One Mother's Battle with a Video Vixen!

This month marks a year since, Harper Collins released Confessions of a Video Vixen. The much talked about book revealed the memoirs of video star Karrine Steffans.After much legal banter, the book was released and it set the entire hip-hop and literary world a buzz. The Author provided vivid images of her experiences as she ascended to "stardom" earning the nickname "Super- head."

Hearing about this woman and her legacy I could not help but be captivated. Not in the Ugly Bettysense, but in the way that we women secretly "envy these type" of women. We don't necessarily want to be them, we just want to learn their secrets of manipulation and control over men....especifically the powerful men to get what they want. Wesecretly crave their POWER while trying to balance that good girl role.

During publicity campaigns for the book we learned how she earned her place in Hip-Hop Culture using her "cranium" and/or their "heads" to navigate her way up the ladder. Providing a list of industry "playas" Ms. Steffans showed how she "negotiated." The extensive list reads like who's who of "business associates." She culminated deals with...Fred Durst, Vin Diesel, Shaquille O'Neal, Sean (P. Diddy) Combs, Irv Gotti and surprisingly...Bobby Brown (husband of Whitney Houston). What a dizzying array of power, prestige, money and men.
