Ditalicious

Amazing pictures! I've recently gotten into burlesque after going to my first burlesque show. Everything about it appeals to me from the cheekiness to the music to the clothing (before it's taken off!). Dita is the modern queen of burlesque with some fantastic pictures in a book which just oozes glamour. Dita provides some of her backstory along with tales of burlesque which will inform novices like me and keep them enthralled. It's one monster of a book and worth every penny. (Oh, did i mention how amazing the pictures were enough times?)

A must to have

Excellent

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.

Interesting for everyone

Very beautiful and interesting, if just for the history of burlesque. It's like two books in one, because the back show fetishes. Lovely pictures. Very interesting tips too.

The Art of Teese

Bought for son for his UNI art course Beautiful creative work & lady!!

Fabulous

Really nice illustrations and fun to have

Fab book

I bought this book for myself as I am a fan of Dita von Teese. It is a beautifully produced book with great photographs. Dita von Teese gives us lots of information about burlesque. Would recommend.

great gift for a girlfriend

Really lovely pictures and interesting insight into the lady herself. A little raunchy but very suitable as a coffee table book (I bought it as a gift, I probably would have bought something a little more risque personally)

book received

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 .

Simply beautiful. I'm a girl and I love looking at Dita's pictures. She is just stunning - she's got a real womanly body. Much nicer than the stick-thin model types you see all over fashion mags.

Great book!

Excellent speedy delivery. I love Dita von Teese and the whole beauty and art of burlesque. Great book with lots of lovely clear photographs. Any Dita fan would love this book!

It’s Dita. Nothing more to say.

Love this book.

I love the content,but the book is so old and dirty!

There were stains on the book covers and many pages, and I was furious

Dita is da bomb

Some really beautiful pictures of the lady herself, half the book is very colourful focusing on the bright fascinating burlesque side, & they other fetish. Worth the money if you are a big Dita fan like me.

Got it within 2 days of ordering- expected it to take about a week. Excellent quality and it's bigger than I thought it would be! :) Bargain too

Burlesque Secrets

A simply stunning book, visually a portfolio of some of the best photographs ever taken of one of my all-time favorite models, erotic dance and renowned beauty, Dita Von Teese. Dita does not disappoint, any fact, relevant to the history of burlesque is included here. It is interesting, fascinating and stimulating reading, in fact I could not put this book down. It is also a 'tour de force' showing Dita's deep love of her subject and her research into it, this is no light weight essay on striptease but a fun and enjoyable read on female and male fantasy. The other half of the book devoted to Fetishism has a detailed analysis of such fetishes as stockings, shoes, feet, rubber and leather. I can't recommend this book highly enough.

just as advertised

Fabulous!

For starters, this book really is a bargain price: Dita could easily have priced this at £30 or £40. It's a substantial, heavy hardback, full of quality glossy pages. The book is split into two sections- the front is Burlesque and the Art of the Teese, but flip the book over and the book is called Fetish and the Art of the Teese. Each section equates to pretty much half of the book, so there is no preference shown for one or the other. Inside, most of the full page photos are accompanied by a page of text, so it's not just a book of photos, there is also a lot about Dita herself. She reveals her style inspirations, favourite designers, how she styles herself, the history of Burlesque, her favourite dancers, her tips & techniques and some autobiographical detail. All of the photos are very artistic and there is some nudity. If you are interested in fetish, burlesque, erotica, photography, dance or just Dita herself, then I really recommend this book because I don't think you will be disappointed by the sheer scope and depth of this jam-packed book.

Beginning in Burlesque

This book has fabulous pictures and does contain a bit of information about Dita Von Teese in both realms (back and front book) but I found it lacking information about how you yourself and become a Burlesque dancer ect. ect. This book is more about her and her life in these fields rather than a guide, which her second book 'Your Beauty Mark' is all about. Even though it's not a guide, I'm glad I have a copy anyway.

