Sometimes the most expensive things can be made to look cheap, and the cheapest made to look valuable. I always find it interesting what is considered to be of good taste or chic; sometimes gaudy awfulness and avant-garde triumphs are so close, yet so far apart. Your thoughts?

    What does it say about me that I think Dita von Teese’s kitchen is the most tasteful thing above? It’s kitsch, but gah, not nearly as bad as some of the others.
