Wednesday Roundup

Although this is a matter probably better left alone, I'd like to offer my take on Karrine Steffans and her latest book and her reactions to certain questions during her interviews. It seems that Ms Steffans gets defensive when asked about her past experiences with the artists she's mentioned in her books. I find it quite ironc that she would take such a stance when she has already put the information out there. Don't get me wrong, I believe anyone can do whatever they believe is necessary to make their life better, and I believe to a certain degree Ms Steffans has done that. I just believe by the same token, when she writes about encounters with artists Ms Steffans needs to be prepared to deal with the fall out. Just a thought.
