The Arts of Beauty & Hints to Gentlemen on the Art of Fascinating
Kaz Cooke brilliantly illustrates this classic of manners and mores by the 19th-century actress and dancer who had affairs with, amongst others, Franz Liszt and Ludwig I of Bavaria, and famously horsewhipped the editor of the Ballarat Times during her visit to the goldfields in 1856.

Description
Lola Montez was the greatest show-off on earth. Born in 1818, she was famous for being rowdy, wicked, and gorgeous. She travelled to all corners of the earth, seducing royalty, performing sexy dances, and throwing tantrums. She drove men mad with a glimpse of her breasts and horsewhipped those who insulted her, including an Australian reporter.
In this smart and hilarious guide to beauty, first published in 1858, Lola Montez offers a bizarre series of hints on everything from make-up to hair disasters. And she has a word or two of indispensable advice for men who want to seduce women.
With her marvellous cartoons and introduction to Lola's life, Kaz Cooke has paid homage to the original Modern Girl. If you've ever wondered whether squeezing orange juice into your eyes will brighten them, or tried to charm a girl by peering down her cleavage, The Arts of Beauty is the book for you.
