About Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter:

Re: If you could interview MC and only ask 5 questions (56,697) (56,715) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Andrew, you get the chance of a lifetime to interview an artist you admire (or used to) and you will ask her questions that insult her or make fun of her? That's a little sad. I'd think that even if Mariah currently is not making the type of music you want, I would like to believe there was a time when she did, and given the chance to interview this person, is insulting her really the way to go?

Re: If you could interview MC and only ask 5 questions (56,692) (56,696) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Wow B your set of questions are fire. I want to know the answers to those definitely. Especially the tea on who stole the ideas and what the idea was. And oh my gosh do I want to know what she thought of L.A.'s comments. It must have stung at least a little since the comment was outright rude. (Wednesday 16 September 2015; 20:20)

Picture (56,681) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter If I didn't know better, I would totally think this is from 2005. (Wednesday 16 September 2015; 12:19)

Re: B / Empire pic (56,672) (56,680) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I agree that she is looking slimmer and if you see her pictures from the side also, her stomach is now flatter than it was a few weeks back. It's better that she loses the weight slowly because that would mean she is taking the healthy route. She can drop the kilos quick with crash diets and all but that is neither healthy, nor good since she will gain back more really fast. At this point in her life, I want Mariah to chose to be healthy and happy. She also seems to have changed the hair color to a lighter blonde. Still hoping for a black/brown moment but I can live with this too. Whatever makes her feel good. Also you have 2, not 1 trademarks to register. "Slowly but surely" and "the vindication of B".

GoW (56,666) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The GoW ad is bringing out some negative press but to hell with that. The main idea with these advertisements is to get people talking and good or bad press, Mariah's name is getting them headlines all over so it's a win win for both parties. The gaming company is getting the publicity, Mariah is getting the cash and royalties. Haters are going to hate. I think the ad was cute and I liked the humor element to it. That's very Mariah. I'd rather have this than the Kate Upton versions of her in the bath tub and all. It's good that the focus is kept on the theme of the game and Mariah is their "aid" in the battle. Anyways, counting down to when JLo or someone else will be pulling the same move and be praised and admired while Mariah gets ridiculed. "Trendsetter-Riah" does not need anybody's approval. She's been setting trends (and being ridiculed for it) since she stepped into the limelight and them other irregularities come in and copy it and people think it's awesome. Bye Felicia.

Re: Empire pic (56,658) (56,661) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter That and also this one. (Tuesday 15 September 2015; 16:43)

Re: Empire pic (56,653) (56,656) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Lol B, you should trademark that line now that it has reached legendary status. But in all seriousness, Mariah does look slimmer now. Doesn't she look very TEOM era right now? (Tuesday 15 September 2015; 15:23)

Re: Mimi L. / Empire (56,652) (56,655) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Hahah I am super glad to hear that. Catch up on Season 1. Season 2 starts soon. Empire Season 2 starting September 23. Wednesdays, only on Fox. Haha. (Tuesday 15 September 2015; 15:21)

Re: Mimi L. / Empire (56,650) (56,651) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Hahah yay. Hold on a second. *collecting checks from Lee* Haha. I am so glad you liked it though. I think the show is written really well and the characters are played to perfection. Everything from the visuals, to the story, to the character story lines and music are all done so nicely and tastefully. I love how over the top Cookie is. (Tuesday 15 September 2015; 12:02)

Gif (56,632) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha the run has already been turned into a gif. Aaww Mariah is so cute. I love me some Mimi. I hope we see more ads. (Monday 14 September 2015; 20:27)

Game of War (56,631) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Here is the new GoW ad. Mariah looks stunning, very TEOM era glam meets warrior. I love her in the armor. But why is she running in such a weird manner haha? But I wish there was more of her. She is there like for just a few seconds. (Monday 14 September 2015; 19:02)

Glitter (56,606) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Happy birthday Glitter. You didn't get a chance to shine the way you deserved. Glitter (the soundtrack) was ahead of it's time. I will probably go watch the movie now. (Friday 11 September 2015; 22:43)

Re: This is QHM, Warrior, Deedra, Mimi L (56,557) (56,559) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha you are right, it didn't match. I think the only time it matched was when she wore the same necklace (or a similar one) for her vow renewals in Paris, where she wore the white fishtail gown. Oh wait, it also looked good at the Rockefeller event. Although that night she had another major fashion faux pas with her fake tan (notice the glove region, tan mishap). I also agree that the choker she wore with the pink dress went with the dress. I liked the pink dress, the waterfall slit gave it a fun meets formal look. Sometimes she goes overboard with the accessories. Like big chunky diamond pieces with very casual attire (like the tank top moment this time). (Thursday 10 September 2015; 1:48)

Re: Article: Mariah Carey shows off the family jewels (56,554) (56,556) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yes you are right, that necklace is not new. Nowadays these news outlets just make up stuff and pass them off as stories. However fashion advice for Mariah, that necklace does not go with that tank top. But I like her tank top though.

