Glass vases filled with marbles crashed all around us as
he began tossing linens from the bed. As the marbles
scattered, we laughed in unison ... I remember the exact
moment that I first laid on my back for him ... My legs
were wrapped around his waist and just before his body was
to merge with mine, I noticed his upper right chest. On it
was a tattoo with the words "Pain is Love."
Confessions of a Video Vixen is the widely
anticipated memoir of Karrine Steffans, the once sought-
after sexy siren who appeared in the music videos of
multiplatinum hip-hop artists such as Jay-Z, R. Kelly, and
LL Cool J. A top-paid video dancer, Karrine transitioned to
film when acclaimed director F. Gary Gray picked her to
costar 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 Karrine's life. This memoir -- part tell all, part cautionary tale -- shows
how Karrinne 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 abuse, rape, and drugs --
all before she was twenty-six. By sharing her emotionally
charged story, she hopes to shed light on an otherwise
romanticized industry.
