About Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter:

JD (57,101) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter JD is so sweet in the interview. He is pretty straight up about how awesome Mariah is and that she should get most of the credit for ABMB. Also he mentions how working with Mariah had elevated him to the #1 producer for the label and cemented his status as the hot shot. It's sweet that he talks so highly about Mariah and also how he felt like he needed to improve himself because his song was not chosen as the 1st or 2nd single. Jermash and Mariah.

Re: New pic (57,086) (57,089) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yes to the shaking off the black clothes. Mariah is one of those rare people who can pull of a wide range of colors. She looks much younger when she is wearing bright colored clothes. Plus I need her to wear something emerald green already and by emerald green I mean this. I think she will look stunning in this color. (Saturday 3 October 2015; 18:02)

Re: Reading too much into something (57,061) (57,083) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mara, don't worry, K Buckle and Mariah are still besties. We were just joking. (Saturday 3 October 2015; 8:46)

Re: New pic (57,066) (57,082) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter About the hair, I also have been saying that a shorter, edgier hair with a darker color would have been a fresh change, but after reading the interview of Mariah about the MAC lipstick campaign, I understood why she hardly cuts it drastically. I don't remember the exact quote but she said something like she hopes Monroe doesn't cut her hair because her hair is like Mariah's and that Mariah has a tough time growing her hair because it's so curly. So maybe she is scared that if she cuts it and it doesn't suit her, she'll have a tough time growing it back. About the makeup, I personally think the makeup shows she is more confident now. We hardly ever see Mariah in heavy makeup and a dark lip. She went for the edgy (by Mariah standards). I saw some photos where it looked like the contour and blush products were not blended properly but then again it just maybe showed up like that because of harsh flash photography. I love the darker lip gloss she wore. She is dipping her toes into the "Fall Trend" of wearing dark vampy colors and since obviously Mariah is not going to wear a dark plum, this was her way of switching it up. I love it.

Marissa (57,046) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Slay dahlin', slay. I don't see the point of someone actually going through your previous posts and then comparing it with an innocent but positive current post. Obsessed much? I mean there was even no correlation between the two posts that it was necessary. Experts nowadays have way too much time on their hands it seems, but we love everybody (as hard as it might get sometimes). They even tried to cause another "movement" by bringing in the "Madonna vs Mariah" drama when clearly no one at that point was using Madonna to diss Mariah or saying "Madonna is someone Mariah should learn from", people were just talking about how they are both legends and have now matured past their "beef" and how some lambs are the ones dragging on these feuds for ages. Cheers, toast, bravo to all the experts in the world. And Marissa, your post was flawless. (Friday 2 October 2015; 0:53)

Re: Reading too much into something (57,041) (57,044) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Lol, Rene that post was so hilarious that just putting a "like" on it wasn't enough. Perfect example. I think now Kristofer will be removed from Mariah's squad. Be prepared to have Mariah post a photo of Kristofer doing her makeup and with the caption from "Obsessed" or something, and then tagging him to make sure the diss has been delivered.

New pic (57,028) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Wow Mariah looks amazing here. I love the new makeup she is trying out here, that hair do is all sorts of cute yet elegant. Love the jacket. Mimi serving us sexy elegance. (Thursday 1 October 2015; 19:38)

Mariahisms (57,018) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I was watching the new episode of Empire and one of the main characters Jamaal (played by the uber talented Jussie Smolett) was doing an interview in that episode and the interviewer asked him a question and his reply was "We love everybody." Instantly made me think of Mariah and knowing how close Mariah is with Lee Daniels and Jussie also being on really good terms with Mariah, it might be a nod to Mariah. Mariah should seriously trademark some of the "Mariahisms" though haha, and also terms like "Imperfect Angel", "Elusive Chanteuse" and all those. I mean if Paris Hilton took out a trademark on "That's Hot" then heck why not Mariah, at least Mariah's ones are original. (Thursday 1 October 2015; 11:10)

Social media (57,007) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I want to know who posts the images on Mariah's social media (the flashback photos) and why they insist on putting up the hazy variety when hi-resolution varieties are available online and ever so neatly compiled chronologically in The Mariah Network page.

