About Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter:

Re: Human chair (64,994) (64,996) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Hahah MC is just so "extra" sometimes. Like woman just stick to your regular velvet chaise lounge. While the press conference got great responses and Mariah's answers were pretty good and witty, I could do without the oiled men bringing her on stage. She has done this so many times in the past year, I just can't. (Friday 5 August 2016; 18:10)

Re: WTF? (64,984) (64,985) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Bryan Tanaka is also half Japanese. So basically all of them (except for the one on the far right, whose face can't be seen) seems to be of different races. I don't think she's a racist in any way. Her best friend RaeRae is black, her ex-husband (with whom she was head over heels in love with) was black. Her inspirations (Whitney, Patti, Aretha, Diana) are black. Her favorite collaborator, Jermaine Dupri, is black. Her biggest fan, Wendy Williams, is also black. Haha ok sorry about the last part, no Mariah may be a lot of things, but I don't think she's a racist. (Friday 5 August 2016; 10:43)

Re: From Mariah's Facebook (64,956) (64,977) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter "It's like a cross between Pennywise the Clown and an Eastern European lady of the night." My heart can't take this. Too, damn, much. Hashtag empower your shade. Maybe Stella is going for the "lady of the night" look since she captions most of her photos with "working girls" which can have the same meaning. (Thursday 4 August 2016; 22:40)

Re: 25 Times Mariah Carey's Instagram... (64,971) (64,974) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter This is what really pisses me off about Stella. Like let it go, take the advice and try to change the captions. Ask Mariah how she would caption it and just type it out in the future (and do a darn spell check). But no, instead she'll go and try to get an article to justify stuff. Like previously she got Mariah to release the statement about how "Stella is the greatest and made her a lot of money" and now this. It's either her trying to do that or lashing out at low level tabloids. Just try to take the advice and work on it. Stop being so childish. At this point Mishka's captions are more mature than Stella's stupid antics. (Thursday 4 August 2016; 20:58)

Re: 25 Times Mariah Carey's Instagram... (64,971) (64,973) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I died and stopped reading at "it’s safe to assume the person running the account is Ms. Carey herself". Ok then I guess the person writing songs that we've loved and admired since 1990 is definitely not Mariah, because the "real Mariah" clearly does not have a strong grasp on the language.

Re: NBC Universal Summer Press Tour (64,963) (64,970) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Licia dahlin' stop playing and tell us the truth, you were hanging out with Mariah on the Arctic P (that's what Packer's boat is called right?). I need details on the top secret album being recorded and does Stella's contour have a life of its own when you see it face to face? Haha welcome back. You have been missed. (Thursday 4 August 2016; 18:35)

Re: From Mariah's Facebook (64,960) (64,967) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha I was all about the first body suit she wore during SSFT, the really glam silver/white one. But after that she started wearing it so much, even during "Hero" and all, it got weird. I am not a fan of her always gowns too, but she can easily just wear shorter dresses or other outfits. Bodysuits are fine for people who actually dance. (Thursday 4 August 2016; 17:55)

Pictures from the press conference (64,950) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Woah Mariah, I wasn't ready to be slayed like this. Of course she came on a purple velvet chaise lounge, I mean who sits on normal chairs during a press conference haha. She looks exactly like her 2008 self in this one. This is the era of bra out, bodysuits and oiled up men haha, honestly I thought this was funny. Usually I am like Mariah calm the heck down with all the diva act, but here it actually is funny because it is so apparent that she is doing this as a joke to play up what the public thinks. Um fat who? Splashes. This is from her instagram. Her humor is back in the conference, most of her quotes from it were hilarious. (Thursday 4 August 2016; 5:56)

Mariah's World (64,948) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So the second is out and this is even better than the first one. I actually love it, she is in a slide, there is a moment she is crying, we already get to see the wedding dress. I loved the trailer. It has humor and she seems to be enjoying herself. It's cute. And I love that she is using "Emotions" and "Fantasy" for the background songs, I mean these how do these songs still sound fresh? (Thursday 4 August 2016; 5:38)

Promo image (64,930) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Here is the promo image. Thoughts? There's something really off about the image. First of all, it looks like her head has been photo shopped from another picture. Then the whole posture just looks off. Like what is going on? Why is this the promo image? Does Mariah have no promo budget anymore? I mean this picture is the same as her instagram picture, which was probably taken by either Mishka or Stella. And they use that, with a photo shopped head for the promo shot of her reality show, oh sorry, docu-series? The Kardashians would never settle for this. (Wednesday 3 August 2016; 21:27)

