If anything has ever been true about me it's that I can never meet anyone famous without gushing and making a fool of myself. I almost always dork-out and say something embarrassingly lame. I was determined to not go out like a sucka when M.I.A. had her autograph session after her show.

While we waited in line to meet her, Ava and Mariela clowned me for a list of potential baby names that I've kept that mostly consists of poetic hippy names. So I figured if Mariela didn't like the names that I came up with for our future children then maybe I should seek some advice from M.I.A..

I made sure Mariela went ahead of me in the autograph line and when it came time for me to get my CD signed I mustered every bit of courage I have and said "You just met Mariela, my girlfriend. We're planning on having a baby in the future and I was wondering if you could suggest any names?"

M.I.A. was surprised by the question but actually paused to give it serious thought. "There's two" she said in her adorable English accent holding up two fingers. "Skylar is the first...And the second one is rather similar to your name, it's Rianni."

"Thank you so much!" I gushed as I collected my CD and ran to see Mariela and Ava waiting for me. I couldn't believe I had the nerve to ask her for baby names but I'm so glad I did. Of the two, Mariela and I liked Rianni the best.

So yes, one day I will proudly tell my future son or daughter that they were named by M.I.A.

These tiny things are adorable. Even with the penny there for comparison, you still can't see in a picture just how small they really look. Leather gloves for babies! The brand name, Dent's, is imprinted on the buttons. I looked online and it says they've been making gloves from England since 1777. My grandfather was born in 1916, so that's about how old these little things are.
