Burlesque & the Art of the Teese is a hardcover, 272-page celebration by Dita Von Teese that reinvents the world of pin-ups, stripteases, and bondage fetishes in a beautifully designed, four-color revival of classic American sexuality.

As the Queen of the New Burlesque, Dita has led the burlesque aesthetic of the ’40s and ’50s back into the sexual consciousness, following in the tradition of legends like Betty Page and Gypsy Rose Lee and captivating thousands of devoted fans.