Daydream (57,006) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Happy 20th anniversary to Daydream and all the daydreamers. The album is perfection. (Wednesday 30 September 2015; 23:03)

Re: Mariah, reveal yourself this instant (56,984) (56,992) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Oh my gosh yay, thanks for remembering. I love her side (and I usually shy away from writing about those because I see most fans complain about it). Anyways I love a good nude color (which I think it's going to be since it's described as champagne). Plus it's true to what Mariah wears on a regular basis. I do hope they release one more which is a glossy natural pink like the other color she wears. I have always wondered why she doesn't rock a red lip, but she explained in the interview that she thinks it doesn't suit her. I have all the perfumes and my favorites would be M, "Luscious Pink", VOL, "Ribbon", "Mine Again", "That Chick" and "Forever", I love that all her "M" (including the Lollipop collections) are the same design, they look so cute together, all those colorful butterflies. The bottle of "Forever" is classy and art deco inspired, which I love. (Wednesday 30 September 2015; 1:29)

Re: Mariah, reveal yourself this instant (56,981) (56,991) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha aaww B you are making me blush for real. I was talking to a friend on the phone while I was randomly checking her twitter on my laptop and I screamed and my friend got scared. Haha. I am so excited. I mean I know the leather jackets and casual outfits can definitely be coincidences but the MAC collaboration, like please. Can nobody, can nobody tell me this wasn't my doing haha. (I am just kidding by the way.) Haha Mariah is teamed up with Elizabeth Arden for her perfumes and in the middle she kind of endorsed EA's lipsticks and lip gloss through "Infinity" video and then posting a status about it. Now to suddenly collaborate with MAC? I had almost given up hope on it, but Queen of Christmas came through I feel like a kid asking for a gift for Christmas and Mariah blessing me with one haha. So this single lipstick won't have special packaging, but I'm sure the Beauty Icon Collection coming out next year will have special packaging and possibly her signature on it (like they usually do for the limited edition). Fingers crossed for gold packaging, because Mariah is classy and nothing less than gold packaging would do but heck I'll take anything, I am already happy to have this collaboration happen. I also agree about how she should come back and redeem herself this Christmas. Give a killer performance and shut them haters down. (Excuse my childish writing/reaction here, I swear I am more mature haha.) (Wednesday 30 September 2015; 1:18)

Mariah, reveal yourself this instant (56,975) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Months back I was begging Mariah (through MCA ofcourse) to collaborate with MAC and release a cosmetics line. Shelly also joined in and we discussed packaging ideas and how cool it would be if it's gold. Well guess what? Mariah is collaborating with MAC for a lipstick called "All I want" coming this December and also a beauty line for 2016 Mariah X MAC beauty icon. I am excited. *high pitched noise* I love you Mariah. (Tuesday 29 September 2015; 17:36)

Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel (56,974) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Happy 6th anniversary to Memoirs. Such a cute, fun and joyful album. (Tuesday 29 September 2015; 17:14)

Re: So... (56,963) (56,972) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter What flavor? Pass the bucket dahlin'. (Tuesday 29 September 2015; 11:52)

Re: Mimi L / Mariah and Madonna (56,958) (56,961) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha don't worry I understood your post either ways. I agree with you and I also think that they are both past what happened back in the day. I also got the feeling that Mariah was talking about Madonna when she was talking about the artist who uses just their first name. But like she said she didn't want people to take it the wrong way. This is exactly what the problem is, people seem to take everything she says as a diss. This is why during the interview when she said "I have no problem with Gaga" and the reporter said "okay" she was like "Why, is there a problem I don't know about? People make things up." Shows that even Mariah knows that her innocent remarks are sometimes twisted by others and dubbed a diss. (At this point I am scared to use the word "shade" because I feel like Bill will get angry. Sorry Bill, I love you.) A lot of these feuds between celebrities are caused by quotes being taken out of context and reporters twisting things to increase subscriptions.

Re: Regina George in a lamb's clothing (56,956) (56,960) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Edward, thank you so much for the kind words. I often wonder why you and some other previously regular members on this board don't post as much nowadays. I really enjoy reading your posts too. See I'm all for different opinions because that's what makes the board interesting but I absolutely hate it that some people on this board think it's fine to bully others and call them names. If they have good points and if they are so intelligent then make that point respectfully, don't call me an "idiot" and "obtuse". That is not acceptable to me. Also suddenly everything here has suddenly become a conspiracy thriller. We can't say anything without it being dubbed a "conspiracy to ruin Mariah's image/career". Anyways, I just gotta shake it off. However, I do hope to see more posts from you and others who were regular on this board. The bullies shouldn't drive away true fans. Thanks again and sending you some love. (Tuesday 29 September 2015; 0:50)

Re: Mimi L / Mariah and Madonna (56,944) (56,950) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah and Madonna are both legends in their own rights. They both did a lot that changed the music industry for the good. Now I'll be honest, I don't know much about Madonna's music but facts are facts, she is a legend and she has also inspired a lot of artists just like Mariah did. I honestly feel that the feud in 1995 would not have happened if at that moment the reporter didn't bring up that Madonna quote during a public conference. I think Mariah went into defense mode and defended herself (understandably). The Madonna quote still remains unconfirmed, I think that it was mentioned that it was taken out of context or something (I honestly cannot remember). But I think they have both come to the level of maturity where they both can appreciate each other and know there is space for both of them in this industry. Obviously I don't expect to see them tweeting out selfies together anytime soon, but I think those feud days are behind them. I understand what you mean when you say some lambs are attacked for liking other artists, and it shouldn't be that way. Liking Madonna doesn't make anyone any less of a lamb than the others. I am a fan of good music, and I will listen to whoever provides me with it, but yes Mariah and MJ will always be my favorites. (Monday 28 September 2015; 21:22)

