About Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter:

Mental health and current team (81,762) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter First of all, I have got to give Mariah credit for opening about her disorder. Mental health issues are unfortunately still a stigma and powerful successful women like Mariah speaking about their issues will pave the way for it to be more normalized and help a lot of people suffering from it get some confidence and comfort. I'm sure on Mariah's part it wasn't easy either since she always wants to maintain this untouchable, perfect, goddess diva image, and now to suddenly talk about her vulnerability and perhaps one of her biggest secrets so openly, it's not easy. So I'm happy to see this. Not only will this help create awareness and help people see Mariah in a different light, it will also allows her to take the narrative of her disorder in her own hands instead of leeches around her, like her brother and possibly Stella trying to make a quick buck off selling this story to the tabloids by sensationalizing it. For this I give props to her current team. Her previous teams along with Mariah herself had always maintained that untouchable image (which has started to turn the general public off) while her new team is making her look more like a person you can relate to by getting her to open up about her insecurities and actively participate in social agendas like the "Me Too" movement and other things. Mariah herself will feel liberated by letting go of her previous "perfect" image (which must be frustrating to maintain) and embracing the current, more vocal, more relatable Mariah. It's a win win. Go Mariah, Go Team MC. In the famous words of Kris Jenner "You are doing amazing sweetie." (Wednesday 11 April 2018; 19:28)

Re: Videos - product placements (81,669) (81,670) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Hate "Did I do that", love "To The Floor". The breezy sexy vocals give me life. (Wednesday 4 April 2018; 21:22)

Re: Videos - product placements (81,661) (81,662) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter "Say Something" also features the gold color Nokia phone which was really popular in 2006. I think it was the Nokia 8800. "Obsessed" featured Nokia N90. "Oh Santa" featured her lollipop bling collection. IKWYW featured her "Automatic Princess" line. (Tuesday 3 April 2018; 21:40)

Re: Mariah IG birthday pic (81,571) (81,575) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I see Special K is still thirsty over Tanya. (Thursday 29 March 2018; 16:46)

Re: New Mariah (80,353) (80,359) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Haha I don't really believe Bryan is actually responsible for Stella's dismissal, but I do believe that around the end Bryan and Stella didn't see eye to eye hence we got those insane amount of "Bryan is a leech" news. That was classic Stella move. I still think that Bryan is nothing but a paid employee acting as a boyfriend. I would really like to know what happened with that security issue though. It's scary that Stella would go to such limits to steal some Hermes bags, but we all know she loves herself some big ass hand bags. (Wednesday 10 January 2018; 11:27)

Re: Golden Globes party moment (80,355) (80,358) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter What on earth? No way. I can't. (Wednesday 10 January 2018; 11:24)

Re: Ball of wax tea (80,356) (80,357) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I think her current team will take care of the statement, provided she has one. I do agree with you about how she should go about it. Now with the Time's Up movement, we have to remember it's not just about sexual abuse, but also unfair and unequal pay, women not getting enough recognition for their contribution and so on. For Mariah, I think her statement (if she does go for it) will be more about the unfair business practices and not about sexual abuse. I'm basing this off the fact that she had her "sometimes men forget that women write as well" statement ready. So I'm guessing hers is about that. (Wednesday 10 January 2018; 11:24)

Re: New Mariah (80,329) (80,337) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter From what I've gathered, Stella quite possibly was the mastermind behind the "relationship" but there came a point where Tanaka and Stella didn't see eye to eye. That's probably when the "break up" happened between Mariah and Bryan and we got all those stories about how Bryan is demanding more money and how Mariah left Bryan because she realized how he was using her for money and fame. Then Bryan came back into the picture and eventually phased Stella out. They say Bryan played a key role in Stella's dismissal but ofcourse these are all unconfirmed. (Tuesday 9 January 2018; 12:24)

Re: New Mariah (80,326) (80,327) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Her re-doing NYE and claiming back her spotlight would never have happened under Stella's immature reign. We would still be getting pointless mud throwing instead of damage control. Her social media now looks much more sophisticated and personal. I love that we are getting 2009 Mariah twitter moments with her joking around, making up silly words, sharing little seat stealing moments with Meryl Streep. I love how she is now being more vocal about women's rights and standing up for causes. I love that now each day she's out she looks like Hollywood royalty and not some trashy reality star looking for cheap attention. If I hadn't known any better I would argue till death that the Mariah we saw for the last 2-3 years and the Mariah we have now are not the same person. This new turn around just gives me so much hope. And to be quite honest, even if she decides not to release albums or whatever (which I'm sure she'll release because she loves music), I'm just glad that at least her image has been repaired perfectly. I was scared that she has ruined the last bits of what was left of her image and flushed all her hard work and integrity down the drain. But she has risen like a Phoenix again. The people are on her side again. 2018 could be the year of Mariah if she wants it to be. (Tuesday 9 January 2018; 02:12)

