Dita Von Teese is indisputably the queen of modern burlesque. Her stunning costumes, elegant dances and vintage glamor are the stuff that makes up legend and fantasy. Stripteese gives you a unique introduction to her world in the form of three different flip books. Once a popular medium, flip books have gone the way of the seamed stocking - rarely seen but cherished in the corner of culture's mind. Leave it to Dita to bring back this form in her own beautiful way.

These three books are nestled together in a cardboard enclosure and tied shut with a pretty pink ribbon. The first book is the Martini Glass - Dita's most famous show. The second book is the Bird of Paradise - a gorgeous look at Dita in a gilded cage, twirling and dancing her way to the camera. The last book is the Classic Striptease with those seamed stockings and signature corset. Each book flips from front to back and then back to front and each photograph is exquisitely detailed and vivid, you will find yourself not only flipping through as you are intended to, but looking at each photograph individually to try to soak in all of the details of each image - from the lush feathers in Bird of Paradise to the jeweled diamond costume in the Martini Glass show.

Any fan of Dita will no doubt already own this treasure, but those curious about burlesque would be well advised to buy this set - it is well produced, great quality and simply beautiful.

The presentation and packaging are the best part about this. Don't expect a lot of photographs like her previous book: the actual flipbooks are tiny and look like video stills. It's a very cute idea, but nothing that you will really look at more than once or twice.

This book is beautiful! The packaging is so lovely and the pictures are even lovelier. We live in age when things are not so authentic or interesting. While looking through these three mini flip books one is nostalgic for the days when, burlesque ruled and people really took the time to get dressed up and look amazing! Dita von Tesse is a fascinating woman and fashion icon who is bringing back an art form. Gorgeous book! Recommended.

If you, like me, are a lover of burlesque and/or erotica, I think you'll truly enjoy this lovely product. It's elegant and tasteful but the risqué factor is still present. The three flip-books, featuring Dita performing some of her best known burlesque routines, among them the martini glass and gilded cage, is a wonderful and unique way to become familiar with her particular take on the art of the striptease. I love it and everyone I have shown it to have made nothing but positive comments. My sole and very minor complaint would be that I could wish the books were a little bigger, as they're rather on the small side. Other than that, there's little to gripe about.

This little boxed set is absolutely gorgeous.
It simply consists of three little flip-books, and is truly delightful.

This is not a book about burlesque (or even about Dita), it is more of a treat - something fun and pretty to enjoy.
I was lucky enough to have mine autographed by miss Von Teese, and it's a treasure that i'm proud to have in my collection.

i bought this as a gift, but i may have to keep it- so cool.
