“The Follow-up
The Vixen Diaries by Karrine Steffans is the sequel to Confessions of A Video Vixen, where Ms. Steffans discloses numerous famous men she slept with and the lessons learned. This time around Karrine did not do a lot of finger pointing, but switched things around and let the world know that she is not the same person. She wants to make the point that she has matured and grown by leaps and bounds, and has left the “Super Head” title behind. Has she or is she still trying to capitalize on juicy gossip?
Now, she is not saying sorry for spreading her business around however, she enlightens us with quirky anecdotes in regards to how people have dealt with her since her newfound stardom. She tells about powerful icons who are leading double lives and handicapped former artists who have acted out of character. And, how she has bounced back and is now stronger than ever and capable of taking care of herself and her son.
The scenes she describes are so vivid that I can actually picture her walking the red carpet or acting divalicious! My question here is was a sequel really needed? Did she feel that she had to justify her actions by apologizing to the famous people she outed? One thing she did touch on that goes on in everyday life, is if she was a man the things she has done or written about would not be perceived as wrong. But in fact would have made her famous in a positive light.
In a few scenes, she tries to describe her growth and welcomes the riches as opposed to the rags and being homeless. But she still has a long way to go, she does not have anything to prove to me per se, but her life is definitely a work in progress.
I recommend this to sequel lovers, so if you read “Confessions of a Video Vixen” follow it up with part duex!
