How's my body, said naked Mariah Carey
One of my strangest experiences of trying to find a new "face" for Ultimo was a meeting with Mariah Carey. I walked into her suite at the Sanderson hotel in London to find that it contained a blow-up swimming pool full of water. She was filming a music video in it, which apparently took a very long time to make. I arrived at 6pm and by 2am she still hadn't seen me.
"Come on, mate," I grumbled to her manager. "I can't be waiting here any longer." He looked at me as if I was speaking a foreign language. "She's Mariah, you have to wait," he said. An hour later, I heard Mariah demanding a Chinese. And 45 minutes later one of her staff came back with a takeaway. God only knows where they got it from.
By the time I got to see her it was 4am. Halfway through our chat, she stood up and took off her dressing gown. She was naked except for two butterfly stickers over her nipples. "What do you think of my body?" she asked.
God, it's five in the morning, I thought. I can't deal with this. "Yeah, your body is amazing. I actually need to go home now," I said, and left pretty sharpish. Mariah had potential as a face for the brand, but I felt she was a bit too much. (Michelle Mone, Mail Online)
