Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)It's funny if you are a big enough fan/collector of things, chances are there is some duplication lurking in your collection you weren't aware of. That's the case to a lesser extent here. This Hardcover collection is essentially a photo-album of classic Dita shoots from back in the day. Great color, nice front & back cover shots, nice variety, still about 10 shots or so appeared in Fetish Goddess Dita from the same author in 2002.As well the dust jacket & interior remark about Dita cannot be compared to Bettie Page, then he goes ahead & makes a comparrison, you be the judge on that one. All in all a worthwhile collection of pics to own when the Dita we knew, first burst on the scene. No way 5 stars, one page of English text (nothing but a couple of one line quotes from Dita ( remembered by the author)that stand out. Light on words, heavy on the visual but the shots of Dita are great, 4 stars based on viewing it as a newcomer would his/her first Dita experience, because Dita is fantastic & I am in a good mood.

Vogue magazine named her the queen of the burlesque revival, and Vanity Fair calls her a burlesque superheroine. She's integral to the underground fetish scene, yet she's front and center at every buzzed-about fashion show. Today's Bettie Page has transcended such cultural barriers with her astonishing grace, class, and artistry. This timeless vintage portfolio shows Dita von Teese when her rise to celebrity status was just a heartbeat away. Revealing a side to Dita that is well-known to the public, this book explores her fetish for corsets (she has more than 100 tailor-made ones) and her fetish for shoes (“I never leave home without my high heels on”), as well as other fetishes such as bondage and latex. The stunning front cover image of the 25th issue of Marquis magazine is included, featuring Dita painted from top to toe in silver. These stylish, sultry images are a fitting tribute to the early modeling days of a truly smart and sexy icon.
