Product Description
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.

As I implied in my title above, Dita von Teese is often compared to 1950's pin-up icon Bettie Page - except that, as author/lensman Peter Czernich says in his introduction, "Dita is better than Bettie ever was". For those who are familiar with Dita's own book _Burlesque/Fetish and the Art of the Teese_, _Vintage Dita_ is a compilation of the photographs that Mr. Czernich took of Dita during the 1990's for the fetish-fashion magazine _Marquis_ (which he edits), in the days - as Czernich calls them, "The Early Fetish Years" - before she became a pop-culture icon, when her fame was still mostly confined to the alternate-lifestyle set.
The book (at 128 pages, somewhat more slender than I'd personally have wanted) presents a mixture of color and B&W pages of Dita, many in full color and all of uniformly excellent technical quality. In keeping with the overall theme of the book, Dita wears all sorts of erotic things - corsets, opera gloves, extreme high heels, full-fashioned stockings, thigh-height boots, rubber, PVC, leather and the like. Highly recommended, of course, for the serious Dita fan who wants more after Dita's own book, and for fans of high-class modern erotic photography in general.
