Create Your Own Color Story...

[katie_070405]

Ok....I'm extremely tired and am not awake enough to think of actual "colors" for my collection but, I do have names.
Someone else can decide which are l/s, l/g, e/s, or piggies.

My ICON is Julie Newmar

Catwoman
The Original
My Living Doll
Damn Yankees
Nudemar
Wong Foo
Julie

 

[bellaetoile]

is it sad that all of these fantasy icon collections sound much better than the ACTUAL icon collections?

 

[girlstar]

Okay.. this sounds like fun...

Mine would be Marilyn Monroe.

(They don't have to be alive, do they?)

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes Quad
Beauty Marked - A deep blackened red with a sparkle/twilight effect (Velvet)

ohhhhhhh gooooooodddddddd
i would die if they made her an icon,i would wear that shit to work EVERY day

 

[GalleyGirl]

I wish they'd do one with Lucille Ball as an icon. What I love about her is that she was a beautiful woman who wasn't afraid of physical comedy. Plus "I Love Lucy" showed everyday life as something that could be an adventure, and not a mundane routine..And finally it would be really cool to have a lipglass named "Vitametavegimin"

My point was that these Icon collections are designed to celebrate truly iconic status; MAC are careful to select stars who fit the bill and the vast majority of names on this list would not even begin to meet their criteria. And yes, other celebrities have endorsed Viva Glam but to my knowledge only icons have had their own specific collections, (with the exception of a few really exclusive items/collections, which have generally been region specific, such as S & Blue, Y & Kei, the Mexico exclusive lipstick I've forgotten the name of, Temperley, Luella, Fantasia etc.). And whilst the younger MAC supporters here would, I am sure, like ALL MAC collections to be entirely geared towards them and advertised by their current favourite celebrities, MAC takes the stance of All Ages, All Races, All Sexes. And I for one am glad that they devote at least one collection a year to more mature makeup lovers and to genuine idols who really do deserve their status. Personally I think it's pretty insulting to the likes of Catherine Deneuve and Raquel Welch to imply they can be compared to the likes of Paris Hilton and J.Lo!

I think perhaps you've missed MY point. This wasn't a "name your own Icon" thread. It was a create a color story idea thread. My color story just happened to be based on the layout of an Icon collection, similar to the Diana, Liza, and Catherine collections. Nobody's comparing younger celebrities to these women. I couldn't even put them in the same category, but it was MY personal idea to eventually see someone like Christina Aguilera or Mary J Blige used as an icon. I would hardly call either of them a "Flash In The Pan" or a "no Impact whatsoever" icon. But, since all of the icons thus far have been older, more mature women, it would be nice to see one a little bit younger. The older women come from different generations, different looks were popular, different products were available. It would be nice to see a collection based on a more modern person. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the previous Icon collections. And there's also absolutely nothing wrong with us being creative and coming up with ideas that we would enjoy seeing from our favorite cosmetic line sometime in the future. We're not deliberately trying to insult the previous icon, hell I didn't think there would be so many hypothetical Icon Color Story ideas, I was just thinking of general collections, like Lure/Bait/Hooked, Culturebloom, A different Holiday Collection perhaps. But you're definitely being closed minded by saying that you loathe the view of the youth or whatever it was you said about it, but at the same time hypocritically expecting us to be open minded by wanting all the Icons to be more mature figures.
And it's not the first time you've caused a stir in a color story thread, i recall you and Alan going back and forth over whether Sweetie Cake was a prom collection or not, and according to you, it's not a prom collection because only 16-18 year old girls go to prom and MAC is "All Ages, All Races, All Sexes." We know what MAC stands for, you don't have to keep declaring their viewpoint to get your point across. But you're definitely showing us your age and how uncomfortable you might be with it by coming into threads and slamming ALL AGES in members' faces. This was just meant for people to let their creativity shine. If you want an older Icon, then pick one and participate in the thread by posting your ideas. I'm sure people would respect it and not step on your creativity like you're doing right now.

What would your MAC theme be?

You know how they have had MAC for Playboy, MAC for the Girl Next Door, MAC for Barbie etc what would your theme be and give me some colors baby!

Here is mine:

[betseyjohnson]

thats all i can think of for now.
part of the money could be for breast cancer as well since she does a lot of work for that! I would die if they ever came up with a collection!

 

[lsperry]

Mac_Pixie04 did something similar to this thread: http://www.specktra.net/showthread.php?t=56392

I'm a huge Trek fan -- having bought all of the original Star Trek episodes in the 80s on VHS tapes. Guess I need to transfer them to DVD sometime soon! LOL

youbeabitch and betseyjohnson - Love your themes! But one thing youbeabitch; you have to have an Uhura palette for the neutral-cateye/nude lip look she always wore! Now, that would be awesome!! Please tell me you e-mailed your theme to MAC!! I don't know which I would buy first -- the action figures or the make-up! LOL

 

[SARAHluvsMAC]

this is hilarious, but sounds pretty!

 

[amoona]

I totally think Christina Aguilera would be an amazing icon one day!

ShadowyLady your collections kick ass. How much?! lol

AND I LOVE the Marilyn Monroe collection to death! I want it.

 

[Hawkeye]

Yes, I forgot that Mac Pixie did something similar! Oops. :/ I hope she doesn't mind! She's a sweetie so hopefully she won't.

Ahh the Uhura Face Palette! Hmm that name will be difficult to come up with how about this: And it will be in the shape of a Communicator!

Contact Starfleet Command Lt.....


United States of Africa-a soft pale flesh colored brown (That's where Uhura is from folks-not trying to be cute)
Chief Communications Officer-A deep blackened brown (for brows and liner!)
Freedom-A nudish white
Tunic-A baby Pink
Girlie (whatever color that is on the mac site LOL)

Swahili blush- a peachy color with a pink enterprise on it.
Coygirl Blush - (Whatever color that is on the site)

Lips:
Cap't-I'm picking up a signal- A YLBB Lipstick
Interacial Kiss (She and bill shatner did the first one on prime time! GO NICHELLE!) a pinked brown creame
Bridge to Capt Kirk: A shimmery white lipgloss
Nichelle Nicholes: A beautiful brown taupe bronze color

Now some interesting history on Mrs. Nicholes-a lot of people were giving her flack for being black on the show (along with Mr. Sulu and Scotty) and she wanted to quit. But before she could she got a phone call from the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King telling her he enjoyed the show and she was doing a lot of good work. Boy was he right! She broke down barriers left and right!

 

[Hawkeye]

And I LOVE YOUR Betsey Johnson Collection!!! I would buy that in a heart beat! I am not a betsey fan but I love the colors *holds out charge card*
