welcome to my life! it's a life full of stories that are researched within an inch of their life. *hugs* i feel your pain.
i'm so completely unaware of bowie. but that's why it ends up being cautioned against to add pop culture references into a book. it dates the book. imagine reading a book where the main (female) character is considered fashionable for wearing a fanny pack, shorts with tights beneath them, and suits of all types (blazer + skirt, blazer + pants, blazer + shorts). the last time that looked anywhere near fashionable was late eighties, early nineties. the character is WAY dated.
