About Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter:

Re: Mariah's world (spoiler alert?) (71,442) (71,445) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter My bet is on Mariah and Stella. This meme should be made with Stella's face. (Thursday 19 January 2017; 10:30)

Re: Mimi L (71,425) (71,427) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Oh wow. Thanks Eric. Do you know where this picture is from? As in which year? (Wednesday 18 January 2017; 17:24)

Re: MW Ep 6 - Hero (71,415) (71,424) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I'm glad that I'm not the only one that thinks the plot lines lead to no where and it's just a few scenes messily put together to cover a 40 minute time frame. Instead of the main parts featuring Mariah, they are usually given to Molly, Stella, Bryan and Mishka. We really don't see much of "putting together the show" and "behind the scenes" moments that were promised. I'm thinking maybe, just maybe they'll release a SSFT DVD that's why they don't show much of the footage of the actual concert, but I don't know, that's really no excuse. MW will apparently be released on DVD soon. All we get is is scripted drama and that too stuff that don't make sense and paint Mariah in an unflattering light. (Wednesday 18 January 2017; 17:08)

Re: Mimi L (71,414) (71,423) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Hey G.G., I actually never saw this photo before either and I suddenly found it online, it was low quality but the picture was so beautiful, I decided to use it. It might also just be a fan edit not sure, but here is the link. (Wednesday 18 January 2017; 17:02)

Re: MW Ep 6 - Hero (71,412) (71,413) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha Lord knows what they will show in the last episode that they keep telling us to watch. Like literally nothing substantial happens in the episodes so far so what exactly are we supposed to watch? They make it sound like a mystery show. (Wednesday 18 January 2017; 15:07)

Re: MW Ep 6 - Hero (71,404) (71,406) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ya I saw that one and got the same feeling that he wanted to say something about Stella but because of legal issues he had to Lee quiet. Stella was out there dancing with her daughter (as seen on her insta) instead of doing her job. Also it must really piss Anthony off that the stories about him getting fired were coming from Mariah's team (which is basically Stella). What a slap in the face. Stella will blame everyone and their mothers for her disasters but will never admit her own fault and incompetence. Pathetic leech, that entire family. (Wednesday 18 January 2017; 1:37)

Re: 1991 photoshoot (71,391) (71,401) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Hey. Well I can't seem to track down high-resolution versions of these pictures, but they are from her 1991 shoot with Diego Uchitel. Don't know if that helps. . (Tuesday 17 January 2017; 20:21)

Re: MW Ep 6 - Hero (71,384) (71,388) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter They actually have a very good idea about who they are managing, because they know that leeching on to someone like Mariah would give them access to a lot of things that they would otherwise not be able to get. So yes they know they have a gold mine on their hands, the only thing is they don't really care about working to get her signed to things of her status and things that would strengthen her brand and instead they are doing things that they hope will ultimately get them fame. Stella clearly wants to be (and fails) the next Kris Jenner. If Mariah really wanted to go down that route, she might as well have just hired Kris because Kris knows how to get work done. Stella is just a big mouth who just talks but ultimately does nothing. I was appalled by the way Mishka kept talking back to Mariah and Mariah allowing that. She wasn't even letting Mariah finish and kept going on and on about how there's nothing wrong with what she did. Like girl 12 or not, you are an "employee" and that's not how you talk to your boss and go through your boss's lingerie and then sling your boss's underwear at her. The more we see of this family, the more unlikable they turn out to be. Also it's sad to see it come down to Mariah just accepting things because people said "her ass looked great" or because "her ass picture went viral". (Tuesday 17 January 2017; 16:05)

Mariah in studio (71,382) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah is in the studio with Travis Scott and DJ Khaled, possibly working on a new song. This may also be the remix for the song L.A. is rushing to release, so we'll have to wait and see. (Tuesday 17 January 2017; 13:18)

Re: Elle recap (71,373) (71,381) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha, thanks for posting this. Exactly my thoughts. The person writing it is hilarious. I can't deal with the crap they have put on MW. Do they have recaps from all the episodes? I'll check those out (as if living through the actual episodes weren't torture enough). But these are hilarious so I'll have to check the previous ones. (Tuesday 17 January 2017; 13:16)

