Media puppet?What a wonderful world which we live in. In a recent interview, Mariah, wearing thick lip gloss, gushed that she believes the media decides what is sexy and she has always just gone along with what she has been exposed to.
The singer explained: “I think that a lot of women are just trying to live up to the stereotypes and to the standard that's set on TV and in print media, which is airbrushed women who weigh three pounds. And it's not fair. It's not easy. But everybody gets really protective of me. They're like, 'Be less sexy'.” Mariah has been known to try different diets, along with stints in pilates, yoga, and other exercise routines.
Meanwhile, Mariah did add that she does go overboard when it comes to her sultry image "It's not intentional. If you film my body a certain way, it's gonna look like a certain way.
"But honestly, I've been the same way since I was a little kid. Like, I'm just emulating whatever's on a magazine."
Mariah obviously has never believed in being a trendsetter. Stating that she is merely copying other people is not something to go around bragging about. Hopefully, Mariah learns from this and expresses herself without feeling the need to look and be what the media wants her to be.
