The days of the blonde bombshell, an archetype perhaps best promoted and exploited by L.A.'s own perpetual ladies' man, Hugh Hefner, might finally be numbered.

And once again it's Los Angeles that is leading the way. The rest of the nation is catching up with SoCal's long-standing dating preferences.

… Asian American.
