Thats funny. Those actually sound like perfect names for Urban Decay colors! I can see it now...Pete Doherty for Urban Decay

I think Julie Newmar (sp?) would be a great icon. So classicly beautiful. Great cheekbonesI

One NOT to have is the dude that sang "You spin me like a record" from Dead or Alive. He is now a she and "her" makeup is hideous. BLAHHHHH. - C

[emeraldeyez70]

Ohhhh - what about Lena Horn (sp?) she would be great as an icon. Beautiful stunning woman.

I also agree about David Bowie

Wish to have seen Freddie Mercury too. He was unique to say the least. =)

Would LOVE a Marilyn Monroe Collection all its own too. That would be awesome. -C

[lemurian]

Ooooh, Prince! I hadn't thought of him! He would be great.. purples galore

[peanut]

Best: How about Jaqueline Bisset? She's French, she's gorgeous and she's certainly been around long enough to be an icon!

[lara]

Two words: Anjelica Huston.

{Two words: Anjelica Huston.}

Could not agree more!

Best? Well, it would be nice to see Michelle Pfeiffer up there and possibly Joan Collins (who looks way better in real life than you might imagine)

Worst? Let's start with Britney Spears and continue the list with Paris Hilton, Michael Jackson, Victoria Beckham and Jocelyn Wildenstein.

So... I'm going to agree with Julie Newmar (omg, she looks great), Bettie Page or Helen Mirren. I'll actually put money on Mirren if she picks up the Best Actress oscar this year. Lauren Hutton would be great, too.

Worst? Ivanna Trump. Though who knows how old she is! Joan Rivers would definitely be a bad idea as well.

Helen Mirren would be great. I love her.

[GalleyGirl]

I have another worst, Janice Dickenson! She is so freakin obnoxious and tacky.

[Cosmopolitics]

I've got another worst, as well -- Kelly Osbourne.

[macslut]

Ana Matrionic of the Scissor Sisters. nuff said.

[contrabassoon]

Best: David Bowie(for the men AND the glam rockers), Dita Von Teese(even though she was with Nocturnelle), Zandra Rhodes (yes, beauty Icon NOT just a collection) Bjork, Marilyn Manson, and finally Jeffree Star.

And I adore Tina Turner too.

If Rick James wasn't passed over, I'd suggest him too! New glitters for sure, hahaha.

How could I forget about Siouxsie Sioux?? She wears enough make up, she's old enough, and she's defenetly and icon.
Nina Hagen....hmmmm I'm not too sure about her. She just doesn't have that "icon thing" that the Icons have. I don't know...

[talk2mesun]

Worst: Whitney Houston, HILLARY CLINTON ::ducks:: haha dont hate me hillary fans!

Best: Definitely Cher!!!, Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, Ellen DeGeneres!

Also....They've done "tint toons" and they've had Barbie now, I think they should do a Betty Boop collection! lol

[missshappyasss]

If they ever make Paris Hilton and icon Ill stop buying mac

[FrazzledOne]

I think an Icon should be over 50 so anyone under that age is a no-no IMHO. How about Susan Sarandon?

I would love to see Bowie or Bjork get a collection, especially the former; Nina Hagen as well. As much as I adore Dita, I think Manson's more iconic than her. Do I think he deserves his own collection? Nah.

As for Jeffree Star. Just...no.

[emilyjoy]

Gwen would be great!
Worst: Britney Spears lol

[MACgirl]

i agree with these ladies as icons: Pam grier, sophia loren, cher, madonna, and bjork. I think these ladies deserve to be an icon and thier collections would be amazing!!!!

[black mamba]

Best: Sophia Loren

Worst: Britney Spears

[Beauty Mark]

Worst: Courtney Love

Best: Betsy Johnson

I also think that Donatella Versace would be a horrible candidate!
She always looks so oily to me, when I see pics of her I always wonder if it's actually her or a wax replica! I'm also not a fan of Jennifer Lopez, she's almost on the hasbeen list, but that's just my opinion!

I think B.B. would be a really bad choice. She´s been campaigning hard for french right wing politician LePen these past years...

IMO, Gwen Stefani would make a great icon 10, 15 years from now...as would be Christina Aguilera.
For now I think Tina Turner would make a great icon..or Marilyn Monroe (do the icons have to be alive??) or Shirley McLaine, one of my favourite actresses.
Worst: Joanne Collins, Mariah Carey
