Synopsis

Part tell-all, part cautionary tale, this emotionally charged memoir from a former video vixen nicknamed 'Superhead' goes beyond the glamour of celebrity to reveal the inner workings of the hip-hop dancer industry—from the physical and emotional abuse that's rampant in the industry, and which marked her own life—to the excessive use of drugs, sex and bling.Once the sought-after video girl, this sexy siren has helped multi-platinum artists, such as Jay-Z, R. Kelly and LL Cool J, sell millions of albums with her sensual dancing. In a word, Karrine was H-O-T. So hot that she made as much as $2500 a day in videos and was selected by well-known film director F. Gary Gray to co-star in his film, A Man Apart, starring Vin Diesel. But the film and music video sets, swanky Hollywood and New York restaurants and trysts with the celebrities featured in the pages of People and In Touch magazines only touches the surface of Karrine Steffans' life.Her journey is filled with physical abuse, rape, drug and alcohol abuse, homelessness and single motherhood—all by the age of 26. By sharing her story, Steffans hopes to shed light on an otherwise romanticised industry and help young women avoid the same pitfalls she encountered. If they're already in danger, she hopes to inspire them to find a way to dig themselves out of what she knows first-hand to be a cycle of hopelessness and despair.

The story about Karrine Steffans is really sad.I was feeling sorry for her in her teens years and when she was married to G but after that I think she was pathetic.I thought after reading her book I would find out she's changed but she hasn't at all.She's still sexing rappers up.I would only recommend this book if you like gossip.There's no message to young girls in this book.She's only talking about who she had sex with.I really feel sorry for her little boy to have a hoe for a mother.She actually had the nerve to say she hopes he understands when he's older.Please!She actually said in the book she still has relations with rappers.Her website has videos proving.I just think she's pathetic.
