From burlesque show to fashion runway, magazine cover to Internet video, fashion icon and "burlesque superheroine" (Vanity Fair) Dita Von Teese has undergone more strokes of red lipstick, bursts of hair spray, boxes of blue-black hair dye and pats of powder in a month than a drag queen could dream of in a lifetime. Whether she's dazzling audiences swirling in a towering martini glass in Swarovski-covered pasties and stilettos or sparking camera flashes on the red carpet, one reality is constant: for this self-styled star, beauty is an art. Now, for the first time in her Technicolor career, Dita divulges the beauty wisdom that keeps her on international best-dressed lists and high-profile fashion show rosters in this illustration and photography-filled opus.

- bioText:
Dita Von Teese is the brightest star in burlesque since Gypsy Rose Lee. As style icon and muse to artists, designers, and photographers, she has appeared on magazine covers and runways for Jean Paul Gaultier, Moschino, and Giambattista Valli, and is the performer of choice for Marc Jacobs, Christian Louboutin, and Louis Vuitton. Her DIY beauty ethos and entrepreneurial ventures—designing award-winning perfumes, lingerie, gloves, and clothes, and as directing producer on her touring stage extravaganzas—have established her as a role model to women. Her books include the bestseller Burlesque and the Art of the Teese/Fetish and the Art of the Teese and Dita: Stripteese. Dita and her feline, Aleister, live under the gaze of the star-viewing Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles.

February 1, 2016
Von Teese's (Burlesque and the Art of the Teese) third book combines stunning imagery with an abundance of information about vintage or "old Hollywood" glamour, the author's life, and the lives of other "eccentrics." Readers follow Von Teese from Midwestern blond to raven-haired, international entertainer, designer, entrepreneur, and icon. We see her with a bare face and then fully made up, as she shares her personal health and beauty disciplines, including time-tested, universal advice: exercise regularly; eat a healthy, balanced diet; get enough sleep. There's a sincerity to Von Teese's artifice that makes the book both enchanting and relatable; behind the exquisitely styled photographs is a woman who does her own hair and makeup. Throughout, readers are encouraged to make informed decisions that lead them to their most beautiful selves, inside and out. VERDICT Not all readers will want to adopt Von Teese's signature aesthetic, but her inspiring confidence translates to every style.--Meagan Storey, Virginia Beach
