About Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter:

Re: All aboard the campaigning (59,233) (59,243) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yes and playing a client would also allow her to play any character she wants and not a mandatory pop diva (unlike Empire, where it would only make sense for her to be a singing sensation). Plus it could be great exposure for Mariah because it is one of the highest rated shows and Mariah in the same scene as Viola Davis would be divine. (Friday 22 January 2016; 10:47)

All aboard the campaigning (59,222) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So shall we all start campaigning "Mariah for Scream Queens" and "Mariah for How To Get Away With Murder" now that we all love the idea? Lord knows this board is read by team Mariah and a lot of our ideas have been used by her team. So Stella, can we get that guest star spot real quick? Before any other major celeb comes on to these shows? I am actually done with "Mariah for Empire", because everyone and their grannies have been featured there in the last season. So I want her to be in something fresh. (Thursday 21 January 2016; 11:34)

Re: B for Balmain (59,190) (59,199) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The problem with the jacket was that it was too short for Mariah. That's why it looked off. It wasn't tight though. Plus yes, this jacket is not my favorite, she should really try out those military jackets or military style short dresses. Those jackets are edgy and longer and would suit her frame so well. I was just celebrating with B because this is the first time Mariah wore a Balmain and we have been campaigning for it for a while now hahah. Mariah's fashion is mostly a little on the bad side unfortunately but sometimes she gets it right. Like the Cavalli number with the yellow flowers on the black/navy (?) material. That looked great on her and accentuated her body shape. (Wednesday 20 January 2016; 11:07)

Re: Empire (59,186) (59,193) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I agree about Gaga's award. I don't think she did anything worthy of getting the Golden Globe. She basically played an exaggerated version of the characters she usually plays for her own videos. She wasn't terrible but she definitely is no match for Jessica Lange. Don't worry though, Jessica is going to come back to AHS. (Tuesday 19 January 2016; 19:31)

Re: Empire (59,185) (59,192) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Chanel's one-liners are epic. I was not a big fan of Emma Roberts, but I love her in "Scream Queens". She is so unapologetic about being b**chy. (Tuesday 19 January 2016; 19:30)

Re: B for Balmain (59,187) (59,191) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I agree, I'd much rather have her stay away from Empire now since they basically drowned the second season with guest stars. Sometimes multiple stars per episode. There will be nothing special for Mariah anymore because so many celebs already did it. Had she appeared in the first season, it would have been great, but right now, I'd rather have her be on "How to get away with murder" or "Scream queens" or something of that nature. (Tuesday 19 January 2016; 19:27)

Re: Empire (59,181) (59,182) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Speaking of AHS, Mariah would also fit in perfectly in "Scream Queens". The show has comedy, mystery and Chanel (Emma Roberts) is the ultimate diva in it haha. Her one-liners are the best. (Tuesday 19 January 2016; 0:29)

That skin no flaw (59,179) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Um what is this? That skin is a vision of perfection. I need the secret behind this, unless it's bathing in virgin's blood at regular intervals (in that case, MC holla at your girl through private messages because we don't want to make that public). (Monday 18 January 2016; 21:23)

Re: Instagram (59,176) (59,177) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter If you are talking about the Martin Luther King quotes, it's because it's Martin Luther King day. Everyone is posting his quotes on social media. (Monday 18 January 2016; 20:33)

B for Balmain (59,175) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So I know I am late for this (for some reason for the last couple of days, I am having problems logging on to this site from my country and I had to use a proxy) but B, did you see we finally got Mariah in a Balmain? Although this was not the type of jacket I was rooting for as it is pretty plain. I wanted her to wear the edgier military jackets like this or this. She chose the safest jacket from Balmain haha. But no seriously, Mariah we need the edgier varieties, the ones Balmain is famous for. (Monday 18 January 2016; 20:04)

Empire (59,174) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I was pretty pumped about Mariah being on "Empire" during the first season, because it was great. If she doesn't guest star in it now, I don't mind, I'd rather have her be on "How To Get Away With Murder". That show is getting better and better with each season. (Monday 18 January 2016; 19:57)

New album (59,104) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Whenever Mariah is ready to drop her new album, I hope she gets all her ducks in a row before announcing it. What went messy from 2012-2014 was she kept uploading pictures every day about her being in the studio and talking about surprises and all, which initially got the lambs fired up but then things started to fizzle when there were multiple delays and we never got to see or hear some of the promised surprises. So I hope that Mariah keeps it hush-hush until she has the album completely ready and her singles picked out. Then she can start dropping hints on her social media just a few days before dropping the first single. No more push backs or delays if something like the album name gets leaked, no more chalking songs up as buzz singles if they under perform (in fact she has to be very careful with her single choice, so get someone young to give an opinion), no more long letter with "on the bathroom floor" moments after someone uploads the wrong track on Facebook. Everything has to be just perfect. Side note, Mariah I hope you are working on that club banger. I need a new song to jam to with my girls, I have abused ILT for almost a decade now.

Re: Andrew possessed by the spirit of a positive lamb? (59,100) (59,103) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Although Mariah's flashy lifestyle never bothers me (I mean the woman worked hard day in and out and earn them green papers so she can spend it, and I'd rather someone who earned it be flashy than the Kardashian-Jenners). But yes, I want her to get her fire back in her musical career. Mariah Carey can rise up over all if only she puts her all in it. I see that happening gradually since last year, but I hope during the next album release she gets everything right. I need just one more TEOM equivalent success to rub it in some people's faces who keep saying that Mariah is past her sell date. Talent wins over everything and Mariah has talent.