Lee Ts (56,551) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter If you want the full performance, it's here. (Wednesday 9 September 2015; 15:23)

TMB (56,550) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Oh wow I almost forgot what a sexy song TMB is. It's like a more explicit "Honey". Where "Honey" relied on subtext and hints to deliver a sexy message, TMB is like full blown "I'mma draw you a picture about exactly what will happen between us in the boudoir". It's like an instruction booklet on foreplay hahah. I love it. I love everything about TMB. The breezy vocals, the sexy but witty lyrics, the laid back but quirky beat, the "hey ee yeah ee oh oh babyyy" and the "oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, ah ah ah". The video is one of my favorite Mariah videos. I love the sexy meets nerdy and cutesy elements. Also I love how she sings TMB here. (Wednesday 9 September 2015; 15:22)

Justin and Why You Mad? (56,549) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Justin is back with a bang and this could have helped Mariah too, or still can. I know a lot of people on this board think Justin is crap, but his recent music is really good and I think his voice goes well with Mariah. If Mariah wants Why You Mad to ever be released, now would be the time. It actually might have been better if she released it right before the release of WDYM, when Justin fans were hungry for anything Justin releases but I think now can also be a good time and she can just ride on the wave of popularity and success his new song is getting. I think Why You Mad with just MC and JB is perfect. The rappers don't add much so they could just re-do the arrangements and it would be great with a simple video. America loves a good comeback and this is sort of just that with Justin since he basically ruined his image. Say what you want, laugh at him, it's undeniable that he is a huge pop star now and if it can help Mariah then why not? I like their vocal chemistry. (Wednesday 9 September 2015; 15:11)

Re: Message board debacle (56,530) (56,532) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I don't know about the others but B is definitely not a shallow fan. He has been a huge supporter ever since he joined the board. He wasn't part of the weight arguments either. Or if he was, it was only to stop those topics. As for the topics you have mentioned, yes it's true but everyone has talked about those and made thousands of "top 10" lists on this board possibly covering every aspect of her career. Music videos, songs, live performances you name it. Yes I do not support the weight criticisms but I see nothing wrong in the other things that are being discussed here.

Re: Change (56,475) (56,477) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yes I don't know why Mariah even agrees to step out in those clothes. The clothes are not flattering and that definitely affects the way she appears in photos. I heard the same person who dressed her for Idol is dressing her now so I don't know why on earth he is messing up. Big time. Mariah is one of the richest entertainers out there. She can afford anything, so I don't understand her clothing choices. We definitely need Mariah to get into Balmain mode. Heck even JLo scored a photo spread with Balmain just recently (which pissed me off to no end since I have been going on and on about how Mariah should try them out for months now). Balmain somehow looks flattering on different body types because Kim K also wears a lot of Balmain and we all know she is quite curvy and has a wide frame but yet Balmain makes her appear sleek. It'll look even better on Mariah since she has the tall frame. Edgy is definitely the way to go now. We have had years of old Hollywood glamorous Mariah, switching to a more edgy glam would be nice. Plus I would love to see her back in brown hair or even black if she is up for it. Campaign for Rachel Zoe and Balmain to be introduced in Mariah's glam squad. (Friday 4 September 2015; 23:08)

Change (56,468) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Surgery or not Mariah definitely needs a change. It'll make her feel refreshed too. I say go for the edgy. I'd like her to go brunette at least temporarily. A soft brown if black is too drastic for her. Get a shorter length for the hair. Plus I still wish she'd try Balmain. She was hanging out with Balmain's designer in Paris multiple times yet I didn't see her wear any of his designs. I think Balmain balances the edgy-sexy-classy really well. Plus a lot of their designs have the boobs covered and legs out, which I think would look great on her since she has long legs. The gowns should go. They age her. She looks much younger in casual attire or shorter flowy dresses. Before anyone has a breakdown and tells me to stop telling Mariah what to do, save it, it'll fall on deaf ears.

Re: Article: Mariah cuddles her daughter as she takes her swimming (56,446) (56,448) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha well to be fair Monroe was also there. Only one photo is included on the article here but if I am not mistaken the original article had this as the first picture. (Thursday 3 September 2015; 21:11)

Re: Breast reduction (56,435) (56,440) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yes to the reduction. Although I heard it's painful, but if she is willing to do it, I think it's for the best. Mariah's breasts kinda make her look bigger, when she really isn't. Plus it's better health wise. The article is stupid though, talking about how she looked at pictures of James' ex wives and compared boobs. As if. (Thursday 3 September 2015; 6:09)

Re: Empire (56,404) (56,407) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter You won't regret it. Plus they have good music. And since it's a continuing story line, starting from season 2 would be confusing for you. There are like 13 episode in season 1. Won't take long. Haha I swear Lee didn't sponsor me for this little advertisement. (Monday 31 August 2015; 20:23)

Re: Empire (56,401) (56,403) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Licia, I would strongly recommend Empire if you haven't watched it already. It's a great show with great writing. The actors perform their characters to perfection and yes Cookie is definitely everyone's favorite (including mine of course). Taraji plays the role beautifully. She is like a powerhouse character. Lee did a brilliant job with the show. That is why I was so happy to see Mariah be a part of it, although everyone already expected her to be in season 1. But Lee did pay homage to her in season 1 as well with a huge portrait of Mariah placed in the background very prominently. (Monday 31 August 2015; 16:15)

Re: The Weeknd (56,395) (56,399) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I am all for a Mariah and The Weeknd collaboration. I absolutely love "I can't feel my face" and he can bring a fresh sound to her like Miguel did with #Beautiful. (Monday 31 August 2015; 12:30)