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

The book is loveyl but the copy I received did have some faint lining down a few of the pages. The printer rollers perhaps?. Also one page had a little print missing which is why I am giving it four. No I'm not going to return it I have grown attached to it! I think it was a great price for a book that has a cover price of £[...]. As for the pictures they are beautifully done & Dita's writing are a joy to read. For me the book is hard to put down but I am a huge fan of burlesque.

Calidad inmejorable

El libro es precioso. Me lo esperaba más pequeño y ha sido una sorpresa que fuera más amplio. Todas las imágenes a color, el papel, la portada.... Todo hace que valga hasta el último euro. Encantada con la compra. Es cierto que ha tardado vida y media en llegar, lo pedí el día 13 de marzo y ha llegado el 1 de abril, pero entiendo que la situación ahora mismo es complicada y comprendo el retraso.

belle foto

un libro sostanzialmente fotografico per appasionati di questo personaggio veramente interessante. le foto sono ben stampate e non sono le solite che si trovano su internet. libro diviso in due: una parte più soft legata al burlesque e un'altra dedicata al fetish. non si scade mai nel volgare, come nello stile di Dita.

Bad Case of the Dvt's

Dita von Teese's idea of feminism is for a woman to be as feminine as possible. Music to the ears of us lumbering dinosaurs who buy our wimmen clothes to match the decor in the kitchen, and pat them on the head if they haven't crashed the car. Though how this thinking sits with the dungaree-and-spiky-crop brigade I will never know (under-arm hair: should they, shouldn't they...oh the agony! Oh the controversy!). 'Burlesque' is a glossy A4 hardback containing hundreds of extremely stimulating photographs of this outrageously magnificent woman. Von Teese sits, stands, lies, crouches and does the splits in all kinds of ropes, chains, cables and ribbons; and of course, this is where the 'empowerment' comes in. Knowing thousands of men will be lasciviously looking at her every artistic curve and mega-defined muscle must be satisfying to Dita...but even more so to her publishers - neo-Emily Pankhursts to a middle-aged man. If Dita's concept of feminism - to wear a tin-foil cat-suit and look vulnerable - isn't pandering to the dissolute, then it is therefore urging them to participate in the even older womanly craft: the expertise of wallet-emptying. It would be easy for cynicism to take a hold here, and the one-star button would be aching to be pressed IF Dita von Teese wasn't so glorious and lush. You'd need the will of Margaret Thatcher or at the very least, be a damn good liar not to admit and appreciate that she's some kind of ultimate of fiscal womanhood. 'Burlesque' simply celebrates that indubitable fact. She's pushing 40 as well; God only knows what she'll release to celebrate her menopause. 'DvT on HRT' perhaps? That's something to look forward to, eh lads....!?

Puro glamour

Para los fans de Dita von teese es un imprescindible, grandes imagenes de esta diva del burlesque

Pretty

The book has 2 starting points. From the one side you got more fetish and from the other, you get the 'normal' burlesque. Nice idea as I think and pretty pictures. Strong hardcover.

Picante e inspirador

Ótima compra. Ele tem uma parte de fotos eróticas com ela amarrada e tal. As fotos são incríveis e da vontade de ir na mesma hora assistir o show. Mais um livro que merece elogios da Taschen.

I adore Dita and this book

This is book is fun. I'm thoroughly enjoying reading it and the photos are marvelous. I like how the book is almost two separate books-Burlesque on the one side, Fetish on the other. She is a classy beautiful lady with a unique perspective. I think this is a book both women and men can enjoy

I would buy this book again

I enjoyed this book, the photography in them was amazing!

Tolle Bilder einer tollen Frau

Ich finde Dita von Teese sehr interessant. Sie hat sich selbst zu einer Art Kunstprodukt gemacht und lebt das auch in einer derartigen Konsequenz, dass es einfach nur bewundernswert ist. Was in ihrem Buch geschrieben steht, ist nicht wirklich neu und mit ein paar Klicks im Internet auch zu lesen, aber die Bilder sind einfach nur schön. Alles in Allem ist es ein sehr hochwertiges, aber vielleicht ein bisschen zu hochpreisiges Buch.

