About Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter:

Re: Mariah's impact (70,427) (70,435) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yes, like Eric mentioned, he got upset when he didn't hear from her team but in Mariah's defense she doesn't owe him anything. It can be seen from the scene (and either I'm imagining it or the guy said it himself) that she didn't just grab the pendant right away. She was trying to decline it but he insisted and she probably took it to make him happy. Now that doesn't obviously entitle him or anyone to anything. He made a choice of giving the gift to her. But regardless, skipping the nasty situation that it later turned into, I'm focusing on what most Mariah fans can relate to and that's the fact that her lyrics and music has touched us all and has helped us cope with stuff in life. That's one thing every Mariah fan probably has in common regardless of what they think of her current choices. That's one thing that will always make me respect her and give her the adoration she deserves. (Thursday 29 December 2016; 23:18)

Re: Baby (70,415) (70,421) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Butterfly was Mariah's overall beauty peak. I mean don't get me wrong, she still remains one of the most beautiful and gorgeous woman alive, but there was something about 1997 (whether it was her newfound freedom and confidence or something else, I don't know) but she was so ethereally beautiful, it was almost too good to handle. She was sensual and sexy without it being too harsh and in your face. Her make up and that amazing honey blonde-brown hair. She somehow managed to look sexy, innocent and classy all at the same time.

Mariah's impact (70,414) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Am I wrong or was the fan from this sneak peak of MW on this board a while back? Anyways the scene got me emotional and I can relate (not to the English learning thing because we learn it here either ways) because Mariah's music is just powerful it really speaks to your soul and helps you in many ways. I'm sure all of us here can relate. Things like these make me love her even more. She is just so talented not only vocally but as a writer and an artist, this is why I get a little annoyed when I see what her image has become now because I respect her artistry so much I feel some of her recent moves have cheapened her image somewhat. She was such a mysterious, brilliant artist. The talent is still there undoubtedly and I just pray her team gets more professional. Honestly Mariah is one of the last living legends, she should be presented as the music royalty that she is, not a reality show newbie, and not the over exposed (both clothes wise and her being seen everywhere nowadays) persona. I hope to see more fan interactions in MW, people should see how this woman has touched the lives of so many people around the world, even places she has never been to.

Re: Leave Mariah alone (70,409) (70,413) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah seems to enjoy the dysfunctional mess that the Bulochnikovs bring with them. Stella will never demand holidays or days off because (a) that means she'll have to pay her way through those days and miss out on Mariah's lifestyle (b) why would she need a day off or take time off for holidays when she is always bringing her whole entire family (extended family and friends, yes friends as well) to these elaborate vacations with Mariah on Mariah's dime. I don't understand why Mariah would allow her to bring all these people. I get the fear of being alone may drive Mariah to surround herself with people but really she is never alone because she has her kids and her real family as in Patricia and Shawn. Why not take some time off and hang out with just them? Of course that poses the potential threat of Mariah realizing she doesn't need the Bulochnikovs to be happy and Crustella will not be down with that. (Thursday 29 December 2016; 12:04)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey and Bryan Tanaka are heating up (70,410) (70,411) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Hahah dead. Straight to the point, I just can't. (Thursday 29 December 2016; 11:55)

Little sister Mimi (70,319) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha I'm laughing at Mishka calling Mariah her little sister in this post. Technically she's right since Mishka is now 13 while Mimi is eternally 12. (Monday 26 December 2016; 15:21)

New website (70,262) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Can someone please explain to me why Mariah has this new "life and style" type website now? I'm so sick of seeing stupid links on her Facebook page from her website about weird baby gifts, stuff to avoid talking about during the holidays and what not. It's all so cheap and doesn't go with her brand. Are they on a mission to involve her brand with everything she doesn't match with and then cheapen it some more? I just don't get it. Yes she needed her website to be more active and up to date but what's with these stupid posts? (Saturday 24 December 2016; 6:49)

Funny or Die videos (70,239) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter This video of Mariah reading a Christmas story to kids is hilarious. Loved it. Here's the Katie Couric interview sketch. This is another video, it's a sketch about Mariah judging a Santa audition. This video is kinda a continuation of the last one. Another sketch from the Funny or Die series from last year. This is the "Cooking with Mariah" sketch in case you missed it last year. Oh I forgot to add this video in my last post. (Friday 23 December 2016; 20:16)

