Even more interesting is Steffans told Milan that having sex with lots of men helps a woman know exactly what she wants which makes her able to reject more men. In fact she’s working on a new book now about slut shaming and sexual freedom.

I borrowed this book from a friend because I did not want to assist Karrine in her pursuit for riches from immoral acts. But I was interested in hearing what all the talk was about. Well, I'll tell you one thing...fathers...stay close to your daughters and show them all the love you can show them because if not you might have a daughter or daughters like Karrine....searching her whole life to be accepted and love by men to replace the love she needed from her dad!! That was the message loud and clear to me. I did not enjoy the book...it had me shaking my head throughout the read...I was like how many times can a person fall in love??? I was sad for her most of the time but as I read I realize that she commanded MOST of the problems she had due to bad judgement calls and wanting to satisfy her desires (money or sex)...the drugs and booze didn't help. I felt bad for her son and how he must feel about his mother right now...I don't think she has changed much as I look at the other books she has pushed out to solitify her as a "superhead" or the ultimate bad girl in the entertainment industry...it was a sad read. She talked about alot of men in this book and I'm sure you can multiply that shit by 10 to get the true numbers...shit I bet she don't even know...she was so high or drunk !! I don't think this story will deter young girls from taking this path...she wouldve had to die in this story to really get her message across effectively...so much for the meassge!! The message is being a ho is good..it worked for me and here I wrote a book about it...wanna hear it...here it go!!!! In this story there was no message to stop what she was doing in any way mostly because as she said she enjoyed it all the way to the end...come on ...Bobby Brown...she was scrapping the barrel!!

Besides being a terribly written, eye-rolling disaster of a book, Confessions Of A Video Vixen really could have used an editor. Seriously, who edited this? It's riddled with split infinitives; her grammar is terrible. She uses the passive voice way too often. All of the events are oddly dated, like, "On February 16, 2000, I slept with so-and-so." I felt like I was reading a low-budget blog. This is far and away the worst of them. First of all, Steffans tries to identify herself as a "video vixen" but then reveals in the book that most women in music videos are actually professional models and have little to do with the hip hop social scene. Steffans, Karrine (2011). SatisFaction: Erotic Fantasies for the Advanced & Adventurous Couple. New York: Grand Central Publishing. ISBN 978-0-44655-320-9. Steffans was born in Saint Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, and moved to Florida when she was 10 years old. She has written about her troubled childhood: she grew up in poverty, suffered emotional and physical abuse at the hands of an alcoholic mother and indifferent father, and was raped when she was 13. She ran away at 16, and began working as an exotic dancer. She lived on the streets for a month. She lived in New York and Arizona, and then moved to Los Angeles in 1999. She currently resides near Hollywood. [3] When she was 17, Steffans moved in with rapper Nathaniel Wilson, better known as Kool G Rap, with whom she had a son. Their relationship was "tumultuous", and Steffans says she left for Los Angeles to protect her son after physical abuse landed her in the hospital.

Karrine Steffans Biography". HarperCollins Speakers Bureau. December 12, 2006. Archived from the original on August 18, 2009. Her journey is filled with physical abuse, rape, drug and alcohol abuse, homelessness and single motherhood—all by the age of 26. By sharing her story, Steffans hopes to shed light on an otherwise romanticised industry and help young women avoid the same pitfalls she encountered. If they're already in danger, she hopes to inspire them to find a way to dig themselves out of what she knows first-hand I don’t fault her for telling her life story and feel sorry for the abuse she has suffered but if she wants to send a message there could have sermonized a little more plus certain things she thinks are romantic seem more to be her being taken advantage of more or just wrong Like the Jay-Z story or the Irv gotti story. She also seems to sensualize some of her stories but then they just end abruptly yet she can tell you exact details of materialistic things like what suit a person wore or what kind of car a person drove plus the interior of the car.

Monday – 4:00 pm EST BNO; Transcript: "Stupid Girls; former video dancer Karrine Steffans and singer Pink discuss the objectification of women"; Producer Ellen Rakieten I don’t think this is great literature and some of the sentence structure is a bit incoherent but is it a very human story and really entertaining? Very much so. Confessions of a Video Vixen is a memoir written by Karrine Steffans which details the first 25 years of her life. Part tell-all covering her sexual liaisons with music industry personalities and professional athletes, and part cautionary tale about the dangers of the otherwise romanticized hip-hop music industry, it caused considerable controversy in some circles. Karrine 'Superhead' Steffans is a former video vixen who has a long and storied history with messing with various rappers in the industry. In her book Vindicated, she described how Method Man was one of her "conquests." Jazmine Denise Rogers (December 3, 2012). "I'm Not Me Without Him: Karrine Steffans Speaks On Strange Relationship With Lil Wayne And Leaving Her Husband". MadameNoire.I will admit that sometimes I start a book with a great deal of skepticism about its content and this was definitely the case with Vindicated. I read Karrine’s first book where she detailed her so-called exploits with some of hip hop’s biggest names so I had mixed feelings going into this one. A part of me applauded her for behaving in a manner that many men do without any apologies and another part of me thought her behavior was a cry for help. In 2003, Steffans appeared in the action movie A Man Apart, starring Vin Diesel. [5] In 2007, musicians Datwon Thomas and DJ Rhude released a mixtape called Freaky Flows, with a spoken word introduction and epilogue by Karrine Steffans, made available for free through King magazine.

[20] Speaking about the legacy of her output, Steffans said, "I realized recently that I'm surrounded by young women who have never had a sexual revolution. So I became almost this figure, this Joan of Arc [for them]". [21] Selected works [ edit ] Steffans, Karrine (2013). How To Make Love to a Martian. Los Angeles: Steffans Publishing.

The book itself is horribly written - from the poor sentencing and paragraphing it was almost hard to believe the book was published this way, but i understand that the story was too juicy and scandalous to pass up. all of the times that she 'falls in love' right after meeting a celebrity, then starts crying because she's so in love and it's so sudden and raw and intense and blah blah blah (OH MY GOD THIS BOOK IS SO TERRIBLE). I went into this book genuinely, seriously wanting to love Superhead. I expected a memoir by a woman owning her sexuality, shaking haters off, all of that good stuff. No dice. This woman hates herself, hates other women, and feels sooo sorry for herself, even though the only people she should feel sorry for are the people in her life. For a decade, Confessions of a Video Vixen author Karrine Steffans and the details of her private life have been the subject of debate and scrutiny. But, as gossipmongers and critics speculated, assumed, and manufactured tall tales about the New York Times bestselling author, Karrine hid herself and her truth from the world, imprisoned by an abusive marriage and the judgments of society.After reading these confessions, I will never judge anyone who follows in her footsteps. Everyone has a story to tell and most times its not so neat. Confessions of a Video Vixen recounts Steffans' life from her troubled girlhood living in poverty in St. Thomas, through abuse, drugs, rape and living as a teenage runaway who turns to stripping and hip hop modeling to support herself and, later, her young son.
