So does this mean if I happen to be in my mid-thirties or so and The Beehive sees me walking into Heroes Comics, someone will yell out "HEY! You're too old for that place, old man! Go home and watch some Bubba on In the Heat of the Night!"

If you're wearing a pink miniskirt, bare midriff and sparkly belt and playing with your hair - then yes, absolutely.

No, I wouldn't wear that. Too many nerds come in there with that kind of outfit already. I wear that kind of stuff to Vons. NOOGINS!

She looks great leave her alone, i see a smiling, happy and content woman. Nothing wrong with that.

there's no way i could last 2 minutes with Mariah. that 38yr old body is banging!!

38 is not old!-----you'll agree when you pass it!!!

I'd say she's 38 and looking GREAT!! I'd also agree that 38 is not old as stated in a previous comment by pk. Rock On Mariah!!

I didn't get from this post that Mariah Carey is old, rather that Mariah Carey is crazy.

Hot, yes, but still crazy.

Not saying 38 is old. Not saying Mariah's body doesn't look good. Not saying that you - readers in your 30s - are old by association.

Just saying 38 is TOO OLD to look like you shop at the Hello Kitty store.

It concerns me Heather that so many readers are missing the gist of your posts.

MARIAH IS NOT OLD! ;)
i think my daughter has that skirt in size 4T ... one size bigger than what mariah has on here.
yay for personal trainers but that broad lost it long ago.

it's not Heather's fault. you post of pic of Mariah, nobody cares that she shops at Hello Kitty, I'm looking past her clothes and hair playing, and i'm imagining her naked.

you post a pic of Britney Spears in a bikini, she could be giving her kid crack cocaine, i'm looking at her and drooling, ya know what i'm sizzlin?

Is it me, Adam? Do you think I need to dumb it down a little, spell everything out?

I don't think so Heather. Why ruin it for the few of us enjoying your snark?

I personally like that she tries to class up the outfit with some Coach peep-toes.

I'm 35. I wish I had her abs. But not those clothes. All she needs now are two braids and a glowstick.

Howard Stern was on this morning talking about this picture and saying the same thing Heather said...so I guess Howard is stealing from the Beehive now.

She needs her old-man-ex, Tommy, to come back and tell her to chill out, put on some adult clothes. You know, class it up a bit...like...um, Whitney?

I'll be 39 on Tuesday.

For my birthday I would like to have the body of a 38 year old Mariah. Or maybe just a more fit 39 year old Joy. (Thank you imaginary sugardaddie, for my imaginary personal trainer and subsequent imaginary rockin' bod.)

Even for my fourth birthday (or eight, or twelfth)... I didn't want Mariah's clothes. There's no accounting for fashion sense. (Or lack thereof.)

Then again, I wouldn't appreciate that ensemble on La Hilton, La Lohan (either of them), or anyone else.

But if I were filthy rich, I could walk down the avenue wearing a giant yellow banana suit and not really be concerned with what a bunch of folks in Fresburbia thought.

Yet everyone would know it was meant to be laughed at, especially when I toyed with my hair coquette-like, and posed like a pixie.

I do NOT, however, subscribe to the fashion rule that women over 35 shouldn't wear miniskirts. I still have decent legs, dangit. I will flaunt them when I please.

But it doesn't seem quite... dignified, as it appears here.

Perhaps someone should have explained the a la carte menu of fashion to Mariah. Pick one, MAYBE two, of three. Neckline, midriff, legs... choose one, go light on the second, and NO on the third. She went for all of the above. The buffet. (the neckline isn't too revealing, but it is a V... )

Too many words. Stopping now.
