Bestselling Goth-or?

Everyone thinks they can write the book on style, it seems. Just recently we've seen guides from Posh Beckham, Rachael Zoe, and next up... burlesque superstar Dita VonTeese (a.k.a. Heather Renee Sweet).
According to WWD, VonTeese has something in the works for late 2008:
"I wanted a rule-breaking beauty book that's about retro glamour and eccentric makeup — a book that teaches you how to put it on," said Von Teese."
She's a self-created style icon (thats no stylist, no makeup and hair brigade) so though the costumey pinup steeze ain't my bag, I have respect for her. She does an excellent job putting herself together, dodging the mainstream while still looking age and event-appropriate. She also seems (aside from that whole marriage thing with Marilyn Manson) pretty bright. This could be an essential how-to book for vintage divas worldwide. We shall see.