New Mariah (80,325) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I just wanted to write a post dedicated to how amazing Mariah's new image and team is looking. This is how a legendary superstar should be represented. Not only is her team doing an amazing job churning out one positive news about her after another (this shows that you don't need trashy moves to stay in the news), but Mariah herself seem to have returned to her usual collected, classy and elegant self. The Mariah in the past 3 years was someone I just couldn't recognize. The constant trashy moves, the booty shots, the back up dancer grinding, the TMZ leaks, the relationship stunts, the ridiculous "walking around freezing NYC in a body suit" or "showing up at a club in underwear" and the immature and unprofessional behavior while dealing with the media both personally and through her previous team. I was seeing my childhood idol self destruct and it was painful to watch. I almost thought there is going to be no turning back from this but Lord am I happy she managed to turn it around. Everything has been on point lately. I can't complain about anything. Her mingling with Hollywood elite is how it should have been instead of hanging out with trashy reality show people. I hope it stays this way and I hope Mariah uses this new found interest in her to kick start her next era. I am loving the fact that I got my old Mariah back. Pow moment dahlin's, it's a pow moment.

Re: Mariah's in trouble (80,148) (80,156) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Why are you giving out these for free when you can make money writing conspiracy theories (right?). Don't waste your talent here and then get dragged by Special K. You have a gift, like Mariah's voice. But seriously thought don't you always say Mariah is super smart and knows what she is doing then how does she conviniently have no idea this time along? (Sunday 31 December 2017; 16:27)

Re: Dick Clark Productions need to redeem themselves (80,057) (80,067) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah has moved on so why not we do the same? This whole "their fault, her fault" thing is very 2017. Let's just be excited that Mariah pulled a boss move to come back and show the world who the real queen is. As she once said, "If they counted me out, they'll just have to count me back in." (Sunday 24 December 2017; 21:24)

Re: Social media (80,042) (80,051) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Boy would I want to know know but I'm sure she won't talk about it. I hope Mariah knows how stupid she made herself look when she agreed to not only go around making a fool of herself but also to actually put in a whole segment on her reality show defending Stella. (Sunday 24 December 2017; 02:24)

Re: Setlist (80,036) (80,044) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter "Fantasy" remix would be great too or the So So Def remix of "Honey". (Saturday 23 December 2017; 20:53)

Re: Setlist (80,036) (80,043) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter She can enter to the intro of "Heat" which says "they said I couldn't come no harder, can't step on this heat don't bother", just these two lines then move to ITL, "Heartbreaker" (with Jay Z), *another song* and end with Auld Lang Syne.

Re: Take 2 NYE (80,029) (80,034) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter They should also use the great press from AIWFCIY cracking top 10 as an opportunity to give her next single a boost. AIWFCIY could be the new IKWYW which helped get her back on charts and paved the way for TEOM. (Saturday 23 December 2017; 16:41)

Re: Take 2 NYE (80,023) (80,033) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I think at some point she realized Stella was not only pocketing money but also sabotaging her at different points in order to get more press even if it was damaging Mariah. (Saturday 23 December 2017; 16:38)

Re: Social media (80,020) (80,032) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Gone are the days of booty shots and "leaked videos" of an engaged Mariah drunk and grinding on her back up dancer. (Saturday 23 December 2017; 16:36)

Re: Take 2 (80,025) (80,031) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah is managed and represented by Roc Nation now, and that's Jay's company/label. That's why she's been hanging out with Jay Z again. (Saturday 23 December 2017; 16:35)

Re: Take 2 (80,016) (80,030) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ya things can still go wrong but I think it'll go fine, for one thing, Jay's team won't be dancing around backstage with their kids while they're supposed to come out and help Mariah during a public crisis unlike some unprofessional "empower" mess. Also I heard Mariah is bringing an entire team so she doesn't have to rely on DCP. So far the amount of good press Mariah has received in the last few weeks including getting her song nominated is way more than what she received in the past 3 years. I believe 2018 Mariah will come back snatching wigs because with Mariah's artistry and Jay's businessman skills, chances of things going wrong are very low. (Saturday 23 December 2017; 16:33)

Re: Take 2 (80,004) (80,009) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Brilliant move and I'm really glad she's doing it. This is how it's done, so glad this is happening under Jay's management and not Stella. (Saturday 23 December 2017; 01:15)

Re: Mariah wearing Martyn's jacket (79,801) (79,804) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Just saw this and made me really happy. Martyn is probably out there somersaulting it up in heaven. Such a precious moment. (Tuesday 12 December 2017; 01:07)

New photos (79,597) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah looks absolutely stunning in the new photos. I was amazed. Everything about that look was perfection. The dress was chic, sexy and well fitted, loved her new hair color and cut, her makeup was flawless. No flaws. She looked great and confident. She sounded great. She looked like a cross between 2013 and 2010 Mariah. Honestly this woman is gorgeous. I hope with her new professional team, we finally see some much needed changes in her image.

Re: Six months on (79,552) (79,558) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Aww did you miss me Drew Drew? I've been visiting every now and then but don't post much. (Sunday 26 November 2017; 04:03)
