Steph is gorgeous. That’s the first thing you notice. It’s why everyone’s staring.
She doesn’t know it. Doesn’t understand how a crowd can get so caught up in just the look of her. It’s part of her charm. Part of her freshness. Part of that something that just makes you want to stare and wish you were her.
She’s perfect and petite. Pure Mediterranean. Her head tilts when she laughs, when she talks….about the things she’s done and will do.
She wears kaftans and Birkenstocks and loves with her eyes.
“A woman who looks like that could have anything.” Men say it all the time. And they mean it.
She could let them do for her, but why should she? She knows what she wants and it’s not just ‘anything’. ‘Anything’ is too ordinary. Too common.
Yes. Steph is gorgeous. She doesn’t see the crowd. And she laughs. Out loud.

sounds like me
No – it sounds more like me. I am that rare breed of gentleman who attracts ladies like fruit flies to a discarded orange because of a certain… je ne sais quoi. A debonaire aplomb, perhaps; or an odd facility with language; a superfluousness of excess talents… perhaps the fact that I can wriggle my ears and write backwards with my left hand, even both at the same time.
I really have not been able to figure it out, knowing it only as my blessing and my curse.
Well now, Percival, if you’re not a right super catch, then who is?
It is always a pleasure to encounter these types of people. The ones that can light a room with their vibrance, laugh, smile and presence yet remain beautifully oblivious to their effect on others.
I’d like to hear more about this “Steph”. Where ever did you meet such a lady? I bet she takes after an older and more beautiful cousin….. maybe the first born? Keep writing buffers.
Hmmm, I think she could be you! You tilt your head, certainly love with your eyes and I can imagine you laugh out loud! I bet your hubby would agree with me!
I really love your character sketches, Buffy!! And my first thought was the same as Hatti’s! Could be you!!
Ooooh, I’d love to look like Steph….and laugh like her. But I think the head-tilting thing is as ‘in common’ as it gets.
Hatti darling, you’re too sweet, as usual.
And Elizabeth, you always flatter me.
She does sound like a delightful person and good friend to have around, too.
She sounds as beautiful inside as outside.
She’s sounds beautiful. I love the way you wrote this post!
When I saw the title of this post, I was like, “Ooh, a post about me!” Then I got to the third paragraph and thought, “Oh, she must be writing about Stephanie Klein, not me.”
LOL from another Steph
Manic Mom, thanks for the comment. ‘Steph’ is no relation to Ms Klein….but rather a gorgeous young woman I grew up with.