Re: Random (64,923) (64,928) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter She got the equivalent of "catching them all" when she got Mariah. (Wednesday 3 August 2016; 21:12)

Re: Mariah's World "delay" (64,922) (64,927) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I will never understand why the take forever to make announcements. Like the whole thing with this second leg of the SSFT tickets, now this. Where on earth is the official release? (Wednesday 3 August 2016; 21:11)

Re: Mariah's World logo (64,920) (64,926) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter So is the promo picture for the SSFT. How is this even a flattering picture? She had so many gorgeous shots live from stage. Secondly, what is up with that hideous edit? I swear for one of the richest musicians in the world, Mariah sure hand picks the worst people to do her work. (Wednesday 3 August 2016; 21:09)

Random (64,919) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah looks nice here, I like the subtle makeup. I don't know how I feel about the dress yet. I have to say, Stella actually looks good without that garish orange tan and red lipstick, the signature contour excess is still there but she actually looks quite pretty here. Last but not the least, Mariah's World has a new profile picture and let me just say, have you all ever seen a more professional edit job? I think not. (Wednesday 3 August 2016; 16:42)

Cheap Thrills (64,916) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter This song is perfection. Mariah should definitely work with Sia. I think they have such different styles that Sia can take Mariah to a different direction. Sia also likes to collaborate with people who bring creative input to the table, that is why she praised Katy Perry so much while simultaneously somewhat dissing Rihanna and Beyonce for not being involved with the writing process. As much as I love JD-MC collaborations, I think that should be limited to a couple of songs, while she goes ahead and tries out new producers and songwriters to collaborate with.

Re: Mariah's World update (64,904) (64,907) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Thing is if you are going to release something, just keep it to yourself and then start promoting the hell out of it lets say 2 months in advance so that people get caught up in the hype and tune in. Unless ofcourse you are Beyonce, then you just drop it overnight haha. But ya doing promo for it since months back without info. The trailer got a lot of attention but then we hear nothing about it. People don't even know that it has a Facebook page and the air date hasn't been mentioned there or on Mariah's own page. Mariah's world Facebook page has only 1500 subscribers. Because no one knows it exists. Does Stella just expect general people to check the news everyday to see when MW will air? (Tuesday 2 August 2016; 10:55)

Re: Mariah's World update (64,902) (64,906) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter But the SSFT is in November. This was supposed to air late summer/early fall, so if it aired in September, they would have been done by end of October since it's only 8 episodes. So once it aired she would have only needed to promote it during September. Go on with the tour in November. If the reason is to push AIWFCIY, she should have thought of that before and waited to promote it until atleast August instead of doing promo rounds since earlier this year.

Hair and makeup post (64,897) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah looks so stunning here. Everything about it, the hair, the make up, the edgy ensemble. I think she should definitely go to the darker 2008-2009 color for a change. Maybe switch it up this autumn and go darker with the hair color, it looks really good on her. Plus this is the type of eye makeup she needs, just small line to define the lash line, also the smaller full lashes are such a better alternative for her than the ones she wears now, which isn't flattering. This is another example of how light makeup takes years off her face. Recently she did do somewhat similar makeup and she looked straight out of 1999. Seriously if you have skin like Mariah's why would you even bother caking it up? Leave that to Non-Stellar. (Tuesday 2 August 2016; 2:16)

Re: What Would You Do? (64,878) (64,889) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I will definitely have a good arm workout while carrying out that operation. Stella's contour is so harsh, it looks like it's painted on with a permanent sharpie. (Monday 1 August 2016; 19:08)

Mariah's World update (64,888) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter "Mariah's World" will air on Sunday at 9P ET. Series premiere on December 4. She will be attending the NBC Universal press tour this Wednesday. Why is it airing so late? She started promoting it since earlier this year. No one will remember the promo rounds for 5 months until it airs. That's weird. I agree this is looking like MIAM era again. Anyways at least she has an air date. (Monday 1 August 2016; 19:07)

