"Excellent erotica with a novel twist (or flick)"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Stripteese (featuring the lovely Dita Von Teese), is a wonderfully presented set of 3 books which present in a cute “flip book” fashion 3 seperate shoots: the Martini Glass, the Bird of Paradise and a more ‘Classic’ photoshoot.

While some may say this book lacks variety (only the 3 aforementioned shoots); the 3 shoots are different enough to give a good idea as to the range of burlesque performances Dita von Teese can give. each of these flipbooks is made up for many individual photos, and while the best way to enjoy it may be to slip through them to get the motion of the performaces happening; each photo is worthy of attention in and of itself.

The presentation of this book is stunning. The whole package comes in the wonderful hardcover case with ribbon ties (seen in the photo) and each of the 3 flipbooks fitting snugly inside a placeholder within the case.

The “animation” of the flipbooks themselves is excellent; the photos combine to show off the grace and sauciness of an exceptional burlesque performer, the only downside is in one book where the flipbook is best viewed vertically making the flipping “animation” a bit less fluid; but still quite enjoyable.

an excellent book for for fans of erotica, photography, burlesque, Dita von Teese or anyone who can appreciate an exceptionally well put together package. A+

"Perfect gift for a burlesque fan!!"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

The item description didn't say too much to me about what the item itself was. However the flip books are cute and lots of fun to play with. The images are professional and of a high quality. Definately tops the list for a burlesque or Dita fan!

I've always been a fan of Dita Von Teese, and this book was such an insight to her Burlesque dancing. It's tasteful and insightful, and the pictures are stunning.It leaves much to the imagination! Definately worth buying for all the Dita fans out there!

Description

Famed photographer Sheryl Nields brings burlesque superstar Dita Von Teese to life in a series of flip books that capture the dancer's most intimate performances. A perfect collectible book for fans of Dita, classic burlesque devotees, or for anyone who loves a playful and beautifully packaged book, "Dita: Striptease" is an exquisite visual tribute to this one-of-a-kind performer, featuring three of her most beloved dances. Martini Glass Show - Performed all over the world, the martini glass show is Dita's most famous burlesque act. Featuring her in her 'Diamonds in the Buff' costume, Dita performs a traditional striptease that culminates with her bathing herself in an oversize martini glass, complete with olive sponge. Bird of Paradise Show - Inside a posh gilded Victorian birdcage, burlesque's brightest star reinvents the classic feather fan dance with two lush oversize feather fans of exotic, rare magenta pheasant feathers. In an extraordinary costume of beautifully curved feathers, Dita spins around on her golden perch, and treats audiences to an unforgettable wet and wild finale as sparkling water showers over her body. Classic Striptease - This striptease features Dita dressed in a vintage suit complete with a veiled hat, seamed stockings, and sky-high stilettos. Audiences get a glimpse into Dita's personal wardrobe - and what she reveals underneath it!
