I recently had the opportunity to read Dita Von Teese's double volume, Burlesque and the Art of the Teese/Fetish and the Art of the Teese by BRONWYN GARRITY, Dita Von Teese (2006). The photography is wonderful. I found her writing style to be less than professional, but her candor and honest approach shines, countering any shortcomings of literary skill. I was surprised that the publication was not specifically targeted for the men's erotica market, but is written to a large degree for woman who aspire to achieve a higher level of sexuality through the art of glamour. The book contains a fascinating history of burlesque, sexual fetish, makeup tips, clothing and a compilation of the past's most treasured beauty secrets. The world is full of beautiful women, but what makes Dita amd her book so interesting is that she has in fact achieved true glam; something that, as a man, I find very appealing. I strongly recommend the book to anyone of either gender who has a sincere interest in feminine beauty.Read full review
Book has great pictures of Dita sexy and then a second half of Dita in fetish type outfits. Nice value for the money. Big format book.

Just finished reading Dita Von Teese's new book "Art of the Teese" which is a flip book with one half devoted to Fetish and the other to Burlesque. I think this is a must have for all you modern day Betty's out there who wish to emulate her style. Ms. Teese offers many vintage beauty secrets of her own and from the 20's, 30's, 40's and 50's. The book has a bit of autobiography as well as history. It is definitely more focused towards women but shares some beautiful pictorials for us men. I can truely appreciate and bask in the beauty of a woman like Dita who in return can honor my fetishes.
The beautiful sexy and incredibly knowledgeable Dita Von Teese fills her book with humor, insight, history and most important tons of pictures. I loved everything about this book. Got a second copy so I could tear out the many fabulously sexy photos and hang them on my walls. I met Dita in person once at a Glamourcon- she's a tiny little thing. And she was the nice most geniune person at the conceference. Not only a performer but a student, teacher,enthusiastic fan of burlesque and fetish ten stars **********
I bought this book solely for the pictures. They are absolutely gorgeous. The writing contains some history on both burlesque and fetish and is interesting at parts, but I found her style rather pretentious and the information poorly organized. No matter! I did not buy the book for her writing, and so there is no dissapointment there. If you love Dita, then you will love this book.