Re: What the fudge (70,150) (70,164) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter That's her Aspen tradition. There will be one more of her in a bikini in a hot tub in the middle of the snow. Side note: funny thing is now Mishka writes "Aspen Tradition" in her insta post, like girl you've just been going to Aspen since last year, calm it down. (Wednesday 21 December 2016; 11:11)

Re: Mimi L (70,134) (70,139) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Of course Stella and Co would think that people who call things out for what it is are goats. Because they themselves would never do it in fear of losing the ability to enjoy MC's lifestyle and money. If Stella was less of a leech and more of a competent manager she could actually use her stalking skills to get a lot of great ideas for Mariah's career. Some fans here and on UKMix have a lot of ideas that would have helped Mariah but nope, she won't let any outsiders get any credit, keep it all in the family. Anyways thanks for the info Giselle, good to know that we are such a popular board. (Tuesday 20 December 2016; 14:51)

Re: Mariah's World / WWHL (70,128) (70,131) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Can you elaborate on the whole "they read MCA" part please? I'm interested because I had a feeling for a long time that they do, and they might even be posting here. I got the feeling they read this board because some of the stuff Stella did were suggested on this board, of course Stella would never credit us for the ideas. Anyways I wanted to know how the topic came about and what Stella and her Co leeches said about us. (Tuesday 20 December 2016; 10:35)

Re: Stella fired Danielle Priano again (70,129) (70,130) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Unfortunately Stella doesn't give too hoots about what Mariah's fans think. Remember this is the same woman who has disrespected her fans many times on social media and went on about how they can't even afford her shoes. Mariah's hair is the least important thing right now (and no don't get me wrong, I know exactly what your point is and I agree with you), what I'm more concerned about is Mariah's image. It has been a hot mess. She has gone from classy to trashy. No matter how much we protest, Stella doesn't let Mariah see the real truth, only the rose colored ones. (If you need a visual of what goes on, go and check the scene where Mariah is getting booed and Stella goes "no they're not booing".) Also there's a point where we gotta stop 100% blaming Stella and shift some on Mariah. Why will Mariah allow this crap? I mean sure Stella's the manager but Mariah's the boss, if she wants Priano then who on earth is Stella to remove her? The fact that Mariah gives so much power to Stella is Mariah's shortcoming and obviously leeches will suck blood. But Mariah should have stepped in and just shut the crap down. I don't know why Mariah doesn't see through Stella's fake "empower women" crap, when clearly Stella can't stand another woman unless they bow down to her and Danielle isn't one to bow down. I hope when Danielle finally comes back, it's after Stella gets fired, out of respect for Danielle. If Mariah keeps getting swayed by the opinions of a woman who couldn't get her tour right, her promotions right, her image right then I really don't see how anyone can help her. (Tuesday 20 December 2016; 10:29)

Re: The Mariah - Stella relationship (70,109) (70,115) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Leave it to Mariah to clean house by throwing out old leeches then bringing in a fresh batch of new leeches to replace them. (Monday 19 December 2016; 23:02)

Re: MW episode 3 : Mimi L review (70,110) (70,113) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Seriously though who are they married to? Brett? Haha, Stella is such a creep. Sometimes she even looks at Mariah like a creep. (Monday 19 December 2016; 22:31)

Re: Power Le : Mimi L review (70,101) (70,106) (70,112) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter To paraphrase Stella (mainly to edit out the curse words) "Lose my number, you're a dummy. Mariah's on fire." (Monday 19 December 2016; 22:30)

Article: Mariah Carey is a hands-on boss (70,111) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter "Despite Bryan asking Mariah if she remembered him in the first episode, Bryan says that Mariah has been one of the most supportive people in his career. He also makes a point to detail just how single he is and how much fun he's having on his own - he's ready, though, to settle down with one woman." This show is so full of inaccuracies, that too in the same episode, I wonder who the heck actually approved it. They keep contradicting themselves on the show. Also Bryan continuously talking about wanting some alone time with Mariah, even if he has to "steal her away" is just plain disturbing and weird. I mean first of all Bryan, that's your boss, why are you so interested in getting alone time with her? Second, no one cares about your relationship status, although if I'm not mistaken he was in a relationship around the time the tour started and I know this because I saw a picture on insta and I was wondering what his girlfriend thinks about this. (Ok don't quote me on this though, I could be wrong.) Also the fact that they have had this story line seed planted from the very first episode just makes me cringe even more, like Mariah, girl, what went wrong? Side note, adults sending a 12 year old to a boy's locker room to ask him to come out of a cake naked is so inappropriate. (Monday 19 December 2016; 22:23)

