Aw, jeez, very good point. That's a shame, I was looking forward to something like John Waters/Divine, the colors would've been beyond awesome, I'm sure.

Maybe Phyllis Diller isn't too out of the realm of possibility...She's campy, she wore her makeup in a way that was eye-catching and almost unique to her, and she wouldn't alienate any consumers? Wishful thinking, perhaps, but she's my guess. Joan Rivers would've been in the running for me too, but she has her own beauty line, right?

Re: Icon info anyone?

Um... somebody mentioned it was "campy" - does this mean that the Icon story is that new Asia Exclusive for the designer of Dress Camp?

Re: Icon info anyone?

I'm going to guess Bette Midler...she's old enough to have icon status and looks fantastic, plus she's definitely got some "camp" going on!

Looking forward to seeing the collection in the fall, whoever it is!

Actually that would be a very cool choice. I could just imagine the fun colors in a Bette collection. There would have to be a Bugle Boy lipstick.

Bette Midler would be amazing! I would hope MAC would name something, maybe an eyeshadow, Blueberry Pie.

Britney is hardly an "Icon" or old enough, and I don't think Janet is old enough yet.

Maybe someone like Carol Burnett or Vicki Lawrence? *trying to think of older women who could be possibly campy yet glamourous*

I LOVE Debbie Harry and would love to see her as the icon.

Re: Icon info anyone?

Britt Ekland would be fantastic too, her face is/was amazing.

OOhhh Bette Midler would be a great choice.. Saw her Oprah, she looked great!! What about Carol Channing? Her makeup is always interesting.

I think Phyllis is a shoe in too.

MAC 2008 Icon / Dame Edna Discussion

NO I DON'T KNOW WHO IT IS!! Sorry!!

This is the thread where we ask WHERE IS OUR ICON?

A few months ago I remember a member who said they were a part of MAC Corporate and therefore knows who our Icon is this year! She also mentioned that it was going to be released "Fall 08".

So will it be in July with our Sonic Chic and New View?
Will it be in August with our ElectroFlash?
In September with Cult of Cherry and Overrich perhaps?
Will it be with our Red She Said in October or November?

I am asking you, please, FESS UP! I want to know, no, I need to know!!

Who is our MAC ICON??

Re: MAC Icon Discussion 2008

one of my co-workers heard who it is, but she can't remember.

i'm trying to get her to remember, and as soon as she does, she'll let me know. all she remembers is that she's young. what "young" means to her i don't know. its so frustrating.
