Karrine "Superhead" Steffans has just released a tell all book about her days as a video vixen.
Part cautionary tale part memoir, Ms Steffans weaves a tale marked by physical abuse, rape, and drugs -- all before she was twenty-six.
I haven't read this book yet but from what I understand Steffans, is currently a columnist for King magazine, and has also sold the book rights for a movie for 7.3 million.
So basically she slept with a bunch of rappers and did drugs and then sells her story for 7 million dollars. Granted this woman was raped at 13 and I'm willing to bet this sent her on some kind of path toward this kind of behavior. But I don't think women will look at this book as a cautionary tale. In some way I think young women out there are going to look at this book as a guide rather than a cautionary tale.
I don't have anything against this women personally but it seems that she got into the business to become famous and now that mission has been accomplished but at what price? And how is her son going to feel when he grows up and reads how his mom had sex with all these men? Fame is a funny thing, in some ways it can be a contagious virus depending on who you sleep with.
Let me know what you think people? Just cause you sleep with someone famous does that make you famous?

I GOT TWO WORDS FOR YA "Shoshanna Lonstein"
Good one. Seinfeld still with her?
I think it's a shame, but as Alice Walker wrote in the Third Life of Grange Copeland "some [wo]mens in order to live caint be innocent." Which is to say that if she was consumed by this desire to be famous...no price, even her self-worth or cleanliness was too small to pay for that goal. And for another example, I've got two words for ya -- Diana Ross. Lol. The fastest way to fame was on Berry Gordy's couch.
You know, sometimes you CAN judge a book by its cover, and I am going to take a wild guess and theorize that this tome will fall into that category.
Cautionary Tale, indeed...
I've heard her interviews on various stations and I can not get past the feeling that she is promoting a life of being a hoe. She says its to help young woman...but what was the outcome. I slept my way to the top, but you don't do it? Come on now that's not going to help anyone out.
