Lola: Karrine Made It Hard For Video Girls

Melyssa Ford isn’t the only one out there trying to save the image of video girls.
When asked about video girl stereotypes and its most famous perpetuator, Karrine Steffans, Angel Lola Luv didn’t mince words and made it clear that Karrine, her jaw, and those books she’s penned are what give video girls a bad name.
In the video, the video vixen turned femcee branded her selfish and hungry for money – accusing her of making it difficult for other women who try to use videos as a springboard to other career in entertainment.
She’s since elaborated on her comments via a blog entry on Global Grind.
Here’s an excerpt:
“There are a lot of different reasons why I could never ride with the choices that ‘Superhead” made. I feel as though she played a major part in people really believing that all video vixens are just like her. Which is TOTALLY wrong! There is a difference between a ‘Video Vixen/Model’ and a ‘Video Hoe/Groupie.’ From the way they conduct themselves, their mentality and of course their agenda! The perceptions that people have of me and most video models are the total opposite of reality. They see things from the outside. So they have no idea about what goes on behind the scenes with the ones that do this to benefit themselves in a positive way. In order to book me for any gig or video people would get in contact with my manager. I wouldn’t meet these artists until I got on set. While on set I didn’t fraternize with the artists. I would either be shooting or waiting in the trailer until it was my time. As soon as I was done shooting I would leave. If anyone asked for my contact they would either get directed to my manager if she was nearby or I would give them her contact info. If they were really trying to do business then they wouldn’t have a problem getting in contact with her.”
I’m sure some people would argue pot meet kettle, but to be fair, Lola has every right to say not everyone hangs around the video set hoping to slurp their way to stardom.
I am inclined to think that “Superhead” is what the MAJORITY of the “video vixens” are like, but not ALL of them. Lola is now trying to have an actual career outside of the reg. video shoots so of course she is going to speak out… And I aint mad at her! http://iwillblogforsanity.com
This is very interesting. To be honest I don’t know too much about video girls but I assumed that from those Superhead books that they were pretty much groupies and whores. Drake doesn’t help them too much either… even though he says he’s not generalizing for all them in his song.
My friend recommended me a very interesting place *** http://WealthyFinder.com *** It’s where wealthy singles looking for someone to enjoy their wealthy lifestyle with.
Why is it when white women do it they are models, but when black women do it they are video hoe’s they are not some of them are working to survive are put themself through school, and we as people need to stop talking about them young women and try and help each other because we need to see more beautiful black women and for the artist that try to talk bad about them maybe if we stop buying their music they will chance their attitude about them young women.
well i think that rappers see that she is a “hoe.” and would do everything so they use her and she has made it hard for the otha video models !! so qet rid of “SUPERHEAd.!!”
Angel sure didn’t make anything better by stating that Superhead is giving VIDEO girls a bad name, coming from a girl that has breast augmentation and buttock injections. NOW all females feel like to be that video girl AND OR be in the entertainment business needs to get whatever “it takes” to be in it. Angel Lola Luv didn’t make a good speech on that .
It will take a lot of time and hard work to change the negative mine set of people
who look at video women as bad girls to good girls. And, there is no better place nor time to correct this type issue but in the present. So, good luck with your plan if you have one. Remember commitment is the key.
THEY ALL SHOULD THINK EDUCATION BEFORE BEING IN THE VOCATION OF VIDEO TRASH. THEY ALL WANT TO BE KEPT AND NOT HAVE TO DO ANTHING BUT PLEASE A MAN. THESE YOUNG GIRLS DON’T UNDERSTAND WHAT REALLY IS GOIN ON. THANKS,OLD SCHOOL CUTIE WHO KNOW THE GAME. BOOK SMARTS AND STREET SMARTS MAKE IT IN TODAY’ S WORLD.
I hope that some are paying their way throught school. But that still sounds like a cliche’. If your 18 thru lets say 24 then be a video model but when you start to get older you should really be thinking about a new career.
Speaking of the bet awards tonight. They were the worst i have ever seen, or should i say the part i watched of it.. Really i thought it would the best ever, due to giving tribute to Michael, but NO i had to turn it off due to all the cursing, which was blanked out, who want’s to watch a show that constantly goes silent to keep the cussing off the air. I’m sure there were many kids that wanted to watch it especially the Michael tributes. I really hope their parents explained to them the reason they had to change the channel or turn the TV off. Last – why do people have to curse to get attention, i don’t get it.
