    We actually do a calendar for friends and family. It’s a great way to recap the year of Bowie photos.

      I don’t know if you’ve seen (or read) Red, White, and Royal Blue, but I just have to relate this dialog (the context is Alex, the son of the US president, starting a romantic relationship with Prince Henry, third in line of succession to the throne):

      Henry: “You thought I was a dumb blond, didn’t you?”

      “Not exactly, just, boring,” Alex says. “I mean, your dog is named David, which is pretty boring.”

      “After Bowie.”

      “I—” Alex’s head spins, recalibrating. “Are you serious? What the hell? Why not call him Bowie, then?”

      “Bit on the nose, isn’t it?” Henry says. “A man should have some element of mystery.”
