MTV reports that Mariah Carey has been working on a children's book series since last summer to be entitled Automatic Princess. The series will explore the journey of a bi-racial orphan girl, and will be based on Mariah's own childhood experience as the daughter of a mixed race marriage. It's definitely a new direction for the woman who explained why she has an entire wardrobe just for her lingerie.
"I like lingerie that's lacy and normally white. But then I also love dressing up in pink lingerie -- and black is hot too. I have everything laid out in colours so I can pick them out quickly."
She added: "It's right off my bathroom so rather than going down to my main closet soaking wet, all dripping and nude, I decided to make a nice lingerie closet. That way I can jump out of my tub, run naked into the next room and put on a nice little number."
If she gets tired of writing #1 songs and children's books, she may have a future writing in a more adult genre.