Drama-naka (71,368) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter First of all, I still don't buy it's a real relationship and I'm waiting to see exactly when this drama stops. Like do they have a plan that they'll carry on this "stunt", that no one is buying, until so and so date and then move on? Anyways on the flip side, let's assume it's real, what exactly does Mariah think will happen? They got into a "relationship" while this guy was dating another girl and then he quickly dumped her and started "dating" MC (all throughout the series he says he is single), and then after MC's NYE disaster his ex-girlfriend posted something on social media about "karma". So does Mariah think he'll be loyal to her? Also Mariah knows how it didn't work out for her to date someone who is younger and less financially successful than her. Nick talked about how her entourage would put it in her mind that he's using her for money and all and he's cheating. This young is not only younger than Nick, he doesn't even have a steady job. In fact now it seems like he has given up everything and just is a permanent member of Mariah's entourage following her around. So what signal does that give? Would she really want Roc to grow up thinking Tanaka's lifestyle is the way to go? I don't get how she'd think if didn't work with Nick, who at least had a lot of business and worked hard to get his money, then how will it work with this basically paid employee. They're not equals in a relationship. (Tuesday 17 January 2017; 1:19)

Re: Article: Russian billionaire spends £2.5million hiring Mariah Carey (71,360) (71,367) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ya the wedding singing is very common even among A list celebrities, they get a lot of money from it. I don't think Mariah takes it up as a big step down. In fact this is better than the reality show and all the random stuff she did (Match.com, GOW, vodka) because here she is actually using her talent, that is singing and not doing random crap. Don't get me wrong I don't classify the perfumes and MAC collaborations as "random" in fact I love it and it goes with her brand of "glam and beauty" but "Match.com" and "GOW" (which was abandoned) and all the random crap Stella got her into was a mess. (Tuesday 17 January 2017; 1:13)

Re: MW episode 6 : Mimi L review (71,347) (71,352) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yes, these behavior would have been fine if she was single. But she was supposed to be engaged to the fan she was apparently in love with. Yet she's out their bumping and grinding with this back up dancer. I wonder what her reaction would have been if she saw James was messing around with his secretary or employees. It's a shame that she thinks showing these are doing her any favors. Also it looks like Mariah really had no intention of marrying James because Roc and Roe didn't know Mariah was getting ready to get married when she was trying on the dress. Like shouldn't the kids be eased into such a change? It looks like Mariah liked the "idea" of being with a billionaire who was smitten with her, but when things got too real she wasn't ready to face the reality yet she didn't leave him. If rumors are true that James had Tanaka banned from Caesar's palace, I'm happy that he did it. I can't even blame Tanaka really because for all we know, this is his job and he's getting paid for it. My question is what happened to Mariah's judgement? What happened to the woman who once said she doesn't need to sell sex to be successful while dissing someone who does it (supposedly Madonna, not sure), what happened to the woman who said she won't ever resort to fake relationships while dissing Kim K's wedding to Kris Humphries. What happened to the woman who would be caring for her voice and tell us about all the tips she picked up from other legends like Luther Vandross and all about humidifiers, honey tea, throat lozenges. Now it looks like she has once again forgotten about her God given gift and instead is doing everything she once said she won't. It's sad. The show might be over in 2 episodes, but the people influencing such behavior will still be around. (Monday 16 January 2017; 17:58)

Re: MW: This is not an exaggeration (71,346) (71,351) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I honestly don't know how James is in real life but in the show, whatever little we saw of him, he seemed sweet and smitten by Mariah, the way he looked at her. I was also surprised that he is actually good looking on video. I think the relationship with James was a little "too adult" for Mariah if you know what I mean? Mariah is by self admission, eternally 12 and so anything that becomes "too adult" seems to be too much. Also James crossed Stella, and no one that crosses Stella can stay in her life. Did you notice how she dealt with Mishka? She doesn't need to yell or whatever but she could have been stern about the fact that Mishka can't do whatever she wants. She could have put a stop on it, but instead she fell into the "Mariah your ass looked great, your legs looked long" trap and so that conversation was over. This is something I feel Stella does too. I've seen Anthony, although he praises her too is always very blunt with Mariah that's something that her employees need to do. (Monday 16 January 2017; 17:49)

