Mr. Alexander, haven't drawn him in a while He's Mimi's old manager who had a big crush on her when he worked for her. I imagine he sounds like 2D from Gorillaz because I can just hear it.
I was gonna color this, then I was like “nah”

Why Mimi Shouldn't Be Edgy
Billy and Mimi were at an ice cream shop, and Billy was waiting for Mimi to get back with their ice cream.
“Thanks” said Mimi, taking the two cones, one was peanut butter, for Billy, the other was chocolate, for Mimi.
Then, a little kid walked by, and dropped his cone, and it went splat. Mimi saw, and leaned down to the kid’s level and handed him her ice cream. “Here, take it”
“Thank you!” said the kid running off.
Mimi sat at the table where Billy was and gave him his ice cream.
“What you did there was nice” said Billy “But it was too nice.”
“What do you mean?” Mimi asked, innocently
“Well ya see, Mimsy, in the music biz, in order to have a good rep you gotta be bad”
“Bad? What do you mean by bad?”
“You know how I am.”
“A total shoob?”
“No! I’m a bad boy!”
Mimi laughed loudly. “Oh ha ha, Billy…That’s a good one”
“No seriously Mimi, I’m a bad boy.”
“Oh-kay Billy…” said Mimi “But what do you mean by ‘you need to be more bad’?”
“You just aren’t edgy enough…You should dress edgier, and act like you don’t care. If you act like you don’t care, people will like you.”
“But people like me already…?”
“More people will like you” said Billy “Your fan base will grow! Just trust me, Mimsy, trust me.”
“I guess if you say so…But what does dressing edgy mean?”
“When we get home, I’ll look through your closet and tell you what’s edgy and what’s not edgy”
“Okay then…”

When they got home, Billy went through Mimi’s closet.
“No” He said throwing a pink sweater on her bed. “Definitely not” He said tossing away a bubblegum pink, puffy dress “Oh hell no!” He said tossing away a baby blue tank top “Do you only wear pastel colors? Do you want to look like an Easter egg with a mohawk?”
“You’re not going to make me wear a mohawk, are you?!” Mimi said, grabbing her hair protectively.
“Depends” said Billy tucking a pair of clippers into his back pocket. “Anyways, we need to take you shopping”
~
They went out shopping, and went into one store that had the latest fashion.
Billy picked up a bright turquoise tube top “This is edgy”
“That is a belt” Mimi replied
“No, it’s a tube top.”
“Tube top?”
“Just try it on!”
Mimi tried on the tube top.
“Billy…Is it supposed to show this much?”
“Yes….I think…”
Mimi came out in the bright turquoise tube top. “How do I look?”
“Hot--I mean edgy” Billy quickly corrected himself
Mimi blushed a bit. “Are you sure this is…Uh”
“I’m sure…You look great” Billy’s face was red. She looked so hot.
“I should…uh…change”
“Yeah…yeah”
An awkward moment later, Mimi was back in her normal clothes.
“Okay here’s the pants” Billy held up a pair of pants with the universe printed on them “the shoes” he held up boots.
“Okay”
He set the clothes down and walked over to Mimi, and pulled the actual hair bow out of her hair, and pulled her pigtails loose, causing her long strawberry blonde hair to fall onto her shoulders, like so.
“And wear your hair loose, to represent the fact that you’re a free woman.” said Billy, then he pulled out a pair of big black sunglasses and put them on her face. “And of course shades. Now show me your attitude face”
Mimi made an “I don’t give a shit” face.
“Perfect!” he said “Now tomorrow, go into that video shoot like you own the place, take no crap from anyone, and show them that YOU’RE in charge.
“But isn’t that a little…mean?”
“Mimi, you’re never gonna make it if you let them step all over you. Sometimes you gotta be bad.”
“If…If you say so…”
~
The next day, Mimi came into the video shoot in the bright turquoise tank top, universe pants, black boots, her hair loose, wearing the big shades, with hoop earrings, turquoise and pink bracelets, and a slightly darker shade of pink lipstick than usual.
“Marco, GET ME A LATTE!” Mimi yelled at her assistant, then realizing how mean she sounded, she turned around “I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to be so harsh!”
Billy, who was also in the video with her, for their mash up song, Number One Primadonna, came over.
“Mimi, you were doing so good, but then you apologized. C’mon, keep being a brat.”
“I was supposed to be harsh? But…It just doesn’t seem right….”
“Just listen to me, Mimsy” Billy said taking her hand “You were doing it right.”
“But…”
“Mimi, trust me.”
“Okay…”
Mimi walked off, over to her manager, Mr. Alexander. He was a tall British guy, with brown hair with a blond streak, and grey eyes like a storm. Mimi had a tiny crush on him, but he had an even bigger crush on her.
“Ah, Mimi, there you are.” He said
“Ayyy, lmao” Mimi said
“Uh…Yes….Anyways, we’re about to begin production and--”
“What is up with that streak in your hair?”
“I got it because I thought it looked cool--”
“And why do you always wear a scarf, it’s like 80 degrees out, like seriously….”
“Mimi--”
“And that hairstyle…What the hell”
“Mimi, what the bloody hell are you doing?”
“I’m being edgy, cool, bad”
“No, you’re being annoying. This isn’t you.”
“Well maybe it is, Karl. People change.”
“Billy did this, didn’t he?”
“Yes”
Mr. Alexander sighed, and face palmed. “Damn him…Just…Don’t do this anymore?”
“Uh…Okay…Does that mean I can take this top off?” Mimi asked, as she pulled the top off.
Mr. Alexander’s eyes widened and he blushed “Uh…Just…Uh….Put it back on and wear it until you get home….”
Mimi put the tube top back on. “Oh…okay.”
Mimi never acted “edgy” again.
