I know I owe you answers to the rest of the FAQ questions -- and they're coming, I promise. But I am FINISHING ROO3! Right now! Like, I might get to the end TODAY!
So, now I need your help with something else.
If you are UNDER THE AGE OF 18, it would help me greatly in making sure Roo's footnotes are interesting and funny and not annoying/boring if you can copy the questions below into the comments (here on the blog, not on LJ, please!) and then answer them – quickly or at length as you see fit!
Do NOT use the internet or any other reference material. What I need to know is whether my teenage audience (you guys) will get these references or not – and whether Roo should include footnotes about them. So I want to know what you know/recognize without any research. Correct answers are not the goal. Showing me what references are on your radar already is the goal.
THANK YOU!!!!

1. Who was John Belushi? "Look, I'm a zit!" He was a comedian, brother of Jim Belushi (According to Jim), and he preformed on the first years of Saturday Night Live, the best years, in my opinion. He also stared in the Frat classic, Animal House.
2. What is a hair band? Can you name one? I think a hair band was one of those bands from the late 70's and 80's. Bon Jovi.
3. What is ennui? Um....
4. Have you seen the movie Moulin Rouge? No. It's seriously waiting on my Netfilx list, though.
5. What was Queen? Only the BEST band EVER!! They brought us some of the best songs of all time! I grew up with my dad playing their records in my house, so, yeah. I know what Queen is.
6. What are Birkenstocks? Suede sandals with a hideous buckle. Incredibly comfy. They were REALLY huge in the 90s, from what I remember.

10. What is emulsion? Don't know...
11. Have you seen the movie Point Break? I don't think so. It sounds familiar though, so maybe.
12. Who is John Hughes? The KING of 80's teen angst movies!! Where would we be without Pretty in Pink, or the Breakfast Club or even FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF?!?!?! All of my favorite movies are John Hughes movies.
13. Have you read anything by Edith Wharton? No. I've heard of her, though.
14. Have you heard of/seen the movie The Godfather? I've heard of it, of course. I've see a little bit of the first one, but not the whole thing. On my list, though!
By the way, E. I am currently reading The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks and I am LOVING it!! It's the first book of yours that I've read. Ally Carter highly recommended it. :)