Re: Mariah and JD (56,941) (56,949) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Thank you so much for that post Deedre, I actually could not have written it better than you did. That is exactly what I was trying to say. It annoys me when people read too much into things. Some things should just be taken at face value. I mean Jermaine also posted the same image and tagged Mariah so now are we set for a twitter feud? I think not, I think they are reaching out to each other again (this is just an opinion). As for what you said about friends, I could not agree more. Friends give it to you straight if you are a genuine friend. If they sugarcoat things it's fake. I always tell it like it is when my friends ask me for advice and that's why they know they can trust my opinion and advice. Anyways, thank you again for your post. (Monday 28 September 2015; 21:12)

Re: MC and JD (56,939) (56,948) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I would actually love a modern edgy album. It would be a fresh change and I am on board with all the people you mentioned. Make it happen Mariah. (Monday 28 September 2015; 21:06)

Re: That face no flaw (56,937) (56,947) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Aaww B thank you. I think you are so right, there has to be someone from her team, if not Mariah herself, on this board. I am not saying she is taking fashion advice from me haha, but I think MCA and the Mariah thread on UKMix are 2 of her most regularly updated message boards and someone from her team definitely keep an eye here to see what the fans want musically and so on. Although I will say I shrieked when one day I said "hoping for a leather jacket moment next" and the very next day (or same day depending on time difference), she wore a leather jacket. (Monday 28 September 2015; 21:04)

Regina George in a lamb's clothing (56,946) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter *sips tea* Do you also get off on calling people idiots? LA has to be invited because he is her freaking boss, her label boss. That invitation was by default. I didn't see her mother there as well. Neither was her current beau, so um what gives? I am sure you are an "expert" and "genius" since you keep saying so on a regular basis. Keep painting Mariah as the "Shade Queen". Reducing her to something petty. I can't believe you would actually think Mariah would stoop low to actually tag Jermaine and insult him. Haha. What isn't a good look is how rude you are darling on a regular basis. Calling people names every time they say something that doesn't go your way. So tell me all about that expertise again. *plugs ears with cotton balls, putting on Cavalli shades* (Monday 28 September 2015; 21:00)

That face no flaw (56,934) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Here is a new picture of Mariah when she went to see Aladdin. I am usually not a fan of this color (the jacket) but it looks gorgeous on her. She looks so beautiful and is glowing. Her skin is flawless. I love jackets on Mariah. She wore a lot of them during E=MC2 era (from pink and yellow to golden and silver) and she wore some earlier this year. (Monday 28 September 2015; 15:59)

Re: MC and JD (56,932) (56,933) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter This is what she said about Madonna: "Madonna is a trailblazer, she helped the music industry in so many ways." You can hear it at 3.57 onward in this clip. I might be mistaken but she did praise Madonna in another interview but I can't remember which (or like I said I might be wrong) but at least in this voice clip you see her say it and she was genuine about it. This was from the MIAM era last year. (Monday 28 September 2015; 15:53)

MC and JD (56,931) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter To anyone thinking that Mariah shaded JD with that tweet or made a jab at him, it definitely does not come off that way. It was JD's birthday yesterday and that might just have been her way of wishing him or it could have just been Mariah reminiscing some of her old work (like she has been doing a lot lately by posting old lyrics and photos) and we all know how much she loves ILT and SIO. Secondly Mariah would never tag Jermaine in all her social media profiles with that picture if her intention was to shade him. She'd just post it and write a cryptic status (or none) that would imply the shade. People need to stop thinking that everything that comes out of her mouth is a "diss/shade". But since some lambs continue to do it, it makes Mariah come across as a mean person. The woman can basically yell "I love you" to someone and yet these lambs will say "did you hear the tone she used, there was definitely some shade in it" and then bring on the "queen of shade" hashtag. Just accept it that she has grown up and if she can now embrace people that she was once rumored to have feuds with (like her recently praising Madonna and acknowledging the Nicki fight was the fault of the producers not the 2 women) then she can definitely look past what one of her closest friends said in an interview (which I still detect nothing vicious, but may have been misunderstood). Her own label boss made quite a negative statement about her, but she is still there right? She is not an immature kid. (Monday 28 September 2015; 11:55)
