"   What is in a name? Growing up in the eighties you were instantaneously popular just by your name. Think about it. I never met a Tiffany, Stacey or Kelly that did not possess pre-mature celebrity magnetism that could command a playground with their stir-up leggings and collection of slap bracelets. I never thought that the name Malina was exotic or even worthy of being butchered, but for some reason 1987 in Bloomfield Hills MI, the girls that would eventually be the muse for the movie Mean Girls, found a way, as most young girls do, to maneuver the letters in my name like a game of Scrabble realizing that M.A.L.I.N.A also worked to be A.N.I.M.A.L. I was thrilled to find out that my name meant little raspberry in Russian and was led to believe that it was essentially masterminded by my mother who forecasted her daughter to be a mogul in training who would eventual need a clever yet personal title to her production company. What I found out more recently that my mother&amp;#039;s airy laissez faire approach to life was applied to naming her first born. She told me on a recent weekend, I kid you not, that her favorite fashion magazine at the time was an Italian book named Lina. She liked the magazine so much that she thought maybe she should name her first-born daughter after it. I know that I have just entered a whole new level of pathetic but wonder if I was ready to procreate-don&amp;#039;t hold your breath I can barely take care of a goldfish let alone myself-which fashion magazine I would name my daughter after? Vogue? Pop? Marie-Claire? I think that Elle would be the obvious choice. God I need a hobby! -Malina V. Joseph "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
