Glamorama

The name of a boutique in Los Angeles that became so infamous that it became a dictionary word, although I've yet to find it in a dictionary. A book by Bret Easton Ellis about Victor, a delsuional youth who can't work what's going on or where he is. Essentially a made up world of glamor. The title is based around the idea of fake becoming reality, a bit like MTV. Naturally Victor's been on MTV, trouble is he doesn't seem to know when he's on it. Awesome. Cryptic. Has been called the book of the 90s.
