On one side, Dita Von Teese shares the beauty of the burlesque world,
with bubblegum dreams and show tunes to strip to. Flip over for
fantasies in fetish with dramatic costumes and the allure of submission. I advocate glamour. Every day. Every minute.
I'm a good dancer and a nice girl, but I'm a great showgirl. I
sell, in a word, magic. Burlesque is a world of illusion and dreams and
of course, the striptease. Whether I am bathing in my martini glass,
riding my sparkling carousel horse, or emerging from my giant gold
powder compact, I live out my most glamorous fantasies by bringing
nostalgic imagery to life.
Let me show you my world of gorgeous
pin-ups, tantalizing stripteases, and femmes fatales. I'll give you a
glimpse into my life, but a lady never reveals all.
You
may have come for the fetish. Or you may just be sneaking a peek at
this mysterious and peculiar other side. No matter what you've come
for, there is something for you to indulge in.
My world of
fetish may not be the one that you would expect. As a burlesque
performer, I entice my audience, bringing their minds closer and closer
to sex and then -- as good temptress must -- snatching it away. As a
fetish star, I apply the same techniques. . . .
An opera-length
kid leather glove, a strict wasp waist, an impossibly high patent
leather heel, a severely painted red lip. . . . Come with me into my
world of decadent fetishism.

In relation to nudes, I work with amateur models. They pose for me because they love art and they do it with passion in each photography session, facing draw backs, long delays, hours travelling, cold or heat at times or just long walks some other times. They are the other part of this at of mine, since they give passion and effort in each photograph.

BDSM is a complex acronym derived from the terms bondage and discipline (B&D, B/D, or BD), dominance and submission (D&S, D/S, or DS), sadism and masochism (S&M, S/M, or SM). BDSM includes a wide spectrum of activities and forms of interpersonal relationships. While not always overtly sexual in nature, the activities and relationships within a BDSM context are almost always eroticized by the participants in some fashion. Many of these practices fall outside of commonly held social norms regarding sexuality and human relationships.
- Seductress: Women Who Ravished the World and Their Lost Art of Love...
Prioleau's captivating debut is a fervid self-help tract well-disguised
as a history. "Seductresses are in fact the liberated women incarnate,"
asserts the author in her opening chapter. "They're the stealth
heroines of history. The first feminists." It's a persuasive argument,
which Prioleau pounds home with massive fists full of quotations,
attributions and texts from anthropology, religion, psychology,
history, art, literature, music and anything else she can get her
hyperintellectual hands on. Modern women have lost their
goddess-centered groove, the Manhattan College professor asserts, and
as a consequence the entire race is going to hell in a male-dominated,
bimbo-focused handbasket.
- Erotic Comics: A Graphic History from Tijuana Bibles to Underground Comix...
This international survey of erotic comics chronicles a groundbreaking
form of sexual expression up to 1970, the years when mainstream culture
spurned explicit eroticism. In the 1930s, American “Tijuana Bibles,”
little pornographic comic books that parodied popular comics and comic
strips, were widely available. World War II gave a boost to erotic
comics, especially illustrated pin-ups. This set the stage for men’s
magazines such as Playboy, which included racy cartoons from the beginning, and fetish comics.
- F Is for Fetish (Erotic Alphabet) ...
"I began to lust for each fetish soon after opening Alison Tyler's recent book F is for Fetish.
A bike mechanic's smudged, strong hands, golden showers from a goddess
in a clawfoot bathtub, and decadently soiled maribou slippers -- each
of these quickly drew me in. Each story in this collection features a
distinct moment where the plot falls away and the story is devoted to
its fetish object, specifying its particular hotness and how it makes
the narrator feel -- one young man tastes his Mistress's toes through
her musky fishnets with adoration and lust; a hungry boot slut inhales
the whiff of acrid boot polish melting in the hot sun as she kneels to
polish a series of military boots. The stories were very hot for that
very intensity, that rareness." -- T.R. Moss-alt.com

A favourit style of me is "blue-art" photography. With these pictures I
try to show the artistic and sensual nude in a special and different
way. Pictures like this can only be made when there is a trustful
agreement between model and photographer. For a photoshoot in this
style I like to talk things over with the model so there will be no
misunderstandings.
