Confessions of a Video Vixen

Product Information

It’s a book that is more of a work of gossip. Karine Steffans writes a tell all to warn girls of how easy it is to be corrupted and to have self confidence to make something of yourself and tries to discourage them from doing things she did but then gloats about how rewarding some of the experiences were and what they have gotten her and how successful it made her because of it and she makes it seem like it is ok. 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 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.

In 2003, Steffans appeared in the action movie A Man Apart, starring Vin Diesel.

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. I read this with a certain schadenfreude in that no matter how bad my love life is, it's not this bad. The author is a good storyteller and it make this story easy to read. On the other hand, she's an unreliable narrator and often says contradicts herself and tries to paint herself in the best light no matter what happens. In her first marriage, she includes diary entries of events but in another entry it contradicts her account of when they last had sex. Steffans, Karrine; Hunter, Karen (2005).

It was awful. All she did was brag about all the celebs she slept with, and how they wives were at home knowing they were with her. I can only imagine the lives she ruined. The broken families.

Just finished reading this book, and it was certainly very interesting, especially for the high "wow" factor of all the names that she lists in some detail. BUT, I have noticed that Karrine never fully takes responsibility for her own actions. She blames her mother, her father, the men that didn't come through for her....everyone but herself,really. I found some unsavory comments that she made about Tyra Banks after their tiff on Tyra's show and yet again it proves the type of person she is: I'm no gushing Tyra fan myself, but there was no call for her to broadcast Tyra's real or alleged dalliances for the world. If Karrine decided that she wanted to write a book as a cautionary tale to young women and girls, then she should do it selflessly, fully aware that she would not be placed on a pedestal for this act. a b c d Thabie Sibanda (November 25, 2008). "Former 'video vixen' discusses women in hip hop culture". Daily Sundial. In 2015, ten years after the release of her first book, Steffans published Vindicated: Confessions of a Video Vixen, Ten Years Later, with a foreword by King magazine founder Datwon Thomas. [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 ] I would almost never call a woman a slut. I think it endorses a really sexist idea of women's sexuality. This book really stretched my beliefs though. Steffans tries to make it sound like she had relationships with a lot of famous hip hop stars and athletes but when she gets down to the details she mainly slept with them, sometimes in exchange for financial support. the first sex scene with Ja Rule is incredibly hilarious, because Superhead/Karrine Steffans is a terrible writer. Every time she has sex with someone she talks about their bodies/lips "pressing together" or "sealing together." This was probably the most descriptive sex scene in the book. I feel bad for Ja Rule. Nobody wants to have their sex life on display like that!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. My point is this book was her chance to cash in on ALL the bad decisions she has made in her life -- her goal was to be rich and popular by any means necessary and she did that!! She still continues to cash in...just as many other misguided youths will try with less effective results...this book was still a blatant pursuit for the road to the riches...pun intended!! I will not read another Karrine book because she will just string you along with lies about who she has been with which seems to be as many men and women as "wilt chamberlan"!!!! I hope it was worth it!!! I guess thats what they call call turning shit to sugar!!!! The book was not a good read and she shouldve had someone else narrate it...she was not effective in getting the so-called message across!! If you like soap operas and you like gossip then this is for you...if you looking for a feel good story...pass on this one!!

a b c d Nia-Malika Henderson (July 29, 2005). "A Bawdy Lifestyle, and How to Shake It". The Washington Post. it’s a wildly uneven book. It’s like the equivalent of reading a trashy novel. She gives her philosophy of life which feels like dime store wisdom. 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. Steffans, Karrine (2009).
