Summer 2000 I had just finished moving into my new place in Newport Beach, I had been living in Redondo Beach with my x and our son and after many unhappy conversations we did the best thing and decided to split up, she went her way and I went mine. It wasn't easy as I thought it would, as a matter of fact it took a long time to for me to start feeling good again and to be able to speak to her without getting that sinking feeling I use to get in my stomach. One thing that helped me was a visit from an old friend of mine that happen to stopped by to see my new place and to make sure I was in good spirits, well I must say that after many good spirits I was feeling just fine. He also brought with him a computer and monitor as a house warming gift and we proceeded to get it hooked up and contacted MSN for Internet service. That ladies and gentlemen was my introduction to the Internet world. Who needs sleep when you have a computer!! A week later I'm surfing everywhere, not for cars, guitars, stereos or even match.com, I was searching the web for babes, what else does a single guy do? Look for babes!! I never knew time could go by so quickly, every hour went by like minutes every minute went by like a nanosecond, 2AM, 3AM , 4AM , I'm still on the Internet. Stephi at 15-16, appears Its Monday afternoon and I just got home from work, kicked off my shoes, poured a glass of wine and walked over to the computer that seemed to be calling out to me, as if it had something real special to show me. I went to my search bar and typed models, or models first time or models period, as a matter of fact the search engine of choice back then was "Hotbot" it would give you the top ten sites for your request. I clicked on several and then I clicked on another, all of a sudden I see this image on the screen, here's this young lady appearing on the screen, she looked 15 or so, short hair, brown eyes, wearing a white blouse and a short pleated skirt, standing in front of a tree. I said to myself and I must say it was a very profound statement, I said, "WOW!! pause pause, WOW!!!" "Who is this girl?" "Stephi" I proceeded to click on the previews, I believe there was 3 sets at the time, young Stephi had this girl next door look, very shy looking and yet so very sexy, she had a face of 15 year old or younger but her body was beautifully developed. Keep in mind there was nothing exposed but with her figure you knew no matter what she wore she's a Hottie. I was over whelmed by this beautiful young lady, she was so very different from all the models I had come across during those first couple of weeks or anytime after that. I must admit I waited a few days to join not weeks but just a couple of days and I have been a member ever since. The updates were all so very good, still no real exposure, bikini's, short skirts an open or low cut top nevertheless she looked better dressed then any model on the web that wasn't dressed. Looking Back If any of you remember back then, there were certainly a lot of models, just like today however those models back then are not around today except for a few. Those few went from NN to nude or more, there's a couple models like Stephi that stayed NN, some of them are still under age, so they may change when they reach 18. Stephi and the Girls As some of you may remember, Stephi appeared at a group that had other models with their own site, all trying to gain as much attention and memberships as they could and each and everyone of them had there own style and look. Stephi had her own style and look but hers, for obvious reasons clearly was so much different then the others. It was like she wasn't even trying to get noticed, her poses were so very natural, she made you feel intelligent, with great taste because we paid more attention to Stephi then any other model. 2004, Stephi no more One day I read at Stephi's site that it was closing, and I inquired about it and it was confirmed from the site. Remember that feeling I spoke of earlier? That sinking feeling in my stomach when my wife and I split up? It happened again, the thought of Stephi not being there twice a week, I know it sounds silly but I felt like I lost an old friend and started to feel this awful void. Called on Columbo Now that Stephi had been gone for a few weeks I put my Columbo hat on and decided to do some investigative work to try and find out what was going on and to see if anyone knew anything about Stephi. I wrote to her former site, checked out as many forums as I could find, posted messages everywhere, nothing!! Then finally something came through, a photographer and webmaster from True Teens answered my posting and said that he had heard that Stephi has started a group at Yahoo and working on her own site. He went on to say that he would love to work with her again because she was wonderful to work with, not to mentioned so very camera friendly. Stephi has been located My source was right, I found Stephi at her own Yahoo group, with several photos and her announcement was that her site, "Stephisparadise.com" will soon be open. Well, after reading her message and seeing her new photos, that sinking feeling and the void I felt was gone. I swore that I heard a church choir singing from across the street, singing, "Hallelujah" Hallelujah" Stephi is back and all is good. What will she wear, will she change her style? One thing I was certain of, no matter what, it was going to be great and better then anything on the web. Look out you other sites!!! Stephi is Back!! Thank you Stephi Thank you Stephi for returning back in 2004, thank you for your dedication to the site and to the group and to all of your fans. Thank you for the 2 updates a week that we can depend on being there week after week. Thank you for taking so much pride with the little things that you do, such as; your nails and pedicure are always perfect and beautiful, your beautiful hair, curly or straight or with highlite, the wet look, pulled back or pig tails, your hair always looks great. Thank you for your smile and those beautiful brown eyes that puts the smile on our faces and the warmth in our hearts. Thank you for making our life's better not because our life's are not perfect, perhaps its the secret or dream that we enjoy so much. There's nothing wrong with a little fantasy or dream, its good for the soul and brightens our spirits and we chose you to fill those dreams and brighten our day. As our day is filled with joy from Paradise, your days are now filled with so much joy from your own little Paradise. Thank you Stephi!! Thank you very, very much!! Happy Anniversary Stephi, I wish we could all be with you on this day, so that you could see the smile on our faces, the joy in our hearts and to give you a great big hug, with a whisper in your ear to say, "We love you!!"
