Confessions of a Video Vixen

Product Information

Steffans, Karrine (2013). How To Make Love to a Martian. Los Angeles: Steffans Publishing. ISBN 978-0-61576-890-8. 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. 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.

Customer reviews

When Diddy gets really high and paranoid and warns Xzibit about Superhead, "she'll have you on video with your fingers in your booty." 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! 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 ... There's ... It's. NOT. Pornography." He would excuse his loafing by denying that he was a pervert.

Steffans, Karrine (June 2, 2015). Vindicated: Confessions of a Video Vixen, Ten Years Later. ISBN 978-1940363820. 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. Im not going to lie, Im am so ashamed that I was dying to read this book. Not because I am a fan of Karrine Steffans because I didnt even know who the hell she was when I was told about the book. Embarrissingly enough, I wanted some inside celeb juice. So I read this book (using the word book loosely) to see what it was about. I must first say that if you do not have the creative ability to consider yourself a writer, you shouldnt write. If you dont read books often (im only assumming based of her style of writing) you shouldnt write. She definitely should have had a ghost writer. 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.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. 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!
