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

This is a beautiful book. I'm a huge Dita von Teese fan and was given this as a gift. The photography is full of old-school glamour, very classy and not too risque. The book is split into 'Burlesque' and 'Fetish' and of the two I have to say that the Burlesque pictures are my favourites.

I'd recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of burlesque but I'd also highly recommend it as a gorgeous gift for anyone who is a fan of vintage glamour and cheeky style.

As a fan of the delightful Ms. Teese (Heather Renee Sweet!) and of the art of burlesque, I bought this book with the hope that it would offer a colourful insight into the world of Burlesque dancing. The book talks not only about Dita's idols, hopes and dreams whilst growing up and her rise to stardom, but it also discusses the history of burlesque- which is an absolutely charming addition to the book. The photos are beautiful (as one would expect from such a stunning lady!) and her hints and tips are delightfully helpful to aspiring burlesquers.

Flip the book over, and you will find the Fetish section of the book- which is honest of her to include, as she started her career as a Fetish model. She talks about fetish at length- once again detailed with stunning photographs.

This book has been completed with style, elegance, honesty, and humour- a must have for a fan of this lovely lady, and for those interested in the art of the tease.....5 stars out of 5 without a doubt.

This book is divided into 2 sections, Burlesque and Fetish. The Burlesque section is packed full of gorgeous glossy photos of the wonderful Dita von Teese mixed with her own personal thoughts and facts about the history of Burlesque. The Fetish section is full of some more risque shots with some background info about the whole scene. If you love Dita's work then this fascinating book is a must buy, it's absolutely brilliant!

I bought this book having seen pictures of Von Teese on her website and from work by her former husband, a certain Mr. Marylin Manson. This book is like a kindergarden work full of average pictures shot in a non erotic way and filled with lots of pointless and badly written pieces regarding fetishes and costumes. Definitely not worth 30 Euro.
