dita von teese: pocketvenus

This booklet of erotic fiction came free with the June 2006 issue of Arena magazine. Several women of note took part, including Dita Von Teese.

Arena’s Introduction:

“You may have noticed that we’re quite partial to women at Arena. For all sorts of reason – some obvious, some less so. But for most men with a degree of self-confidence, there are few things more attractive than a girl who knows her own mind. And body. And what she likes when it comes to what our forebears euphemistically referred to as “marital duties.” And, ideally, is prepared to express those desires both in actions and words. And diagrams, if need be.

In glorious celebration, then, of the power of female sexuality, we present 10 erotic stories written by the world’s filthiest writers – all of whom ‘just happen’ to be women (we’ve checked and we’re sure). From burlesque queen Dita von Teese’s highly charged historical vignette to pop princess Pink’s paean to ’self-help,’ from acclaimed Italian author Melissa P’s subtle suggestion to UK porn director Anna Span’s graphically played-out fantasy, there’s enough variations on the theme to keep even the most worldly, weary or downright deviant amongst you satisfied. The letters page of Razzle will never seem quite so satisfying again…”