Re: MW episode 3 : Mimi L review (70,093) (70,101) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ya wait until at the end of the series it's revealed that after several heartbreaks from dudes Mariah is now dating Stella. I'm calling it right now hahaha. Also how annoying was it that Stella had the nerves to go off on Danielle and tell her she's outta line when Stella was the one continuously flipping her middle finger and using the F word on Danielle? (Monday 19 December 2016; 21:10)

Re: MW episode 3 : Mimi L review (70,087) (70,092) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter After watching Mariah's World, and if any of it is true, I'm really surprised that an A-list celeb like Mariah would even put up with such a rowdy and chaotic team. I mean Stella is continuously throwing fits, messing up, others are fighting and going at each other and Mariah is there either on stage or counseling her employees. Celebs spend so much money on big teams so that they themselves don't have to take a lot of stress and instead focus on their craft, and of course just see that her team is doing what they were supposed to do (like you mentioned). But the picture that MW is painting is that she has this whole mismanaged amateur team who are all up on each other and messing stuff up and eventually Mariah is having to go around and calming them down. It's weird. (Monday 19 December 2016; 17:05)

Re: Thoughts on WWHL (70,088) (70,091) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter You really don't, you can actually mistaken this for any of her other recent interviews. No straight answers, questions avoided by talking about her shoes and decor, no actual mention of what she is actual promoting (unless of course you take into consideration that she said "I want people to watch the show and find out" when Andy asked about Bryan). (Monday 19 December 2016; 17:01)

Thoughts on WWHL (70,085) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter 1) Living for the Demi shade. This is probably the first time in forever that Mariah addressed a question head on and I appreciate that she gave Demi a read and that too with top notch class. Demi's attack on Mariah was uncalled for. 2) Cringed at the Ariana shade. I am no fan of Ariana, I find her annoying and well don't like her in general, but I do enjoy some of her songs, I'll be honest. I think Mariah really didn't need to add more smoke to fire about her not liking Ariana. 3) She speaks fondly of Beyonce and that Dembabies get along great with Blue Ivy (I'm sure North West is out there throwing daggers for glares right about now haha). 4) I'm a little annoyed as usual by Mariah constantly going off tangent and avoiding questions. Her going on about the decor and her ensemble whenever she wants to avoid questions. Even Andy looked annoyed haha. 5) Mariah's comment about how she won't talk about the truth about her and Tanaka because she wants people to watch the show just cements the fact that it is indeed a scripted show, in case some of y'all "real" *cough delusional cough* fans were thinking this is the real deal. The only way she'll come out looking good about this possible "cheat-ation" (in Wendy's words, please don't censor it Eric, haha I know it's not a real word) story line is if it is revealed that Tanaka is gay or that James was abusive and Tanaka came in to protect Mariah. (Monday 19 December 2016; 15:10)

Re: Trey Lorenz? Blurred face (70,079) (70,084) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter To be fair, I think Brenda is just pissed off that Mariah has distanced herself from her. Mariah can't possible take "advantage" of her friends because to do that, her friends need to be able to have something she doesn't. All of Mariah's friends are just her employees and these people are not public figures and have nothing to offer her apart from what they are employed to do. Why Trey Lorenz chose not to sign off on being on the show is also a mystery to me and if it's because he doesn't want the drama then more respect to him. I mean if the fact that he stuck with Mariah through thick and thin for so long wasn't enough for me to respect him, then this would seal the deal. But ya I don't see how Mariah can take "advantage" of her friends. I'd understand if this was said about Taylor Swift and her squad, all of them seem to have an agenda to use each others fame to collectively boost their image, but in Mariah's case it's completely different. If anything her employees take advantage of her, as we can see with Stella and some others before her. (Monday 19 December 2016; 15:02)

AIWFCIY (70,081) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So the popular YouTuber Patrick Starr posted this video on his channel with some other YouTubers dancing and "festivating" (as Mariah calls it) to AIWFCIY. This song is just so festive. (Monday 19 December 2016; 13:18)

Re: AIWFCIY Carpool Karaoke (70,060) (70,071) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter B, I see you still plugging in Rachel Zoe every chance you get haha. Keep at it, make it happen dahlin' . (Monday 19 December 2016; 10:10)

Re: Nick opens up / CaseyShow podcast (70,059) (70,070) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Thanks for the run down Marissa. I wanted the highlights. (Monday 19 December 2016; 10:09)

