About Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter:

Re: 2013 (65,222) (65,233) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter A stylist won't do much if Mariah is not ready to "collaborate". Mariah's rigidity about her fashion choices is the same as her being rigid about not venturing outside R n' B. Her fashion during AI was on point because she was obligated to dress a certain way by the producers and possibly sponsored by labels to wear their outfits every night. She was not happy about it because she said many times that she didn't like it. She was dressed by Wilfredo then, she was dressed by Wilfredo after that too. The moment AI ended, Mariah had full control over what she wears so she goes back to what she thinks is sexy and glamorous. She really needs to let go and just let someone dress her. The woman is beautiful, she has a great physique, she's so tall and statuesque, she can be a fashion queen. But for that she needs to let go of her rigidity and just give someone else the freedom.

Re: The emancipation of boobies (65,231) (65,232) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Lol I find it funny that people are suggesting that Mariah should be given a pass because she isn't doing the "absolute worst" thing possible. That means all the other crazy things she is doing should be excused solely because we have yet to see her be in the worst scenario. Well if she isn't advised on it early on, she'll be pushing the limits more and more dahlin'. While Mariah's boob display and tacky outfit choices (Lord bless her soul, she is the most talented musician alive, no doubt, but her fashion choices are horrible) for years, even decades now, but we didn't have this whole period where all we got to see was her forgetting to zip up or button up her top and hence exposing her lace bra to the world. It has always been balanced before. She'd wear extremely plunging necklines, the next day she'd be out in a normal t-shirt. Nowadays all I see is her lace bra and boobs. So it's no wonder everyone is suddenly talking about it. We keep going like this, Miss Carey will be joining the "free the nipple" campaign soon too. With a "Yas Queen" from Stella too.

Re: Insider info (65,211) (65,216) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Um Edward was clearly joking. He was continuing with the bra era jokes we were all making. (Saturday 13 August 2016; 12:51)

Re: UN (65,207) (65,215) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The House of Carey and Bulochnikov. (Saturday 13 August 2016; 12:49)

Re: Insider info (65,201) (65,209) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Your info is true, there will also be some club remixes called "Lace Bra Diva Remixes". At this point I hope she has a solid promo plan, by which I mean I hope she has a steady collection of new, as of yet unseen, bra collection to wear to the promo rounds.

Video Vanguard Award (65,196) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So Rihanna will be getting the Video Vanguard Award at the VMAs this year. How cool would it be if Mariah presented it to her? It wouldn't be random because Rihanna has named Mariah as her idol on many occasions and it would just be sweet. Plus this would publicly dispel the "Mariah doesn't like other female artists" rumor.

Re: Discusses why she decided to do a reality show (65,194) (65,195) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Do you think this might coincide with a new album? That might explain the delay. (Friday 12 August 2016; 23:35)

Re: When enough is enough? (65,183) (65,184) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Also why does she think it's fine to do this for 2 months straight? Like at what point will she get tired of this? It's in no way flattering. Imagine the people having to hold a conversation with her and she has them twins all up in your face.

Re: Stolen concept, leeches and the likes (65,166) (65,174) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Oh wow I had no idea Liana worked for JLo and now she is in Mariah's inner circle. She was even featured in the MW promo. Plus she is always with her during her vacations. Interesting. So we have a manager whose intentions are shady, a Zarina who claims Mariah was made relevant by Stella and a Liana, who was also a JLo insider. Nice job. (Thursday 11 August 2016; 20:27)

Re: New pictures (65,167) (65,173) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha I hope so too. The last time Mariah was forced to dress up in a certain way, she was not happy with it. It was for Idol, and that was her most fashion consistent era ever. Yet she later complained about it. (Thursday 11 August 2016; 20:25)

Re: New pictures (65,167) (65,172) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ugh I have been wanting a pant suit moment for so long. The last time she wore a pant suit was on Ellen in 2005 I think. And then the iconic pant-less suit in the "Get Your Number" video haha. I think it would suit her really well since she is so tall. (Thursday 11 August 2016; 20:24)

Re: New pictures (65,170) (65,171) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter My pleasure dahlin'. (Thursday 11 August 2016; 20:22)

Re: New pictures (65,161) (65,163) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Notice how I only mentioned "hair and make up" haha. I usually comment on the outfits too, but I didn't this time. Kinda given up, since it is the bra era so I'll have to live with it. But no Ribbon, this isn't worse than the white one. The white one is next level horrible. I don't know what she was thinking. (Thursday 11 August 2016; 16:08)

Re: Company (65,157) (65,159) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Dahlin' I was speaking hypothetically too. But I do hope she knows what she is doing. And this is not a decision she made in confusion to come out of her feelings for Nick. Because she really did love Nick, it was so apparent. (Thursday 11 August 2016; 14:56)

New pictures (65,158) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah went to a United Nations Special event at Brett's lodge. Picture 1. Here is another full length. I think she looks pretty, her make up is nice. The hair looks good. Mariah climbing on Stevie Wonder haha. Mariah with Dakota and Naomi. With Larry King. Approaching 2008 era body right here. (Thursday 11 August 2016; 14:52)

Stolen concept, leeches and the likes (65,153) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So when Mariah's concept was stolen during the MIAM era, every one was wondering who it was, and months later when Mariah cleaned house, everyone were rejoicing over how it's great she cleaned out all the "leeches" and "people who possibly sabotaged" her MIAM project by leaking stuff. So now that Stella is living on Mariah's dime, with her entire family (and no not just her kids, her father, her mother, her cousins and childhood friends) why isn't she a leech? Next important question is, in the TCA panel Mariah said she won't talk about her album because someone stole her concept, and then she added, it also happened (a concept was stolen) like 2 months ago. So then why wasn't Stella fired for the leak? I mean it's her job too right? Or is her job just to contour, party, wear variations of the same black on black outfit, do that weird hand pose (that is only acceptable for rappers and prepubescent boys trying to look like gangsters), and keeping Mariah booked on projects beneath her. Another thing is JD was dragged through the mud for saying true words that Mariah doesn't take her career as seriously any more. Yet when Stella's cousin said "Stella made Mariah relevant again" it's just fine right? Some of you all need to really decide what is what. (Thursday 11 August 2016; 2:44)

