About Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter:

12 year olds or middle aged group? (69,865) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Stella claiming 12 year old kids are Mariah's prime target group (she must have misunderstood what "eternally 12" meant to Mariah) while announcing the show with Lionel in a matter of hours, I'm like (Tuesday 13 December 2016; 9:59)

Re: MW episode 2: Mimi L review (69,848) (69,863) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter You are welcome dahlin'. (Tuesday 13 December 2016; 9:58)

Re: Lionel (69,852) (69,862) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Wendy was talking about Mariah's World episode 2 and she said she asked Randy why Mariah is doing it, and Randy was like he has no clue. He also said he talked to her (I don't remember if he said few days before the show or he just meant he talked to her a couple of days back) and apparently told her that he didn't think it's a good look for her. I think a lot of her old friends must have said the same. (Tuesday 13 December 2016; 9:53)

Bruno and Mariah (69,861) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I'd love for Bruno and Mariah to team up for a upbeat fun song. Is that too much to ask for? (Tuesday 13 December 2016; 9:51)

MW episode 2: Mimi L review (69,833) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter (1) Again, Mariah looks flawless in every shot. (2) That Bryan-Mariah dressing room rendezvous is as fake as it can get. Mariah didn't wear that outfit on the SSFT tour as far as I can remember. I think she first wore it at the Essence Music Festival. I almost want to bet it was shot during her time in Hawaii. I don't see the point. You can see they are flirting with each, is Mariah trying to imply she was emotionally unfaithful to James? How is that a good look? (3) I'm still in the scene with Bryan and it's such an awkward scene. Plus if they met after so long where did the secret elaborate handshake come from? Did they invent it during TAOM and still remember it? Haha just an observation. (4) Do they really have no content to keep running with a Molly Apple TV story line? Jeez. Let it go. (5) Loved the dress rehearsal moment. Wish it was longer. (6) Ugh Stella is back at the screen time hogging. (7) Ok hold my orange juice, did Stella just say "a 12 year old is the best social media manager, because a 12 year old is who we're appealing too"? Really? Mariah freaking Carey's main fan base is 12 year old kids and she is trying to appeal to them? Fire this woman right now. I see it only took the second episode to introduce Mishka. Jeez Stella, this show is really about introducing yourself and your family to the audience isn't it? (8) Another scene with Molly, now with Kris. How is this related to the docu-series. Is anyone really that silly to not figure out that Molly is just a hired actress? (9) I know that the Tommy story and her "bad side" story might annoy some fans because they heard it before but I think it's good that they included it because the casual audience don't know much about her and this well probably help them understand her eccentric behavior a little more. For example how she probably struggles with trust issues and always be a diva so that no one can control her anymore and also why she refuses to be photographed from a particular side. (10) "He's thirsty and I'mma quench his thirst." Haha Mary Anne I just can't. Seriously though someone should use this on Stella. Maybe Molly should attempt that. (11) "I love Mariah almost more than Oxygen." Haha, I'm living for this dude's lines. "I hope she is late tonight." (12) Loved the tour montage but I wish they used more footage. (13) "All of this could have been avoided if someone would have thought about all of this before the tour started." You tell her Anthony. (14) Stella sucking up to Mariah again. Empower your suck ups. (15) Loved the scene with Roc and Roe and how Mariah explained that her childhood was rocky and that she will always be there for her babies. (16) It's funny to see Stella talking about how people need to stop thinking they are the stars because only Mariah is the star, Stella girl, take your own advice. Zarina is sitting there like "Stella who are you kidding, girl?" (Monday 12 December 2016; 18:23)

Re: Mariah going on tour with Lionel Ritchie (69,819) (69,821) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I do. Plus apparently it's a 35 show thing with Mariah as a special guest, I don't know what that means for Mariah. Is she opening for him or what? Come on now Mimi, why waste so much time on the road when you can work on that new album? Stella stop turning Mariah completely into a touring artist. She is touring so much she barely had time to do anything else, including getting married. (Monday 12 December 2016; 16:41)

Re: Variety and lawyers (69,788) (69,798) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The funny part is majority of the people watching the show, fans, non fans, reviewers, immediately state how they dislike Stella yet Mariah doesn't see it. (Monday 12 December 2016; 4:17)

What on earth (69,779) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah out there wearing next to nothing, when it's clearly cold outside and even Stella is wearing a heavy shawl. No wonder she caught cold. What on earth is this bodysuit obsession really? It's just so bizarre. Who wears bodysuits off stage? Let's not name Lady Gaga and Madonna, because if y'all can't group her in the same category as Mariah as an artist, then y'all shouldn't group her in the same category ensemble wise. (Sunday 11 December 2016; 16:03)

Re: Bodysuit (69,710) (69,715) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The video really did melt my heart, so cute to see her just up and run suddenly to her fans. Her security clearly didn't expect it haha. I'm glad the fans waiting outside got their moment. (Friday 9 December 2016; 17:45)

Bodysuit (69,681) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Seems like the bodysuit moments are not just limited to being "on stage ensembles" anymore. They're being worn outside too. On a side note I saw this cute video of Mariah running to greet her fans and it makes me happy. (Thursday 8 December 2016; 19:28)

Re: Petition (69,674) (69,680) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Mariah will admit to knowing JLo before she even considers covering her boobs for good haha. (Thursday 8 December 2016; 19:26)

Re: Mariah should read her own press (69,237) (69,243) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Hoochie mama, RJJ12 I just can't. But you are right, that is what she is being portrayed as even if she is not like that. She really needs to read some stuff though. I mean she's probably being told "Oh people are losing their mind over you and Tanaka" (not the reality that no one is buying it and calling her desperate to go so low to prove she's doing fine), then "Oh people are hash tagging 'Inconvenience Fee' now, you're like a women empowerment icon now" (not what people are actually saying, which is "you are being called a crazy gold digger who is trying to bully her ex fiance to pay her for leaving her"). By the way the women empowerment thing came to mind after I saw this recent interview of Mariah where she talks about how the show has many moments of women empowerment. That got me thinking "Stella Effect" because even though in many ways Mariah is an independent self made woman, but she never really talks about women empowerment, I don't think she ever brought it up before.

