Confessions of a Video Vixen

Product Information

Ice-T was the force that brought Steffans to the West Coast, he opened up avenues for her exposure, as long as she put out and he was interested. Steffans would open the door and who would be standing there but I quote "NBA superstar, world champion, Olympic gold-medalist Shaquille O'Neal. I focus on this so much because, let's face it, she may claim this book is her story and a cautionary tale and all, but she gives way too much of the wrong kinds of detail for it not to also be a celebrity tell-all.

She is like a reality show star sure you know who she is but she can be easily forgotten as a person who was famous for a bit but she hasn’t really earned a career. But here I lay on a cold bathroom floor, hugging the toilet's frigid porcelain, completely hopeless. Among many other media outlets Paula Zahn, Donny Deutsch, Tyra Banks, Bill O'Reilly, Geraldo Rivera, Kathy Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb,and the queen of daytime herself, Oprah Winfrey have sought Karrine and helped propel her into the limelight and even contributed satirical editorial to HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher. Part tell-all, part cautionary tale, this emotionally charged memoir from a former video vixen nicknamed 'Superhead' goes beyond the glamour of celebrity to reveal the inner workings of the hip-hop dancer industry--from the physical and emotional abuse that's rampant in the industry, and which marked her own life--to the excessive use of drugs, sex and bling.In 2011, Steffans engaged a slew of author hopefuls to launch the Steffans Publishing's premiere publishing venture -- a series of anthologies, the first to be published June of 2012. She tried to justify being so promiscuous, but none of it made any sense, so it was really hard to see her in any good light.

I'm over people who use that excuse in real life so maybe this is why I had no sympathy for her sob.I marveled at how damaged Karrine's self-esteem was, and I kept reading with the hopes that she had learned from her mistakes. after that inspiring read I'm going on to read DMX's autobiography (another one abandoned by father and beaten daily by mother) and Dancing With the Devil about P.