Re: Something's wrong (64,871) (64,873) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter This whole drinking and partying lifestyle would have been a great publicity stunt for a reality show if Mariah was in her early 20s or a major rock star. This kind of behavior would get attention for the Paris Hiltons and the Kardashians, even though the Kardashians are very vocal about avoiding alcohol. This is in no way a good publicity for someone like Mariah. If it's a stunt it made her image cheap. That and the fact that she is allowing a child to be around drunk individuals and also drinking with them, wait until the press gets a hold of that. This is in no way helping Mariah's image, her health, her voice or her life. We don't need the constant party videos and pictures. That will again raise questions about her role as a mother because people already think she is too much of a diva to be a normal mom. While I don't think that's true but who will be able to stop the tabloids? Once that happens no amount of swearing and f bombs to the press will work. Mariah should know it's the age of the Internet, her kids will grow up and see these online. (Monday 1 August 2016; 14:10)

The problem (64,866) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The major problem with Mariah's camp right now is that every single person surrounding her is from Camp Bulochnikov. Her manager is Stella, her assistant is Stella's relative/friend, her lawyer and financial adviser is another of Stella's relative. Her social media is run by Mishka. She has basically no outside person. All the control in one person's hand is not safe neither is it smart. Especially since Stella never managed a client even half as big as Mariah in her life. She has no musical background, yet she is managing the biggest selling female artist of all time. If she had different people managing different aspects of her career, she would probably get to know when one team is not fit. Mariah probably doesn't even check the net to see what is going on so she will only get the story her current team tells her. She should wake up when there's still time. (Monday 1 August 2016; 10:54)

Re: Mimi L. (64,854) (64,861) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Oh and to answer the other question, it looks Kris was the one doing the makeup back in 2012-2013, judging by the "behind the scenes" pictures of her getting ready for Idol. Kris has done a good job on Mariah in the past, like say "Honey Remix", "Heartbreaker", the "Rainbow" era and several other times. He kept it natural and nice. I don't know why suddenly since the last year they have started with this harsh makeup. Maybe Mariah asked him to. (Monday 1 August 2016; 4:08)

Re: Random (64,845) (64,860) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha so much so these people will practically give credit for Mariah's voice to Stella. I am not talking about people who are just normally fine with Stella or giving her a chance to prove herself when the next era happens, that's fine, it's understandable. I am talking about the crazy ones that basically praise Stella more than Mariah and give credit to her for everything. Apparently she "revived" Mariah's career and made her relevant. I just can't wait to hear what Mariah has to say about that Zainab or whatever her name is saying that "Stella made Mariah relevant". (Monday 1 August 2016; 2:29)

Message from a UK Mix poster (64,859) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter This is a post from Mariah's UKMix threat, which I agree with. Well except for when he says the petition was stupid, but well he did say before that he signed it and he was actually defending the petition and only referenced it because the troll at UKMix was trying to diss it again. Here is the message. "As much as I'm critical about Stella, I can't ever understand how and why someone would bully Mishka, or even insult Stella on their own instagrams. It's doing nothing and getting them nowhere except a block list. It also makes Stella more bitter and driven to do the exact opposite of what everyone wants her to do. I don't follow either of them and only commented on Stella's picture once. I was throwing musical collaborations into the universe. With that being said, Stella has opened a lot of doors for Mishka being bullied. Of course, it doesn't make it right, but that is a major consequence of achieving fame. Mishka is famous among lambs for running Mariah's social media. That is an adult job, therefore when the job isn't done right, people will lash out on who is in charge. I don't know if Stella interprets people telling Mishka to log off of Mariah's instagram as cyberbullying, but she needs to understand what the root cause of the bullying is. If she wants to protect her daughter from bullies, then remove her from the spotlight. Mishka's instagram is still public, she tags her self on Mariah's instagram to gain followers and with followers comes trolls and haters. Sushiroll or whatever, Stella's younger daughter put her instagram on private and isn't dragged along to adult events, parties, clubs, nor does she have a role in Mariah's career. They are only like 2 years apart. Stella should try to protect her daughter instead of pushing her into the spotlight, giving her an important job in Mariah's career, and letting everyone know that 'she is Mariah's best friend'. She also shouldn't post pictures like this. As a mother, you should do whatever you can to protect your daughter. Letting her into the spotlight helps nothing and there are consequences. While I never understand anyone who bullies kids or adults on social media, it comes with fame. While I thought that petition was stupid and was getting no where, it is not a bullying petition. If you read the actual petition you would know that it asks Mariah to be put in charge of her own instagram. No one was bullying Mishka there so stop reaching." (Monday 1 August 2016; 1:49)