Re: Mariah new songs (59,094) (59,097) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Dahlin' don't forget the Morales collaboration that happened during the "Chanteuse" era. I wanna know what happened to that. (Thursday 14 January 2016; 16:57)

Re: Article: Star-studded UNICEF Ball (59,091) (59,096) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Lord yes, the TAOLG cover art is perfection. That hair is gorgeous. That hair and the hair photo I posted along with the "#Beautiful" video hair and GMA hair were similar if not the same and it was kind of her signature hair style for 2013. Like the mermaid curls were her signature for 2005 and the blow outs for 2008. I think she should cut the hair like the TAOLG. It's hot tamale. (Thursday 14 January 2016; 12:54)

Re: Completely unrelated but (59,089) (59,095) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Darren, my prayers and well wishes to you and the beautiful city of Jakarta. Stay safe and hopefully this problem goes away as soon as possible. (Thursday 14 January 2016; 12:51)

Re: Article: Star-studded UNICEF Ball (59,088) (59,090) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter No but the sleek straight is a hit or miss. Sometimes it makes her face look bigger than it really is because straight hair reduces the volume of the hair and since it is lying flat, it makes the face appear bigger. For me I think she should go for her 2013 hair a little shorter and wavy, like the type she had in the "#Beautiful" music video. This is one of my favorite. The hair she had during the GMA performance of #Beautiful is similar and looks great on her. I am absolutely done with the TEOM mermaid curls though. Leave them in 2005. I also love me some blow out hairstyles like this she wore for a magazine shoot. Last but not the least, if she wants curls, the "Hermosa" video curls are the way to go, soft and sexy.

Andrew possessed by the spirit of a positive lamb? (59,085) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Who are you and what have you done to our Andrew? In the name of Butterfly, Charmbracelet and Rainbow, I condemn thee back to Unicorn land. Haha nah just kidding, it's great to see fans like Andrew say positive things about Mariah's improvement because that means that there actually has been a good amount of improvement in her. All aboard the Mariah love train. Looks like we are all ready for the re-emancipation of Mimi. (Wednesday 13 January 2016; 22:46)

Re: The second coming of Mimi (59,076) (59,083) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Darn you Lee TS. I hate your post but everything you said is true. Haha, no I don't hate your post, I just hate the idea about not having new material soon. But you are right, we have been getting "buzz singles" since 2012. Another under performing song and Mariah will suffer a huge blow. So her next "era" needs to be all thought out and planned to perfection. From lead single to packaging, promotion, single plan, album songs, and music videos. (Wednesday 13 January 2016; 19:53)

Re: Hallmark, recent happenings and so on (59,062) (59,070) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Bless you Giovanni, I hope it is true. My body is ready to be slayed by new Mariah music. The way she is shaping up (literally) it seems like she is gearing up for something big. She spent a good chunk of 2015 remedying her damaged reputation, re-establishing the fact that she can still sing and darn well, getting the public somewhat on her side and then came the body transformation where she time traveled back to early 2000s. I have a feeling the second emancipation is coming. (Wednesday 13 January 2016; 11:24)

Re: Another thought (59,061) (59,069) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Marissa, I could not have explained it better. I agree with your post completely. (Wednesday 13 January 2016; 11:21)

Re: Hallmark, recent happenings and so on (59,059) (59,068) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Travon, you can't play with my heart like that, it can only take so much. I have been dying to get new Mariah music. Your post is giving me hope. If it's not a problem, can you please give me a link to the interview where she hinted there might be a new album and also the rumor where they mentioned there will be an euro tour and new album? Not questioning you or your sources, I just need to get life from the article. (Wednesday 13 January 2016; 11:20)

2006 in 2016 (59,067) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter This photo is from tonight? Sorry girl. Bye. Like how can she look like she is aging backwards? She looks exactly like she did in the "Say Something" video here. She looks so 2006 here, I can't even. I would say 2005, but in 2006 she was thinner than 2005 and here she looks exactly like 2006. Also this dress is great. I love it. She looks confident. All those people screaming photoshop at her instagram pics should start eating their words now. (Wednesday 13 January 2016; 9:45)

Another thought (59,056) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter If Adele couldn't break Mariah's record even after the world went crazy for "Hello" and the industry's sweetheart Queen Bey couldn't get a #1 from her uber successful self-titled album, and industry's other sweetheart Taylor Swift couldn't get a long running #1 then really who can stand against Mariah? This woman basically is a music industry powerhouse and yet people try to make it seem like Mariah as a singer and writer has no impact or contribution to the industry. If maintaining the longest running single for over 20 years, having the #1 Christmas song every year (a 21 year old song) and having any new singer who can hit a high note being labelled "the next Mariah" (and no one else mind you, we hardly hear new singers being compared to anyone else) is the definition of an irrelevant career, then boy do I wish to have an irrelevant career. (Tuesday 12 January 2016; 19:10)

One Sweet Day (59,054) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter That record is so impressive, I can't even. I mean 4 months atop the hot 100, come on. It's surprising. I like OSD but it's definitely not one of my favorite MC songs, neither is it my top 5 #1's from MC. The song is sweet, and it gets me emotional sometimes, thinking about a lost loved one, but I have to say it didn't age well as her other songs. I don't even think it's a fan favorite. Of course Boyz II Men's popularity at that time contributed as much to the success as Mariah's. But still it surprises me that this song stayed on #1 for so long because even Whitney and Mariah (2 of the biggest singers) couldn't get close. It's been over 20 years and still no one touched its record. Anyways, just because the song isn't my favorite doesn't mean I don't have a panic attack every time a new song crosses the "10 weeks at #1" mark and I start getting anxious, not relaxing until someone comes to throw them out. Lol too mean? Sorry. (Tuesday 12 January 2016; 11:44)