Re: The missing chanteuse (food for thought) (71,334) (71,341) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I don't think it was her last album, why would she sign a new deal with Epic if she didn't want to release new albums? At least she wanted it when she signed it, don't know where her mind is at now. Because she is taking up so many gigs, it's hard to fit in studio time in the middle. But I don't think when she recorded MIAM, she thought it'd be her last album. In fact after that she has said she is working on her new album and said that she'll take her time with it to perfect it. (Monday 16 January 2017; 12:23)

Re: MW episode 6 : Mimi L review (71,331) (71,340) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter If I was James, I'd be sitting and cringing throughout the show. It really doesn't portray Mariah in the best light either, no matter how aloof you play (as in she doesn't understand what's going on with Tanaka and other stuff), no one is stupid enough to buy it. The show is a joke. The only good thing about this episode was we got a good footage of her singing "Hero". I like "Hero" but I'll be honest, I hardly ever reach out and play it on the regular, but in a live setting it does give you goose bumps and it's a strong song. So yes that's the only good thing. The scenes about Mishka were just ugh. Stella trying to bring her to the limelight, never going to happen dahlin'. (Monday 16 January 2017; 12:17)

Re: MW episode 6 : Mimi L review (71,333) (71,338) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha I wish I did exaggerate but nope. Apparently Mr. Tanaka lost his luggage and so he had just 1 set of clothes. (Ok so side note, I've never been on a private jet but shouldn't your luggage also be on it or does it come separately? I don't get how it got lost.) More cringe worthy than buying him dresses was her feeling the need to sit on his lap while he holds her waist to "fix his hair" which needed no fixing. About Anthony, you'll see he's pretty straight forward with Mariah, he'll tell her stuff as it is, whether she likes it or not and that's professionalism. Because ultimately those things helped Mariah's performances. Stella on the other hand is all about "you're great, you're beautiful, they're haters, they're jealous". (Monday 16 January 2017; 12:14)

MW episode 6 : Mimi L review (71,325) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter 1) So you all remember this picture? So Anthony comes to MC and asks her if she knows this image is on her instagram. Mariah says "no" and Anthony is like he doesn't even know they were taking pictures. Mariah says she wouldn't have posted it if it was her. Kris asks what's wrong with it? And Mariah says that Anthony is worried James might now like these to be on social media and Mariah says well James is not always checking out her instagram as he's busy making billions of dollars. Well just because someone is busy making billions doesn't mean that automatically makes these ok M, how would you feel if it was the other way around? Stop defending the Bulochnikovs please. Anyways Anthony says he thinks Mariah should definitely approve what goes on her social media. Anthony is the best thing on the show. 2) Drama-naka is back selling his pity story about feeling bad about his leg. Another dancer cracked his ankle. 3) So Mariah on the plane, suddenly decides she wants to fix Bryan's hair. Side note: his hair was perfectly fine to begin with. Anyways so she gets on his lap to fix his hair while he's holding her by the waste and everyone is like what on Earth? Back at the hotel Stella teases Mariah about Tanaka crushing on her and Mariah acts like she doesn't know what Stella is talking about, all the while she has this huge smile on her face and acting like a pre-teen who found out the cute guy at school has a crush on her. 4) Mishka is going through Mariah's lingerie and she asks Mariah why she doesn't wear these? Mariah asks how does she know if she wears it or not? Mishka says she thinks M should wear it out for public outings like lunch/dinner. Apparently it's also fit for breakfast outings. Girl. Now we know who put the "bra out" era into motion. 5) Mariah tells Mishka she wants to talk about that scandalous photo she posted and tells her she's not mad but she wants to see pictures before they go up. Mishka keeps arguing that there is nothing wrong with it because Mariah looks great in it and her ass looks in great shape and it's a great photo so she doesn't understand why Mariah would want to keep it to herself and not share it. Mariah says everyone is having a drama fit over it, Mishka still keeps arguing there is nothing wrong with it and that it's a great photo and keeps buttering Mariah up, that works pretty well on Mariah and so Mariah doesn't say anything more. 6) Tanaka is out and about in Paris with Mariah and her entourage and he's in a robe. She's buying clothes for Tanaka and fixing his dress. "Mariah is a tough woman that I see myself with" - Drama-naka. Go home boy. He also does not look happy seeing Mariah in that wedding dress 7) Mariah and Monroe both look gorgeous in the wedding ensembles. The dress is so gorgeous, I can't get over it. 8) Stella comes yelling at Anthony because the ass picture has gone "viral" and that's a good thing so Anthony has to go tell Mariah that. Stella thinks Anthony shouldn't question her judgement and that since Time magazine did an article (25 reasons why Mariah's insta is better than yours), so that means Mishka is doing a great job. Mariah also agrees with Stella and asks Anthony why is he always messing with other people's kids and that she was right to hire Mishka? (Playfully.) I'm here thinking like it's fine because it went viral? M is this for real? Is this what it has come down to? 9) It's Stella's birthday, James is here too. 10) Prince death news. Stella says they have a show to start but at the moment Mariah can't stop crying. Mariah comes on stage, talks about Prince and holds a moment of silence for him. 11) Vodka launch party. James actually looks a lot better on video. He seems sweet too, Mariah thanks him for coming to the show and says she's sorry she was such a mess on the show because of Prince's death. James assures her she wasn't and that she was fabulous and blew everyone away. She then says she wanted to dedicate "Hero" to him but thought it was appropriate to do it for Prince. James says "You did it for me before, darling you never have to do it for me again." Mariah then tells him he's a great person and that no one ever tells him that enough but he's a f**king great person haha. Drama-naka is out there throwing sad looks. 12) I can't with these people using "Camouflage" for Bryan two episodes in a row. Haha, "Camouflage" plays when Bryan is crying or upset about Mariah. Some next level soap opera shit right there. RibbonB I'm dedicating "Camouflage" to you. (Monday 16 January 2017; 7:40)

