    Mariah’s New Perfume Ad: Creepy Or Cute?

    There is an alarming absence of Hello Kitty paraphernalia. - Elizabeth ArdenHere 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?

      Mariah is INTENTIONALLY hilarious, madcap Mimi always cheeky, both glamourous & ridiculous, contemporary & old school.
      The witty ad campain is a TRIBUTE to Nabokov & "terminally twelve" Mimi
      Elizabeth Taylor deserves credit & set the standard for using older photos for successful fragrace advertising...
      Her perfume line is a great success because of its quality & youthful, fun spirit

      MeMe is a gross needy mentally arrested molested 12 year old in an old hag miss piggy body and rehashing 20 year old photos to try and keep her overrated stripper image alive is creepy and pathetic-flirting with Beaver Boy is borderline pedophile. MeMe needs to be happy Tommy made her a bundle of cash and raise her science experiments with some dignity-what is Nick going to fill their heads with stories about how he used to jerk one off to mommies strip videos when he was 12 and always dreamed of growing up to be her but licking groveling bang chauffeur-the hype on this gross bee-yotch is just unbelievable -what does her PR guy work for the GOP on the side?-isn't one song she has done that is original or interesting in any way just one more Dr.Luke formula synthesized over produced pop trash boring song after another that any of the newer flesh puppets can and will do better-now she is reduced to reselling a 20 year old generic Christmas song over and over at Christmas time-pretty desperate and pathetic-usually reserved for singers that are already dead -and mostly played by department stores and hotel elevators-and you "sheep" just keeping spending money you should use on an education to keep MeMe the queen of materialistic selfish greed rolling in her fools gold-that's all you gullible -not to smart "sheep" are good for anyway-so keep looking at 20 year old photoshopped images and make believe you live in the land of glitter and unicorns and MeMe looks like that-no one will ever know what the hell MeMe actually looks like now because she living off all her old media-but that photo of her "walking workout" in Manhattan was probably close and she looked old and fat and her hair was a shoulder length kinky frizzy mess-the rest is just a lie that you idiots lap up out of your Hello Kitty saucers

      This is a very old photo, more than 10 years old, it's from her Rainbow album, which is 10+ years old. Why couldn't she have used a "newer" photo of herself, it's kinda misleading. She doesn't look anything like that and wouldn't look anything like that without all of the airbrushing. Time to grow up and act your age...........