Re: Company (65,148) (65,152) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter That is a very extravagant way of avoiding to tell her kids that she is with Mr Packer. If they really intend to get married this year, Roc and Roe should be already told about this, because if she tells them right before the marriage, it will be too much for them to handle. They are just kids. Plus for the kids' sake I hope this relationship isn't a publicity stunt, because that would really confuse them. (Thursday 11 August 2016; 2:31)

Re: Mariah Carey (65,142) (65,151) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I laughed way too hard at this. (Thursday 11 August 2016; 2:28)

Re: Sack the stylist (65,143) (65,150) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter That would be The House Of Carey and Bulochnikov. (Thursday 11 August 2016; 2:28)

Re: Company (Mariah's world) (65,145) (65,147) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter It has been mentioned multiple times that it's for Mariah and the kids. (Thursday 11 August 2016; 1:06)

Re: Company (65,131) (65,138) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Lol, RibbonB you are a gem on this board. Your posts crack me up. No seriously, this is an appreciation post for you, you not only have nice, well thought out, detailed posts where you point things out so nicely, and then you also have this amazing sense of humor, which I adore. Please don't ever leave the board haha. You really are a gem. (Wednesday 10 August 2016; 21:16)

Re: Company (65,126) (65,129) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yes, I feel that too, that she doesn't have any intimate (sexual or non sexual) time with James because honestly even on the private dates, she is surround by everyone from her manager, her manager's father, sisters and daughter. Then why would you take you entire entourage to a vacation? Where a vacation is meant for immediate family to spend some time together which sometimes gets difficult to manage in our day to day lives. Shouldn't you instead let it be James getting to know her kids, he getting to know his kids, Mariah and James possibly having a small candle lit dinner or walking by the beach alone? Notice how James's kids are never part of this drama. The first few years together in a couples life is the most romantic and it's when you want to be the most intimate, after that it gets sown what of a routine pattern. So it's surprises me that the man she wishes to marry and is supposedly so head over heels in love with is treated like her first cousin (like Licia said) and the staged moments when he is seen grabbing and groping her, it looks like it's the first time her touched her. (Wednesday 10 August 2016; 17:36)

Re: Company (65,125) (65,128) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter We are on the same page RibbonB, but I guess I've always tried to make myself believe that Mariah wouldn't pull such stunts. I was always proud of how she achieved all the success without any stunt. Infact she achieved it against all odds. But that has changed in the last year or so I guess. When asked about her reality show, she said something along the lines of "it's not a reality show, I don't even know what reality is". I think that statement could not be any more true because she has clearly lost all her touch with reality. (Wednesday 10 August 2016; 17:29)

Re: Company (65,121) (65,127) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Lol you killed me with the "treats him like her first cousin" line. I wish I was joking, but you have to see the interview for yourself. James's boat is huge and it could probably fit an entire country's population in it, yet Mariah lives on a different yacht. The boats are always going to the same location and are harbored in the same port. I get the point of a "his and hers" sink in the bathroom, but yachts? Plus what they want us to believe is they are engaged and want to get married as soon as possible so then why would you need to have a separate yacht from the man you wish to spend your life with? Didn't Mariah complain about Nick always being away? Well James is also away on business but the short amount of time they are together, she either brings her entourage with her to their dates or she lives in a different yacht? I get rich people are not like us ordinary people but this is in no way normal. What is she exposing her children to? Is this all for the reality show? (Wednesday 10 August 2016; 17:26)

Company (65,120) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter While initially I was rooting for Mariah that she bounced back from Nick and got herself someone who is more like her, some who likes privacy and is more age appropriate, I am beginning to think this is probably the weirdest alliance. First of all we have all talked about how it feels like this whole relationship is about business and image. Watching the E interview, where they talk about having "his and her yachts", I was like why? I mean I get it that it's glamorous and all but why do you need 2 different yachts? So for those who didn't watch it, James has his Arctic P, which is the 7th largest in the world apparently (so it must be pretty darn big), if I'm not mistaken, that's his family yacht. I assumed Mariah was on the same yacht too, but apparently Mariah hired another, much smaller yacht, where she stays with her kids and her entourage maybe. No, this isn't some "independent woman" so she doesn't need Packer's yacht situation. This is a person you are supposedly marrying by this year, why on earth will you be staying in 2 different yachts when you are going to the same locations? (Basically the yachts follow each other.) That's messed up. Then she apparently left Nick because of his loud mouth and she has time and again expressed her displeasure explicitly about how she does not like that Nick is so public about all their personal stuff. Yet now Mariah is basically living on leaking stories to TMZ no less. All the private awkward kissing photos, the drunk dancing where there is no way anyone outside her team could have filmed it and so much more. If Mariah wanted her privacy, she could have had it. Brad and Angelina are 2 of the biggest celebs in the world, yet no one knows what goes on inside their house. We only get to see them when they are out in public. So people can save the "oh she's famous, paparazzi somehow always manages to get her private photos" can save that argument. I won't even start with the Bulochnikov drama, I've already said a lot about that, and it deserves a post of its own. There is something weird going on in Mariah's camp, and Mariah is somehow fine with it. (Wednesday 10 August 2016; 13:04)