Re: She just needs Stella to do her job (69,235) (69,241) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I don't blame Stella for being overwhelmed with all the work, after all she has zero background in this line, I mean come on, how can a reality show producer be an efficient manager to an A list music star, what I blame her is for pretending like she is doing a stellar job and calling out anyone who says otherwise and not having the morals or decency to just gracefully step down from this. But of course she won't because half her family and friends are on Mariah's payroll now. Mariah basically has no one outside of the Bulochnikovs around her, except for Kris. There was James Packer but now he has been thrown out too. I don't remember if I read it here or somewhere else that someone was saying Stella wouldn't let Mariah marry Packer eventually because once Mariah is married, James would throw Stella out or at least not tolerate her moving in her whole family into Mariah's house like a freaking parasite. I'm not saying Stella did it, but you all know what happens when your friends keep whispering in your ears about your boyfriend not being right so many times, eventually you start disliking him haha. I'm just kidding by the way. (Thursday 8 December 2016; 10:34)

Re: Mariah's World was (69,150) (69,154) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Yes there will definitely be more story plus I think the part of Stella talking about the pre-nup not being romantic was filmed after the Packer breakup. So I think they refilmed a lot of stuff. Check out this link. I watched it here. (Tuesday 6 December 2016; 13:20)

Re: Beacon ensemble (69,151) (69,153) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter She did look good no doubt. The bodysuit didn't look tacky either somehow. I didn't hear the clips yet but I heard she is sounding great. I don't know why Mariah can't pull great vocal moments when her performance is being aired yet just days later she is slaying. (Tuesday 6 December 2016; 13:16)

Wendy on MW (69,149) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter She didn't go into details about what she thought about the show overall. But some points she mentioned. (1) Mariah doesn't sit, she lounges. (2) Mariah has diamonds for every occasion. (3) Mariah is in lingerie most of the time and Wendy thinks that's fine because if Mariah is confident enough then why not. (4) Wendy does not like Stella and thinks there is something opportunistic about her. She goes on to say that Mariah is so needy that she can't see through Stella's act. Seems like the lambs aren't the only ones who are hating on Stella. (5) She says Mariah seems to use her kids as decoration and doesn't come off as a great parent. That was a little harsh because the kids were hardly there for a few seconds. (Tuesday 6 December 2016; 11:08)

Beacon ensemble (69,148) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ensemble compilation, haha only Mariah will sing OHN in a bodysuit and her twins out. Toy soldier outfit. (Tuesday 6 December 2016; 11:04)

Re: Mariah's World was (69,102) (69,123) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter That would have been a lot of fun. Love ya too dahlin'. By the way do you think we might get a theme song for MW? I was hoping they'd release one to coincide with the premier. Imagine the exposure. (Tuesday 6 December 2016; 0:24)

Re: Mariah's World (69,105) (69,122) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter What did Ty say about Bryan and Anthony? I can't seem to remember. (Tuesday 6 December 2016; 0:23)

Two videos (69,121) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter This video of Tanaka talking about Mariah and how we have to tune in to find out how it all happened is just so next level cringeworthy, I just can't. Seriously, this just looks so cheap. Mariah also gives a little interview and she is as coy as ever. But Bryan's interview is just horrible. Notice Mishka trying to get her 2 seconds of fame in the background. (Tuesday 6 December 2016; 0:20)

Re: I'm living for Mariah's World (69,111) (69,119) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Why would Stella even have to make this tour happen in 2 weeks when the dates were announced back in December. She went on tour next March. If the dates were allowed in December, you can bet your life they had to negotiate the venues even before that. I'm talking months here. So the fact that the tour had to supposedly be planned in 2 weeks is weird because it didn't have to come down to that. If Miss Bulochnikov was spending more time at her work desk and less time following Mariah on her yacht and dates. (Monday 5 December 2016; 23:43)

MAC behind the scenes (69,110) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I don't remember if I posted this before. Photo 2 from the behind the scenes moment. Such an ethereal shot. This is a beautiful shot of our beauty school drop out doing her own makeup. I would like the final version of this photo. Very Charmbracelet meets TEOM. Last photo. (Monday 5 December 2016; 19:33)

Viewing party photos (69,109) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Photo 1 and photo 2 of Mariah arriving at the viewing party. This is such a cute photo, she looks amazing. This is basically Mariah's world currently. We have this photo of the Manakas. (Monday 5 December 2016; 19:30)

Re: MW episode 1 : Mimi L review (69,095) (69,107) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter The Roc and Roe moments were precious and you could tell these kids love the spotlight and are stars in the making because they came running to be on camera haha, just like Mariah said that they love being on stage. The show is definitely not a train wreck, neither did I think it would be, but it is what I expected it would turn out to be and that is it is somewhat scripted. I agree with the whole disoriented thing you mentioned. It is quite confusing at times. Especially to casual audience. (Monday 5 December 2016; 19:17)

Re: Mariah's World (69,094) (69,106) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I also wanted to mention how the editing was choppy and it just kept going back and forth so much. The structure was very messy up until the end when it finally got a little stable. But throughout it was messy. Like they couldn't figure out how make a proper structure. It looked more like a montage than a documentary. Or like an extended teaser trailer with several random footage sewn in together. (Monday 5 December 2016; 19:14)
