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

Today's resurgence of the art of burlesque has crowned a queen: Dita Von Teese. Following in the tradition of legends like Bettie Page and Gypsy Rose Lee, Dita has led the burlesque asthetic of the '40s and '50s back into the sexual consciousness of the American public, and her thousands of cultish fans.

In addition to her expertise as a classically styled burlesque performer, Dita is steeped in the history of fetish in American sexual culture. This book will combine her passion for burlesque and fetish in a lush four-color revival of 40s sexual glamour. Featuring Dita's Dos and Don'ts, The Art of the Tease provides Dita's provocative tips on everything from corsets to lipstick to black-seamed silk stockings--information that no woman should be without. Full of sexy, kinky, and playfully erotic photos of a provocatively clad Dita, this book will turn readers onto burlesque and fetish in new and titillating ways.
