So, I was bored one evening (tonight, as it happens) and as we do in the digital age I decided to google my name and find out what other Steffies exist on this planet. There's a lot of us in Europe: a couple Germans, a Steffie from the Netherlands, and a Brit Steffie who blogs about her "frolics." 19-year-old Steffie from Glasgow's Myspace "about me" reads: "hey y'all, steffie doll comin atchya xx hey im stef , im 19 from buzzin renfreeewww :S i <3 drinking and hanging with my bezzi mates >thanks u lot, u all mean the world to mee.." Think she's drunk? I can't tell. There's also a Steffie who lives on an Indian reservation, and a 23-year-old Steffie in South Pasadena. Steffie Woolhandler is a professor of medicine at Harvard, and Mrs. Steffie Rhodes starred in a Marcus Welby, MD episode from 1975.
But the most intriguing Steffie I found tonight is a long-lost relative of Barbie, a collectible doll whose face was later transposed onto Barbie's much more famous li'l sis PJ (damn her!).
Here's a description from www.dollreference.com, which describes the "Steffie" doll pictured above:
"Medium blonde hair curly ends, & bangs, blue eyes, painted eyelashes, one piece shorts-suit, blue hot pants, pink & white checked long sleeve blouse, pink & white checked knee-hi socks, white shoes, black & white small checked belt & hat, special hands that can hold or grasp items. A record player, T.V., telephone, serving tray with 2 glasses and travel case all in brown plastic were included."
Pretty sassy, huh? A one-piece shorts suit with checkered knee socks sounds right up my alley! Not to mention a record layer and serving tray with two glasses! And I'm so glad the Steffie doll has got hands that can "hold or grasp items", as this is very important for a young lady.
And speaking of young ladies and hands that can grasp items, the Urban Dictionary offers a staggering number of variations on the Steffie theme.
According to whoever writes this thing, Steffie means:
1) a short girl with really big boobs 2) one who stares at peopleas in: Stop staring at me! You're such a Steffie!
A Steffie-dee, on the other hand, has two very distinct meanings, that have nothing to do with big boobs.
1) A woman with small boobs (bee stings)
2) A women who has no sense of dress and looks like a tramp.
usage:
1. How small are her steffie-dee's! 2. That women is a Full on Steffie-Dee wanna-be!
Steffy butts, in case you were wondering, are simply "people who are unusually weird."
Spelled Steffi, it "means you are having a laff, because you would say having a steffi graff. which is like having a laff."
Spelled Stefi, it basically means dumbass.
adj- word used to express ignorance or retardness.
noun- a person who crashes a lot and engages into several accidents including vehicles.
- I've never heard something more ignorant. You're such a Stefi today!
- That Stefi crashed my car five times today!
Luckily, there's Stefy, which is defined as:
The greatest girl and best friend one could have in this world. The most extreme rarity of a person. *sidenote* EXTREMELY hot and SUPER sexy. She WILL make u want her so badly by just LOOKING at her.
Tell me something I didn't know.
xo- the REAL Steffie

I'm with Dorothy Parker. Heaven sent the computer, no moving parts for me to mangle, once broke a new typewriter first time changing the ribbon. Technology is such a gas, that's entertainment.

INTRIGUING WORK, STEFFIE!
I visited Urban Dictionary.com and typed in 'Caroline', and found these very pleasing results! I dont understand how I can possibly be single!
Caroline
1. A hottie
2. A real find, someone special who you could spend the rest of your life with (synonym for wifey)
3. A sweetheart who is the perfect example of womanhood: beautiful face, hot body, intelligent, good taste, just sexy in every way.
4. Unattainable perfection.
1. Shit man, did you see the booty on that cutie? she was a real Caroline, no doubt.
2. I think Ima propose to my Caroline any day now.
3. There's this Caroline I know...she's a harvard student and models in her spare time.
4. Adriana Lima has a gorgeous body, but they must have made her look more toned than she actually is...there's no way her body could be so close to Caroline.

HEy there Steffi !
Funny thing! I was bored too - that is, til I found your entry on Steffis here.
Because of much much confusion in the past present and future.. I would like to submit a universal send out to All...... Both apology and complaint ... And Both from my heartfelt gut.
All my life, folks, I have had to remind and re-remind again - nearly everyone but my immediate family- that my name is spelled with an F.
"F"!!!!!!!!!!!!
To those who have suffered at the hands of my withering stink- eye of practiced reproachment when they blithely and forgetfully stay right there in mental and physical situ..... AND THEN go ahead and write down ____ Ste PH anie _____ ANYWAY!!!! ... please forgive.
It's been years of abuse.
As to the rest of you...
STOP IT!!!!
When I spell my name and EMPHISISE the "F" - will you please write it down correctly ????
And if my name is to be listed in credits... PLEASE make sure the chyron guy gets it RIGHT!!!
It's ALL above the line, people!!!!!
Not that there's anything wrong with Ste"ph"anie....
BUT LOOK AT IT!!!!
THAT name is pronounced Step Hainey..
It's a shame.
Howsomeever...
Long ago I renamed myself...( Just about the same time I decided that I was not going to be an Aries anymore... but instead was going to be a Gemini...) and the result has proven beneficial to my world.
StebbyLee Simpson is my nome de plumed choice.
I have a studio where I make hats... and lamps as well.
Cheers!
Steb