Re: Mimi L (71,310) (71,321) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Hey Licia, so I never saw this picture of her either and it might even be an edit, I'm not sure, but I found it on instagram and thought she looked so pretty and I loved the hairstyle. Here is the picture. (Monday 16 January 2017; 6:28)

Re: Tragic (71,299) (71,305) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter What do you mean? The fact that she's performing at a wedding? I don't think that's necessarily bad, a lot of A-list celebs do that, plus this girl is Antonio Banderas's daughter. Or do you mean she should actually be on rest instead of over working herself? In that case I agree, she really needs to take some time off to rest. Or are you talking about her voice here? Those were definitely some bad vocal moments, especially "My All". I hope she is not ignoring her instrument. Her voice is a gift and she seems to have forgotten how she once talked about losing it because of smoking and how she prayed and prayed to get it back promising she'll give up smoking and then she got it back. (Sunday 15 January 2017; 23:59)

Re: Mariah's World (71,296) (71,304) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Liron is just sucking up to Stella so that she can stay in Mariah's Squad. She knows she needs to be in Stella's good graces to be allowed near Mariah. (Sunday 15 January 2017; 23:53)

New pics (71,284) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah in London, where she apparently performed at a wedding/private event where Elton John and Antonio Banderas were also present. She looks great in this black dress. Here's another photo of the dress. Her boy toy was also there loving every bit of the attention. (Sunday 15 January 2017; 11:06)

Re: Nonsense (71,274) (71,279) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I also don't understand what exactly they think is coming out of this "affair" story line. Mind you at the beginning they started with how Tanaka is the one crushing then slowly it has turned to "both parties are interested" scenario with even Mariah hinting at it on the show. I don't get how she thinks a possible cheating story line can help her image. If she is trying to play the "James was never there" card, it won't work, because you could have called off the engagement but you didn't instead James called it off. So there is no way she is coming out of this looking good. I don't get how she even approved of this. Nothing really adds up anymore. It's like they do stuff on a whim and then just get on with the flow whether it makes sense or not. MW, to me, is a huge disappointment. It had the potential to really turn things around for Mariah, instead we get this messy, scripted, drama with scenes that look like they have been copy pasted as a montage. (Sunday 15 January 2017; 2:23)

Re: Mariah in London (71,262) (71,270) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ribbon B, I can't with your hawk eye. You miss absolutely no detail. The possibility of a re-shot finale is just frustrating. It's evident from the show that a lot of the scenes are re-shot. And yet it's a docu-series, not a reality show. (Saturday 14 January 2017; 23:48)
