New Viva Glam spokespeople for 2012

[pemily]

ive got to say I am a little disappointed, Although Ricky Martin is fantastic... hes not exactly at the "peak" of his career and Nicki Minaj was previously used for something... I am ALL for a male its something different..

I think that Ricky's will be a BRIGHT red..... hoping Nicki's is not Pink Friday as i already have that and I want to support the cause!!! (dont think it will be anyway as that is called Pink Friday and it needs to be Viva Glam Nicki right?!?!?)

 

[Mac-Guy]

As long as they don't put Ricky in drag, I'm o.k. with it. A manstick would be nice though.

I still think he is a good fit due to his engagement in a variety of public service activities.




Don't mean to sound so contrary, but if by that you mean way back people did not believe he was gay? I would have to disagree. I think it was pretty clear from the get go when "Livin' La Vida Loca" hit big.

I am glad that they are having a gay man and we've not had a man for quite a few years. I think having a male will add to the appeal and perhaps bring in some interest of new people to the cause which is what this is all about. Also artistically having a male and female they should be able to get really creative and have some great promo pics and ad campaign.

I stopped by one of the counters today to get a backup of Clarity and the ma's were very disappointed that they chose him even the male ma's. They also thought MAC could have chosen someone more relevant. He would've been a good pick 10-12 years ago though.

Oh geez, talk about disaster. That space is only for Rupaul She/He is amazing, love to see him again. But of course always good to have new faces.

hahha. i think he was being sarcastic dear, so yup!

 

[shadowaddict]

^^^Yes, after I re-read that it hit me that he was being sarcastic and I thought ok that's gonna look stupid. My brain is on overload trying to pack. But yeh, what a shock.

I think you're right about Nicki's being a bright blue pink but maybe they'll change it up.

Heheh, yes, that was sarcasm.

Yeah, that's my feeling as well.
As I said in the early rumours thread, nude and light, bright pink? Boooooooring!

 

[mtrimier]

I think I'm all pinked and neutraled out; maybe there will be some color variety with this latest campaign. I'm curious as to what the promo images will look like more than anything else.

I love that MAC is using someone from the past to promote Viva Glam. In the same vein as using Cyndi Lauper I feel. Someone from the past, someone from the present.

I digress but I miss MAC's celebrity collections. We are so long over due for an Icon collection. Liza, Diana Ross, Raquel and Catherine Denuve had some bomb collections. Mac fell off that.

 

[shontay07108]

I can't wait to see the images that come from this, but I image I will have no interest in the shades that are created. Pink Friday was horrible, in my opinion. I don't expect Nicki to surprise us, so yeah. Ricky's color will probably be a nude like others have said and I have plenty of those. I'll sit this one out, most likely.

[/quote] I want a Bette Davis collection. All about the eyes. I would buy everything just because I love her.

I would love that. Elizabeth Taylor and Lena Horne would suite me just fine too.


If they put that same ugly Pink Friday lipstick out for Viva Glam I am going to be disappointed. They owe Viva Glam something better than that. I can't see MAC not creating something new for Viva Glam like they always have. Maybe they are glasses this time around, like Fergie's

 

[sinergy]

i was wondering about the pink friday/nicki thing also..if they did so well with gaga 1 would they put another hard to wear pink out? i didnt ever get pink friday so dont know how that looked but the gaga 1&2 are two of my fave lipsticks actually. . . . .. hmmmmm i hate being so anxious about seeing something lol..

i agree. i think ricky was a great choice

 

[SubwayDreaming]

Kelly Osbourne might be an interesting choice for Viva Glam!

I seriously cannot wait to see the promo pics! I'm so excited for this!! I surely hope the release something that's not completely dupey to Pink Friday as well.

I think the images will be amazing! I cannot wait to see ^_^
Also, A Bette Davis collection would be astounding!!! My mom would make her first Mac purchase is that ever was to release!

 

[Piarpreet]

i'd love that. I feel they shouldnt repeat people for viva glam. It gets annoying. Im sick of GAGA and well, nicki minaj... is cool and all and friday was not viva glam but...maybe they could chose better.

Kelly Osbourne might be an interesting choice for Viva Glam!
