Hey!
maybe this subject has already been covered, but since we kinda lost track, I just thought it'd be fun to discuss who would be the best and worst candidate for MAC ICON.

Now, I don't know what makes a MAC ICON, is it the glamour, the charisma, the character?
So I think the worst possible candidate for MAC ICON would be Divine :

I know he's a man but still, he was a drag, he's dead now. I think Dee Snider from Twisted Sister is another one banned from the list of candidates for MAC ICON :

ok he's also a man, but in my opinion, the worst female candidate for MAC ICON would be Christina Aguilera, because she kinda look like Dee Snider on this pic!

I know she was part of the Viva Glam campaign...

as for the BEST candidate, I'd go with Gwen Stefani :

because she's talented, she's got style, she's got attitude, she's great!

So who are your picks for best/worst candidate for MAC ICON?

I think Tina Turner would make a great icon. Madonna could be interesting. Gwen could be fab too. Potentially even Barbara Streisand.

I'd really love to see someone who experiments with lots of looks, regardless of the result, and who embodies the MAC spirit.

My worst choices would be someone like Anna Nicole Smith (falling apart) or Donatella Versace (screams radioactive orange)

oooh how could I not think of Tina!!!
she's my childhood beauty icon!

V2LUCKY · 03-13-2005, 05:02 PM #4 (**permalink**)

Cher would be the GREATEST! I would LOVE to see a collection with her.
Now for the worst hmmmmm.......... maybe........I can't think of any right now I'll have to get back to you.

I totally agree on gwen stefani... but to me shes not really an "icon" (as in she hasnt been around for decades like liza and diana)... I definitley think she would be a great spokeswoman for viva glam though!

FemmeNoir · 03-13-2005, 08:44 PM #6 (**permalink**)

I agree with Gwen Stefani.

I would like to see Dolly Parton in the Icon series.

Even though I'm not a big fan, I think Cher would be a good one. Or Madonna.

ladybugz07 · 03-13-2005, 10:20 PM #8 (**permalink**)

Best: Madonna or Gwen Stefani
Worst: Mimi from the Drew Carey Show
Just my opinion... : P

Gwen would be awesome and in the music relm, I would add Tori Amos (but maybe I'm biased :P), of course she was great friends of Kevyn Aucoin and in all his books...so she's definitely able to be an Icon...and she does great work with RAINN

notevenjail · 03-13-2005, 11:21 PM #10 (**permalink**)

I would lurve Dolly Parton to be an icon!

Jessica · 03-13-2005, 11:25 PM #11 (**permalink**)

OOoooooooh Dolly, now that would be interesting!!

glitch · 03-13-2005, 11:54 PM #12 (**permalink**)

ooh cher or madonna would be awesome! I cant wait until the next icon!!

MizMac · 03-14-2005, 01:04 AM #13 (**permalink**)

I agree with Cher or Tina. They both rock. Btw Dee Snider is still alive and kicking. I think he is hording all the eyeliners I keep loosing!!

MACreation · 03-14-2005, 01:22 AM #14 (**permalink**)

BEST: I think I'd like to see gwen stefani, she's fabolous!! WORST: DEF michael jackson...no explanation needed

PnkCosmo · 03-14-2005, 01:41 AM #15 (**permalink**)

I'd love to see Cher, Tina, or Dolly!! Any of them could inspire some great collections!!

I'd also love to see Debbie Harry or Joan Jett; those collections would be rockin'!!

blepharisma · 03-14-2005, 11:34 AM #16 (**permalink**)

I agree that Gwen really shouldn't be considered an 'icon' quite yet... give her time!

I would like to see her in a VG campaign, tho.

I think Madonna would make a great ICON.

I also like the Debbie Harry & Joan Jett ideas...

Juneplum · 03-14-2005, 12:06 PM #17 (**permalink**)

madonna or tina turner would be awesome!!! cher too.. i agree that anna nicole smith would be horrible even tho she totally ROCKED when she was a guess girl.. gwen stefani DEFINITELY! in time she would be amazing! patti la belle would be good too.. mary j blige would be a good one too.. i just LOVE her..
on another note, my MAC ma told me the next viva glam campaign just added pamela anderson cos boy george dropped out..

leppy · 03-14-2005, 12:25 PM #18 (**permalink**)

Siouxsie or Debbie Harry would make me the most happy to see!

Tina would be a good choice as well.

Gwen, in time.. not yet.

Worst: Whitney Houston or Mariah Carey, Diana Ross was bad enough for hissy fitting diva types.

but realistically look at Liza and Diana...They are both hissy fit diva types..I think thats what being a Diva is all about lol..

I dont think that Christina Aguilara is a bad choice, shes got strong opinions and now that shes past the hoochie stage she actually looks nice.

I think Cher would love to do it, considering shes already a mac addict (have you seen the pics of her mac hauls?)

Whitney Houston is a Crack Head so shes the worst.

Tina Turner would be great ... shes been fabulous for 40+ years

If you really want to get into divas why not Patti Labelle or someone like that...lol

I was talking about Divine when I said that he was dead, Dee Snider is indeed alive, but he's not wearing makeup anymore, my guess would be that he sold it all to Christina :P

Lolita · 03-14-2005, 01:16 PM #21 (**permalink**)

oh man, Debby harry would be amazing!... but I dunno, she was gorgeous in the 70's and 80's, but I think her lifestyle has caught up with her, shes really showing her age :S but then again, I guess Liza is definitley a victim of that too. yikes.

Im torn on Christina. I'm not really a fan, but I think mac would be able to come up with some really creative, interesting and unique stuff for her. And like everybody else, I hate mariah, but I think I would probably like a collection inspired by her (im thinking warm shimmery neutrals, mmmm)

jamiemeng · 03-14-2005, 02:30 PM #22 (**permalink**)

Best:Gwen Stefani and maybe Dolly Parton
worst:Whitney Houston and Christina Aguilera.

blepharisma · 03-14-2005, 04:24 PM #23 (**permalink**)

They could do a group ICON set, with a punky edge... and combine Siouxie Sioux, Debbie Harry & Joan Jett.

That would be so hot.

They'd have to market lots of dark eyeliner with that group!

Coco_Hailey · 03-14-2005, 05:13 PM #24 (**permalink**)

I totally agree for Siouxie Sioux, Debbie Harry & Joan Jett, that would kick a**

and I prefer Madonna over Cher

Gwen is still young to be an icon, but she'd be great for VivaGlam

missunderstood · 03-14-2005, 05:35 PM #25 (**permalink**)

I think Gwen Stefani would be awesome. Maybe even Janet Jackson. J.Lo isn't quite an icon yet, but she would probably inspire some great colors. I think Cher would get a bit crazy, but it would be interesting to see what her collection would be.
