I like Dita Von Teese, and she seems to be growing with the times, but this book is certainly a relic of it's time.
It was definitely fun to see how she lives and advice from her friends. She encourages the readers to embrace themselves--usually. The one flaw with her advice is the few times she says certain things must be done. (But goes on to suggest certain icons rocked things like a monobrow. Why can't the reader be the next person to rock something unique!)
I was disappointed with some of the editing too. Basics like "turn to page 000" were left in. I think the first edition lacks polish, which is shocking for a woman like Dita.
I have no idea if there are newer editions which tighten up the editing or anything else.
It's a fun read, but it's not a book I would recommend to all of my friends. Maybe just a few of them.
