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!!

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). The only interesting feature of this book is the private/sexual profiles of the stars mentioned above. I'm talking quirky behaviours and situational anecdotes, not techniques or girths, because the narrative is surprisingly romantic rather than descriptive or detailed. There's a lot of melting, filling, stroking, floating, etc., going on, a surplus of feeling without insight, but such can be found in any run-of-the-mill romance novel. It has its moments. For example, Ice-T is a main character in the book. I remembered reading Ice-T's prologue to Iceberg Slim's Pimp so I was curious about his own pimp lifestyle. It turns out that he is a most gracious, philosophical pimp. 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. When they would hold hands in public, she was only allowed to grasp his pinky finger; a symbolic gesture, meaning she could only ever possess a small part of him. He fixed her up with her first jobs in the hip hop industry, which made her the celebrated whore she is today, so when he finally cut her loose, what did he require in return? A white Cadillac, paid upon success. That's pimp! Karrine Steffans Biography". HarperCollins Speakers Bureau. December 12, 2006. Archived from the original on August 18, 2009. Her story might be more interesting if told by someone else. As it is, she's a pretty lousy writer (grammar/language wasn't as bad as I expected but narrative needed an editor in a BIG way), and I can't tell if it's the writing or the person that fails to compel me or evoke true understanding. Is she not a good or interesting person, or is she just not capable of communicating what is good or interesting about her?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 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.

I ... There's ... It's. NOT. Pornography." He would excuse his loafing by denying that he was a pervert. 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. 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!!Steffans, Karrine (2011). SatisFaction: Erotic Fantasies for the Advanced & Adventurous Couple. New York: Grand Central Publishing. ISBN 978-0-44655-320-9. It was horribly written. It was written as if she was sitting on the stoop, in the hood after the club telling her girls a story about this big time celeb she just smashed. 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.

Steffans, Karrine (2013). How To Make Love to a Martian. Los Angeles: Steffans Publishing. ISBN 978-0-61576-890-8.I know it is her memoir but she writes melodramatically almost like she is a college student trying to show off her intelligence to a professor she over does it using big words way too much for this kind of book and stories. 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 ]

Vindicated: Confessions of a Video Vixen, Ten Years Later

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. Steffans, Karrine (2009). The Vixen Manual: How to Find, Seduce and Keep the Man You Want. New York: Grand Central Publishing. ISBN 978-0-44658-227-8. 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. 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. 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. [5] Career [ edit ] Model [ edit ]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. But this time there’s no book out about the trio, instead Karrine Steffans (or Elisabeth Ovesen | let’s call her Karrine Steffans for continuance) tells the latest to Lala Milan on “ The Salon with Lala Milan,” in an hour long podcast.