MW episode 3 : Mimi L review (70,069) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter 1) The SIO snippet at the beginning made me go back and listen to it a couple of times. Love that song. 2) Love Mariah's ensemble in the scene where Mary Ann is still complaining about Anthony. Mariah is in her Ms Weiss mode, giving out free therapy sessions to her employees. 3) Ugh Marah in that denim jacket, vision of perfection. She looks like her 2013 self. If nothing else, this show will at least have some of Mariah's best looks. She looks so beautiful in every shot. 4) If only Stella would take some of the more damaging rumors and bring those to Mariah instead of ones that are not even believable (they were discussing the rumor about Mariah wanting endangered species at her wedding). 5) Love that they used some footage from WBT and SIO performances. I want these more than the Stella and Molly drama. 6) So is Stella just hiring one inexperienced employee after another? She hired this new inexperience hairstylist for Mariah because she had some beef with Danielle. 7) Ok so apparently the reason Danielle was left out was because she was asking for a lot of money and causes a lot of drama. Rich seeing Stella talking about others causing drama. Side note: Mariah did her own hair after she was fed up with the new inexperienced Larry. 8) Anthony brings up how some of Mariah's former employees are talking trash about Stella. And Stella goes like she is very protective of Mariah because she's seen her former teams and no one cared about Mariah, they had a self serving agenda and they just cared about the lifestyle and making money. I'm like, Stella, girl, are you talking about yourself? There is another scene where Mariah gets an article that paints Stella in a negative light and Stella goes into a "women empowerment" speech in her talking head session. 9) So half of the episode is about Stella and her getting angry about the articles and her threatening to sue people and all the crap. And now Molly is back again so I'm expecting the next half to be about Molly. Seriously why is there more footage of Stella's assistant than there is of Mariah. She isn't even directly involved with Mariah. 10) The scene about Stella's competent team not knowing there's a time difference between countries. After so many mess ups I still don't get why Mariah thinks Stella is a good manager. 11) Danielle: "If I was Stella, I would have probably known that there's an hour time difference." I love Danielle already. 12) Mariah is walking on stage after being an hour late while the crowd is booing and Mariah goes "Am I being booed really?" and Stella goes "no they are not booing, no they're not, no they're not, no they're not". Haha probably exactly what Stella tells Mariah on a regular basis with all the recent embarrassing moments. 13) It's nice to see Mariah being very apologetic that she's late and she talks about how she hopes she can win her fans back after making them wait for so long and talks about how it's her job to give them a good experience. Then she goes on stage and asks "Do you forgive me?" It was cute. 14) Tanaka talking for the 10th time (in this episode alone) about how he hopes to have a conversation with Mariah and catch up. Dude lay off, she's engaged. Stop being thirsty. 15) Kris Buckle is just hilarious. His scene about him talking about how his dad thought he's having an affair with Mariah when he first started working for her because why else would she fly him around the world. Then the other scene with him and Danielle having to share a bed and Kris going into a country accent. He's hilarious, I can see why he gels well with Mariah. "Sleep next to the hussy." Dead. 16) Danielle: "The thing with Stella is she's always so loud, I don't know if she has a hearing problem or anything." Danielle, girl, I can't. "Stella she thinks she's part of the Russian mafia, and I'm the Italian mafia, and in history the Italians are much stronger than the Russians." Historical mess haha. Can't believe Stella is going off on Danielle after Danielle called Stella out for continuously flipping the middle finger and using the F word a lot on Danielle. Stella girl, calm down. 17) Stella trying to get Danielle fired and talking about bringing in "new people, new energy". Mariah rolling her eyes at that and saying "Larry was new" and then rolling over and giving her back to Stella haha. Stella finally realizes Mariah won't fire Danielle so she goes to plan 2 and says she won't add to Mariah's stress and that she's willing to do anything for Mariah even if she doesn't like the person. I think Danielle low key called Stella a punk. Also saying how it shouldn't be "The Stella Show" all the time. 18) Mariah having another successful therapy sessions this time with Danielle and Stella. Side note Stella went on about how there shouldn't be a "girl on girl crime", first of all Stella, look up "crime" in the dictionary. Secondly Danielle's expression to that line, priceless. Mariah just asked if they're willing to work on it, Danielle said "yes" but of course Stella needs more screen time so she goes on a monologue. Stella talking about how the only reason Danielle wasn't brought on tour was because of her agent's issue and nothing personal, but in the beginning of the episode Stella clearly talked about how she'd rather Mariah do her own hair than have Danielle back and also about how she doesn't like Danielle. So what is the truth? (Monday 19 December 2016; 9:58)
