Hello and thank you for visiting! Well first of all I would like to point out that this is my first ever blog/site as one who does not usually follow things like this but it’s worth having a go!

For this blog I thought to myself what particular subject or person would I like to share my appreciation and interest with fellow visitors/bloggers? Well as far as fashion is concerned, there is one particular garment which has been for recent years the topic for many people…and that is the puffer/down coat/jacket. And before you ask, I do not possess one myself although I will try a few myself in the coming weeks in shops in and around London for curiosity’s sake! I for one can see why they are so…beguiling and intriguing to look and study at visually and psychologically speaking. In other words (bluntly): do I have a fetish for these?!!

But who doesn’t? Anyone who says no is lying in my book! But that is an subject for another time (or not) although I will say for now…there are plenty of websites devoted to puffy/down wear – and I should know because I visit a lot of these as well as online image galleries about them! Despite having visited two of them in over a year I have not until recently posted comments on them on not just a certain jacket, but a person who wears it – yes, THAT very young lady you are seeing now in the images that can not be eradicated from my mind and is the subject of this blog/site – and it’s safe to say that I have been lost for words seeing them. I have seen many the assimilation of an lovely young lady and her puffer/down wear on images online, but this must go down as the greatest – and perfect – example of such ever captured…

To begin with my photographic/fashion study of Steph and her thick and puffy red jacket I would like to tell you how I stumbled upon her online and the immediate reaction I had after first viewing this stunningly beautiful young woman. Well it is safely to say that when you see someone who you would consider to being an extremely attractive young lady for the very first and maybe the only time if you are unlucky – that is if you have the courage to ask her out for a date if she happens to be single ! – the first indication that any red-blooded heterosexual male would take notice is the face. Yes, that important and significant part of the human body when it comes to natural interactive physical and psychological attraction between a man and a woman is the most fascinating aspect of Steph’s physiological attributes which draws your attention very strongly and stays with you for as long as it can until it burns through your mind.

Her short brown hair, hazel blue eyes, nose and lips seem to reflect her natural personality and characteristics – whatever they may be that make up this stunningly gorgeous beauty in all her photogenically attractive form. But do they tell us who the ‘real’ Steph is and what makes her tick? The vast majority of us casual internet users and puffy/down coat and jacket fans who only know her by having seen her in appreciation websites and blogs like mine don’t even know who she really is – if she is a good, bad and indifferently natured person. But to us, it does not really matter – what does concerns to us is that Steph is what she is as you have seen in just five photographic images – our perception of what a young human adult female beauty should be.

So in that respect it is not difficult to see why she – of all attractive and beautiful young women wearing puffy/down coats and jackets as seen on the web – has received the most response from those who have seen her in the internet. I myself – and it has been three months since I first viewed Steph online – for some reason, she still has left me with a long-lasting impression on me, to the point that I have been – to eloquently describe in an appropriate word…haunted.

I admit it – I am one of those men who cannot help but being deeply entranced by Steph’s haunting beauty which as I said burns through your mind and into the heart and soul of your body. I have always compared this main photo of her seen above this article and everywhere on this blogsite as Leonardo da Vinci’s ‘The Mona Lisa’, in the sense that it conveys the same aspect that I mentioned earlier on – the human smile and the reaction it stays with you.

Which brings us to Steph’s very thick and very puffy red jacket – which I understand no longer exists in the market anymore: when she wore it three years ago it was among from what I have been investigating online as a very popular garment within puffy/down wear circles. So why is it now longer manufactured anymore? It was made by Marmot and was in their ‘Ennoble’ range. You can see why people loved it so much: it’s extremely thick puffiness makes it look as though it was extra skin surgically grafted on a young woman’s body, thus encasing Steph in a very protective outer shell against vicious cold weather in dark autumn/winter months as though she underwent radical futuristic high-tech body transformation procedures to become a well-suited technologically replaced part-human being, like a Cyberman from Doctor Who.

The very mention of the Time Lord’s part-organic, part-robotic arch-enemies was no accident: for some reason I always thought puffer/down coats and jackets remind me of their shiny, metallic Cybersuits. As in the case of Steph, her athletic body seems to complement her thick and puffy red Marmot Ennoble jacket: her shoulders, arms and torso fuses effortlessly into it as in Cyberspeak, a conversion. But as far as radically replacing an entire human body with extensive artificial spare-part anatomical machinery, we have not gone down that road yet – or perhaps Steph herself is an representation of the future of 21st Century fashion technology as far as adapting our fragile bodies in hostile environments in Earth or other planets is concerned, while adapting ourselves into machines that will extend our limited life-span, like the Cybermen. Steph represents the Cyberwoman in Scarlet red, whetever she wants to or not.

As I said before I find puffer/down coats intriguing in a psychological and visual sense and this one did not disappoint me to the human eye and mind: first of all the colour red I find is the most strongly contrasted colour for a coat and jacket – because obviously we associate it with all things seductive, strong, passionate, forceful, dangerous, romantic, violence, warfare, and blooded. Could all these multiple aspects of the deeply complex human condition also reflect Steph’s own personal individual identity and much more by wearing this garment?

I would like to say yes, because that would make Steph an fascinating human being if she was. But then, she – like all of us – have various mental and psychological components that carry our daily lives as human beings. We can be loving and soft-hearted on one-side hateful and hard-hearted on the other. That is what makes red such a deeply analysed and much interpreted colour, particularly in fashion terms: they say what you wear reflects yourself. Or does it? That is not always the case if you see someone wearing a certain colour or clothing. It is down to the individual person: anyone can wear whatever he/she pleases on that day and mood.

Which leads me to the response Steph has received as what I have seen online in the last few weeks. She must be in the most privileged position in being – as those who have described her – as a internet sensation and puffer/down coat celebrity! Personally I can’t speak for the lovely lady herself as I have not met her or communicated to her online, but I imagine that she must be amused and fascinated by the feedback she’s received in the last three years. If I were her and I had these photos taken of me back in 2010, I would have said at the time: ‘I would never have thought that so many guys would be writing and talking about me wearing THAT jacket…’
