Brand nerd stuff.
Stuff like this fascinates me.
There's not much to add to the captions.
I'd still love my car, whatever it was called. Well. Maybe not a "Cherry." there are cars called that, you know.
Fine.
Personally, I wonder how "Bored Panda" got its name.
Obvs.
Knew this one.
I'd be happy to explain the provenance of HV to anyone who cares, too.

Because you’re a fabulous force of nature?
Yes, I would love to know where HV comes from. It hadn’t occurred to me to ask, actually but now I need to know.
Yeah, tell us.
I actually won’t sleep again until I know.
Lol! I am also nerdily interested in all this name-origin stuff. Now yours, HV! We’re all waiting with bated breath! Maybe you should make it a competition? I have an idea or two…
I returned here thinking I’d see a few paragraphs explaining the HV origin. C’mon, at least five of us are curious…
OK!
It’s not that great a story though …
Before I became becalmed – by pragmatism, age, years of fruitless and soul-destroying negotiations with fashion departments – I was somewhat tempestuous.
I was a great slammer of doors, thrower of phone books and even managed to break a few window panes.
As a result, while my sisters were gifted with the nicknames “Joolsbools” and “Cathrinkabitch” (Don’t ask, that was NOTHING to do with me,) I have been called “HurricaneVanessa,” by my family, my entire life.
The name has stuck, even though it has been many years since I have thrown anything.
There have been moments (when faced with certain fashion shoots,) that I have considered throwing myself under a passing bus, but luckily, I have learned perspective.
Which is a beautiful thing.
That’s it!
