so..... rumor has it mariah carey has a sister who is still working as a prostitute. why? to support her drug habit. fact: mariah carey has a sister who was a prostitute and is a former heroin addict and currently hiv positive due to her past drug use. the way her sister tells the story, while Mariah was struggling for a break she paid for clothes and limo rides for the aspiring singer by selling her body for sex. this is from sources too numerous to name. the most reputable probably being The Guardian/UK
rumor: *cough* *cough*. i'm not going to say it, since i'm not really trying to get sued.
anyhow, i didn't believe this; i mean it's kind of wild. so i went looking for some information tonight. it makes sense though. from reviews of her she's lost 'like 70lbs' which would explain why this woman unlike all the others doesn't have any photos of her body included in her eros ad.
here's an old photo from a page at http://www.escorteverything.com/monica/

Every family has problems, no matter how small or large..... On Mariah's debut album, she wrote, "dedicated to my sister Alison - keep shining." While Mariah was rising to stardom, Alison was falling more and more into hopelessness. Every time they got Alison clean, she would go back to shooting heroin not soon after. Eventually, Alison contracted HIV - the virus that causes AIDS.
When Mariah learned of the news, she cried and cried, but could not do anything about it. Alison continued to do drugs. Alison had a 7-year-old son named Michael, and Mariah and her mother did not feel that he was growing up in a safe environment with drug dealers around. So one day when Alison's son was visiting Patricia in 1995, they wouldn't return him. Alison then took her own mother and sister to court, claiming that they "kidnapped" her son. Alison and Patricia were given joint custody of the Michael. Today, Michael lives with his grandmother.
Whether out of revenge or hatred or greed or whatever, Alison then wrote a book, helped by a guy named Vincent Presto. According to Vincent, "Her motivation in writing the book in not revenge. But after being branded everything from a scarlet woman to a bad mother, she wants to set the record straight." (yeah right)
Among other things, the book claims that money from Alison's prostitution helped Mariah and Patricia live through tough times, that she helped launch Mariah's career by buying her stage clothes and giving her money for food and rent, that Alison's lifestyle paid for the limo which took Mariah to her first singing audition, that one of Mariah's former boyfriends was a convicted drug dealer who tried to win her back from jail, and that Alison was sexually abused from the age of 5 by neighbors and a doctor (Sunday Mirror, 5/19/96).
Alison further states that her entire family disowned her when they learned of her "job," even though she used the money from it to support them. And now, Alison claims, Mariah has turned her back on her when she needs her the most, like when she was kicked out of her apartment for failing to pay the rent. But many people close to Mariah says that she had done everything she could to rescue her sister, but only ended the relationship when Alison continuously went back to drugs.
So far, the book has not found a publisher (could it be because it is a total lie?...hmmm) and I hope it never does. It is totally appalling how someone could write dirt on her own sister just to make money. It's bad enough that Mariah has been used for profit by other people, but your own sister!! Apparently, Alison still hasn't learned from her life of prostitution and drug-addition. Alison claims that her family has abandoned her, but how can her family help her if she refuses to help herself? I don't believe that a person as kind as Mariah who dedicated her first ever album to Alison would forget about her without good reason. If I had a sister like Alison, I would not have been so patient, but would have abandoned her long ago. In the off chance that the book does find a publisher, I just wish it will not convince anyone that it has any truth to it and that Alison fails miserably in her attempt at making money.
oh yeah, back to me. one client tonight. british, upper east side. i really hope he becomes a regular. i haven't had a regular who was good for friday nights since p. might write more about the session later.
