But where does taste come from? Is there a true standard of taste? Are we slaves to the cruel whims of fashion? Who's in control? Good Taste is an enthralling exploration of the cultural history of an idea. In this enticing book - divided into chapters exploring cultural artefacts of absolutely all kinds - Trifonas and Balomenos warn: you are what you choose! Highlights include: TV chefs * Ozzy Osbourne and Reality TV * The 70s fashion conspiracy * Disney * Madonna * Lamborghini * The history of cleavage * High heels * Elvis * Body piercing * Hip-hop * Oprah Winfrey * Ageing rock bands * Turn-ups * Harry Potter * Fake tans and much, much more ...
