An instant bestseller upon publication, Confessions of a Video Vixen is the page-turning memoir of Karrine Steffans: dancer, actress, and companion to many a celebrity. But more than a glimpse at what happens in the boardrooms and bedrooms of hip hop's A list, Confessions of a Video Vixen is also the first true account of how women are treated in the music industry, and its honest, direct revelations have generated debates and controversy across the country.
By sharing her story, Steffans hopes to shed light on an otherwise romanticized industry and help young women avoid the same pitfalls she encountered--and if they're already in danger, she hopes to inspire them to find a way to pull themselves out of what she knows firsthand to be a cycle of hopelessness and despair.
REVIEW
Eye-Opening I must lift my hat to KS who had the guts to paper her life as a whore among hip hops' unfinest. This book is obviously a best seller not because of the writing skills of the author but because of the telling revelations so candily splattered from across the not too many pages. Honestly, I would have loved to hear a lot more of what she has to say.
The saying that all men are dogs seems indeed true. Married or not, these men were having their cake and eating it and paying dearly for it.
KS did good, she brought these scumbags out in the open for all the young girls to see that yes, it is true, you are just being used.
I wish KS all the best. She is indeed a troubled woman, rich but troubled nonetheless.
Bottomline is, if you are naive like I was about what goes on in the hip hop circles, this book will have your eyes wide open. I read it in one day.