Good History

Good history. Great Gift.

A sumptuous book for the femme fatale in all of us... 😘

Dita von Teese is pure, sexy, unadulterated glamour - I love her style and the fact that curvaceous is a plus, not a minus, in the world of burlesque.

Schönes Coffee-Table-Book einer Ikone

Ich bin schon seit längerem ein großer Fan von Dita und bin fasziniert von ihr. Das Buch zeigt einerseits sehr schöne und vielseitige Fotos von ihr, aber auch interessante Einblicke in ihre Vergangenheit und Leben. Ich werde das Buch sicherlich noch oft in die Hand nehmen und darin blättern

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.

als fan von dita ein must have-buch. nachdem es mir leider nicht wieder gegeben wurde habe ich es jetzt endlich wieder <3

Classico intramontabile

L'incantevole facino di Dita Von Teese tra piume e lustrini è un'ottima guida di seduzione. Non può mancare nella biblioteca di una perforare di burlesque. Un classico intramontabile.

Arrived on time - Item matched description 👌

I love it

Wonderful Book! Truly beautiful photographs and Dita inspires the burlesque lifestyle.

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.

Meraviglioso!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tempi velocissimi e libro meraviglioso! Senza parole, condizioni buone, non ottimissime ma se ti interessa solo il libro l'importante è che non cada a pezzi! Ottimo affare!

Be a living work of art

Wie im Titel schon beschrieben, bei Dita trifft das zu. Viele Fetish Spielereien in schönen, ästhetischen photoraphierten Posen und guter Bildqualität. Kein reiner Bildband.

very good book

Good book and boobs

La grande Dita

un bellissimo libro visto da Dita che racconta il suo burlesque con accessori musiche, bella anche il retro facciata del libro dove tratta il suo fetisch style

Beau livre sur Dita

Très joli livre sur Dita Von Teese. J'adore mais je ne sais pas très objective car je suis aussi une fan de Dita...

Four Stars

A wonderful read!!!

Diva like Dita!

Great pictures so much colors and ideas for costumes... there is all the glamour you can expect. Big and larges pictures with text to guide you.

Klasse Fotos, interessanter zu lesen als ich dachte. Dita ist eine Perfektionistin und eine sehr gute "Entertainerin"! Nicht nur auf der Bühne...

Five Stars

I love this book so much. I'll keep this book forever

Wonderful, funny, insightful and beautiful

I think this book is lovely. I am really into both burlesque and fetish and its great to read Dita's words on how she feels about both as the pretty much mirror my own thoughts. Beautiful photography, very well written, witty, interesting, insightful, with some great tips! Long live glamorous women.

Five Stars

I like it

Great Christmas present

I surprised my friend by giving this book to him for Christmas. He loved it. I was very happy it arrived in time too.

ディータ・ヴォン・ティーズの表現力に脱帽です

表紙と裏表紙は、ショーで見せるタイプの華やかな フェティッシュ系とSMを基調としたディータになって ますが、本を開くともっと色んなディータに会えます。 彼女のボディラインと肌の美しさは勿論堪能できますが、 彼女の顔のメイクも普段ショウでみるメイクと違うものが あり、一人の女性がこんなにも色んな表現ができるのか! と感動してしまいます。ヘアスタイルも様々。 3000円ほどでこの大きさとハードカバーでディータ からのプチコメント付きなら十分安いと思います。 コメントは英語ですが、高卒レベルの知識と辞書があれば読めます。 ※同じ女性で彼女に惹かれてるならとても良い本です

素敵な本

素晴らしく美しい、素敵な写真ばかりです。分厚い表紙でしっかりとした製本で、重みがあります。 商品評価には関係ないのですが、 悲しかったのは、せっかくの新品なのに表紙のかどが潰れていたこと。 箱もべこべこで、アマゾンさんのしっかり梱包を負かすくらいに雑に扱われたようです。書籍自体が重かったのもあるでしょう。 十中八九ヤ◯トさんの扱いが悪かったのだろうとは思いますが。 余計なことではあるんですけど、やりきれないので書いておきます。

Superbe

Mon commentaire ne sera pas objectif, étant fan de Dita Von Teese. J'avoue même ne pas avoir lu les textes, le but étant plutôt d'avoir ses photos sur papier.

