Did you notice the clique member Bruce who died in the first scene, was dark haired and swarthy and his mousy friend Raymond, whom the rest of the BP clique and Bruce hated, was the same? And after the start, everyone else was blonde, except Brian Metro?
What are they doing? Why do they come here?
Some kind of instinct, memory, what they used to do.
It's Hollywood. The blue eyed blond ideal has been cultivated for decades in Hollywood films. How can anyone be surprised THE INFORMERS would be any different?

It was supposed to be a humorous post. Easton was always writing about how blondes are worshiped in LA & Hollywood.

Interesting. I've never read any of his novels, so the humour was lost on me.

I did see LESS THAN ZERO and found that very moving. The characters were all from privileged backgrounds, but I tapped into them.
THE INFORMERS was just too decadent for me to enjoy. It seemed that with all the good looks in the genetic lottery, more than enough wealth, and all the privilege that goes with that (such as all that free and easy sex), you would think these people would be happier. Instead, they seemed angry and hostile toward each other.
I'm going to assume Bret Ellis Easton wasn't exaggerating, this movie was the Los Angeles he experienced growing up. Judging from this movie, being rich and beautiful has it's own challenges.
BTW, I did enjoy the movie as far as better understanding how the elite live.
