The Co op boards are like "Old Ladies" @ a rap concert . They don't want too be there, Don't want too hear the music,& sure as hell don't want too see them anywhere near them ! As far as Mariah Carey's concerned if she didn't lead the lifestyle she does then their wouldn't be cause for them to reject her application . She arrived at a board inquire with her bodyguards ! Come on now what message does that send to the board . " I'm going to be a problem if you let me in here as you can plainly see, Those guys are here to protect me from all the crazies outside looking to take my picture and get an autograph . Do you really want that type of atmosphere in your building ?" At that, Why is she trying so hard to buy a Co op ? She's worth millions!!! Build your own Co op and be done with it .

Who cares? This affects none of us.

Mariah Carey is somewhat known for her less-than-successful dealings with co-op boards. She once showed up for her co-op review with a full complement of bodyguards and they were not well received. Also, Carey's broker suggested she tone down her wardrobe for her co-op review only to have her client arrive in a halter top and micro-miniskirt. When asked why she hadn't followed her instructions, Carey told her broker that this was what she wore to funerals.

no one has a "right" to buy into a building if they are not wanted by the shareholders, so what is the point of this? BTW, this guy, Hiram Monserrate, is the same guy that pushed a resolution honoring l. ron hubbard earlier

no doubt mariah is dying to kow why she was rejected by many a co-op board.
