Summary
Theses next pages are based on how Karrine and Ja Rules's Relationship begins. Throught theses pages she feels she has a REAL family now because she is excepted into the business, Murder Inc.,, as Ja's crazy girl. She is very happy to be excepted but still inside she's baffaling around with emotions; she also barely home with her son, he's with her sitter. With Ja Rule she felt she built a good realtionship becsaue they were always together; most of the time sexully active. Due to their physical love she earned the nickname "SUPERHEAD". It was suppose to be between her and Rule, but it wasn't as it seemed. Karrine still held onto Ice-T, who aided her spending habbits, even though they didn't spend much time together. She also encounterd the freindship on a low level with Fred Dust, Who she talked to during the time after she met Ja Rule. They kicked it off even though it was within the business. Along the way Karrine was attending every cool party meeting new people. The legendary men that she involves herself with are very generous with their money, if not their time. Karrine became the girl all women that were involved with video business hated. She did, and wore things that no other female would do/wear, to grab the limelight. She grew off of attention and money. Through the years Karrine becomes involved with Shaquille O'Neal, who she doesn't really encounter any feelings for just uses him for his money in order to do things that benefit her more. Actor Vin Diesel who she is her co-star actor in a movie where they become sexually active behind the scene becasue their director wouldn't contridict to that kind of action .Jay Z didn't really have any typew of impact on her just another ATM. Ray J became her first true love even though his parents didn't like the idea becasue she was much older than him; at first they seen each other often, but then his work started to take off and that sent her clinging for more attention elsewhere. On Ray J's return, he came to find out that she was sleeping with lots of other menso their relationship ended. Irv Gotti was one of the dudes that stuck by her side and had her back when people (women) tried to get her eliminated from video shoots and so on; only under the condition of her performing oral sex. Also other men like DMX, Usher, P.Diddy and many others. Karrine's life begins to escalate out of control as she straddles the line between a legitimate actress in a Vin Diesel movie to a woman who sells her body to the highest bidder in order to stay afloat. Soon there's a big turn around in her life when the people she considered friends and familly weren't there to help her anymore. Calls after calls were either ignored or ended up with her listening to the dialing tone. Living out of a car with your own kin isn't and wasn't the life she wanted; she resorted back to stripping. It only took one pill to make her realize she needed to change her life ALL AROUND. Confessions of A Video Vixen is a cautionary tale, filled with sadness and tragedy, despair and triumph." DON'T WANNA GIVE AWAY THE GOOD ENDING!! =)

"I welcomed back Karrine Steffans" (pg 176, Steffans)
Reaction:
This book opened my eyes to the saying that people can change. Theses three qutoes are three climaxes of their own because they show how she slowly began to realize her life was deteriating and needed a big turn around; for the sake of her son. She usually had someone to fall back on, but no things start to change, they only used her for one thing and one thing only. Once Karrine cired alone w/ no type of symapthy not even from her father, her eyes began to open and she sees the one person she has to live for, her son. She lets go of her alter ego Yizette Santiago and welcomes back KARRINE STEFFANS.
