Read an Interview With Karrine about The Vixen Diaries

    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.

Vivid Entertainment To Release 'Superhead' Porn Film
Monday - April 10, 2006

Porn giant Vivid Entertainment is gearing up to release a new adult film that features Karrine Steffans -- known by the hip-hop world as "Superhead" -- who dropped a tell-all book called Confessions Of A Video Vixen, where she exposes her experiences as a music video model.

The forthcoming adult film, appropriately titled "Superhead," features the video vixen alongside adult film star, Mr. Marcus, in her one and only scene in the porn industry.

"She wrote [Confessions Of A Video Vixen] to expose on Jay-Z, Ja Rule, P Diddy and all these other guys in hip-hop, and now we can see her just before she joined those guys," Howard Levine, national sales manager of Vivid, told AVN.com. "Before she blew the lid off the hip-hop world, she blew Mr. Marcus."

Mr. Marcus narrates the intro to the video and also serves as Steffan's co-star, who she performs her legendary oral skills on. Marcus remembers the video model's attributes quite well.

"The thing that stood about her was that she gave incredible head," he told AVN.com. "She created something off that one act that people are still talking about today."
