Confessions of a Video Vixen
Karrine Steffans, is the once
sought-after sexy siren who appeared in the music
videos of multi-platinum hip-hop artists such
as Jay-Z, R. Kelly, and LL Cool J. A top-paid
video dancer, Steffans transitioned to film when
acclaimed director F. Gary Gray picked her to
co-star in his film A Man Apart, starring
Vin Diesel. But the movie and music video sets,
swanky Miami and New York restaurants, and trysts
with the celebrities featured in the pages of People and In
Touch magazines only skims the surface of
Steffans' life.
In her best-selling autobiography, Confessions
of a Video Vixen, Steffans goes beyond
the glamour of celebrity to reveal the inner
workings of the hip hop dancer industry. This
memoir—part tell-all, part cautionary
tale—shows how Steffans came to be the
confidante of so many, why she kept their secrets,
and how she found herself in Hollywood after
a life marked by physical and emotional abuse,
rape and drugs—all before she was twenty-six—that’s
rampant in the industry. By sharing her emotionally
charged story, she hopes to shed light on an
otherwise romanticized industry.
