Timeless Beauty Author:Lola Montez, Juanita Leisch In the middle of the 1800s, Lola Montez danced "The Spider Dance," a scandalous exhibition complete with costume. But, she never became as famous as a dancer as she did when she had an affair with a powerful politician-in fact, a head of state. This relationship with King Ludwig of Bavaria, and her popular book in 1858, "The Arts of Beauty: Secr... more »ets of A Ladies Toilette," vaulted her to worldwide fame. That book, as well as her "Hints to Gentlemen on the Art of Fascinating" is re-published here along with another 19th century gem, "The Young Girl's Book of Healthful Amusements and Exercises." These pages will amuse and fascinate modern readers with chapters such as, "How to Obtain a Handsome Form," " Importance of Hair as an Ornament," and "Fifty Rules in the Art of Fascinating."« less
