This section of the book talked about life style and entertainment. According to Bruce McLean the key to entertainment was the style and perfect pose. During 1973 and 1974 artists researched this "perfect pose" which resulted into hilarious performances in London. Examples of these performances is "The Pose that Took us to the Top, Deep Freeze." (1973) Along with these performances artists walked the streets in crazy costumes. These were known as costume performances. Performance artists drew on all aspects of spectacle and entertainment for the structure of their work. From this style of performance artists transitioned into punk aesthetic. The mood of these pieces were seen as disruptive and cynical.
