Kim Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Mariah's New Perfume Ad: Creepy Or Cute? Here is the new ad for Mariah Carey's new trio of fragrances, Lollipop Splash the Remix. Our first reaction when first viewing the image on People.com was to laugh (Mimi is unintentionally hilarious!), then to cringe (why must Mimi, who is 42 years old, continually present herself as an aging tween with a butterfly fetish?!). Sigh. We snicker but it's worth noting that the new mother of twins and collector of all things Hello Kitty has a successful perfume line. Her latest scents -- a trilogy inspired by Carey's playful personality -- are Never Forget You ("gourmet jelly beans and golden peony"), Vision of Love ("French macaroon and purple jasmine") and Inseparable ("raspberry, mango, jasmine and orange flowers"). Carey's ads are authentic to her sexy-and-sweet personal brand, but given her string of bizarre behavior (the latest: flaunting her naked baby bump on the cover of Life & Style, then painting a butterfly on it), the image of the Grammy-winning diva licking a lollipop, all Lolita-like, makes us embarrassed for her. And the color scheme, clearly yanked from the design of a 1993-era Lisa Frank Trapper Keeper, has got to go. It just seems so ... immature! Isn't Mariah too old for this act? http://omg.yahoo.com/blogs/thefamous/mariahs-new-perfume-ad-creepy-or-cute/1535 ----- @ "Creepy or Cute?" But isn't that an old pic? It looks like it's from the Rainbow era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Its cute why can't women be sexy beyond 30? Aint we in the 21st century? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim Posted June 18, 2011 Author Share Posted June 18, 2011 Its cute why can't women be sexy beyond 30? Aint we in the 21st century? I think there's a difference between being "sexy beyond 30" and, well, Mariah. I know she's always been like this, but one wonders when or if she'll ever mature, especially now that she's a 41 year old mother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