美麗

すごいボリュームで豪華です!ディタ好きなら絶対に持っておきたいものですね。

ファン必携 

なかなかのボリュームだが、期待したほどではなかった。 やっぱりディタの凄さは繊細な動きや表情の変化にあるのだな、と思った。 動画ほどの魅力は感じなかった。 神聖さ、気品といった、他とは一線を画する彼女の特性が、スチールではあまり出ていない。 カメラマンの問題だろうか。 普通のセクシー美女にしか見えないのだ。 それでもこの値段なら、ファンは持っていて損はない。

女性の体の美

とても美しいDita。 どの写真も素晴らしいです。 NYの本屋で探して現物が店頭になく、結局、帰国してアマゾンで買いました。 大変重い本なので、スーツケースに入れて帰るのも大変だったかもしれません。

Ditaのすべて!

とにかく素晴らしいの一言;) Ditaの図鑑のようなものです<3

フェティッシュのページがおすすめ。

ディタには、アート性の高い衣装、構図、高級感を踏まえた色々が似つかわしいと思うので、それらがきちんと含まれた写真集でとても嬉しかったです。 BURLESQUEのページはもちろん完璧な華やかさです。 しかし、着目していただきたいのはフェティッシュのページ。 品と高級感を失わずにボンテージやレザーの衣装を纏えるのはディタならでは。本領発揮です。 60ページのゴルチェの衣装も、ディタにしか似合わないでしょう。 FETISH GODDES(写真集)のディタがあんまりにも俗っぽく、がっかりだったので、できるならこちらの11ページのディタの雰囲気のまま、緊縛や金属製の衣装、ラバーを扱った写真集をだしてほしいです。

美しさの通過点

ディータファンには心底たまらない、愛しい本だと思います。 この日をどれだけ待ちわびたか…!! 見たことが無い写真もちらほら。 このクオリティ・厚みでこのお値段は安すぎます。 ぜひとも手に入れて頂きたい一品です。

ポルノぽい

カメラマンも、スタイリストも、ディタをもっと大切にしてほしかった。本が9年前のことではあるけど、アート、フェティッシュというよりポルノ寄り。手放すには惜しい写真も数枚あったけど、、

まさに

ディータワールド全開!ハードカバーの中には二つの顔が存在してます。中身も濃く、読み応えあり。耽美を愛する人は好きなハズ。

女性美の追求

ディータ・フォン・ティースは、米国のストリップ・ティーズのダンサーですが、今や世界中に活動の場を広げています。モデル業も素晴らしく、米国のプレイボーイ誌にも何度も登場しています。彼女の素晴らしさは、絶えず女性として美しくなる事に努力している事です。コルセットを着ると40cmになるウェストは、その努力の証拠だと思います。最近は社会福祉活動にも積極的に参加しているディータ。とにかく本を購入して彼女の成熟した女性の美しさを心より堪能して下さい。とにかくディータは美しい女性です。

きれい。

状態も梱包も良かったです。中もきれいで汚れもなく、それぞれのページを楽しめました。

そうかな

まず、この本はヌード写真集ではない。 確かにいい女ではある。しかしいかんせん、トウがたっている。 内臓を締め付けてウエストを細くしても意味はない。逆に変なだけだ。 いい写真もあるにはあるが わたしは、磨きぬかれた裸身が見たいだけなんだ。
