No More Birthdays for Mariah

Mariah Carey

You can touch her body, but you can't wish Mariah Carey a happy birthday. She may look amazing for her age, but 37-year-old Mariah is so terrified of getting older she stopped acknowledging her birthdays.

She says, "I'm eternally 12. And that 12-year-old inside me is an eternal optimist. Honestly, I don't even have birthdays.

"I call them anniversaries. It really is about how young you feel. Some people convince themselves they are old, or they think, 'I have to grow up now'. I will still always choose a day at Disney World over a night in Las Vegas. That's who I am."

We get the whole 'young at heart' part but calling your birthday your "anniversary" makes you sound like a old granny. Mariah's hot and she's still on top of her game, so who cares how old she is?!

Ms Cary needs to grow up and quit thinking she is all that. I guess if you dress like a 12 year old you will really believe you are one. What is she going to look like when she is 60?

Getting older is better than the alternative, not being alive. She ought not to disparage getting old. It's a natural part of our growth process as human beings. It's a pity the American culture only values youth.

Okay I have to admit I'm a LAMB, but if Mimi wasn't an international superstar and was just some chick I knew, I'd be like "girl you are NUTS!" I don't know how many 12-year-olds wear stilletos EVERYWHERE and if she thinks her 38th Anniversary is devastating she's only touching the tip of the ageist iceberg. She should just throw some money at the problem (you know she's got it) and celebrate the fact that she looks better at 38 than a lot of us look at half that age.
