I remember everyone (not necessarily on this board), having a problem with Pamela Anderson. Again, I don't adore Pam Anderson but she helped VG in a big way. I read that her image helped sell more units of VG than any other spokesperson. Not bad for a Playboy Bunny.
Again, Fergie's music makes me want to scoop out my eardrums with the end of a makeup brush (as does BEPs), and I find her incredibly boring but if she can help certain people identify with one of the spokespeople and buy VG, I still say rock on.

I completely agree. MAC is about the style of beauty. Fergie to me just doesn't embody the image that is MAC.
No offense to Fergie ... I totally dig her sound.

I really dont think its so much about embodying the 'MAC image' so much as raising awareness not only about AIDS, but also of MAC itself to a wider demographic. Each Viva Glam spokesperson comes from a very different background, each background representing a different cultural, or sub-cultural, demographic.
We may not all like MACs decision to go with Fergie as a rep for the line, but I can assure you MAC will have thought long and hard about who to pick, not about their beauty or their iconic status, but about the audience that individual can reach.
Dita has done here job, she reached her audience, Eve did it too, as did all the other spokespeople. They all did a brilliant job of it too, and now its Fergies turn to see what she can do for the cause by being the face of one of the cosmetics industries most recognisable charities.

Very well said. And if anything, VG is about people overcoming hardships and living day to day with one of the worst diseases in our lifetime, with help from everyday consumers. THAT's Fergie, straight up. She's overcome a lot. I personally think she's one of the best spokespersons MAC has chosen, besides Elton John and RuPaul.

Bickering about a spokesperson who will be selling AIDS relief. Sad. Calling someone ugly who will be helping out a great cause? Even sadder.

I'm not wild about Fergie, but I am excited about another Viva Glam product. I am in agreement w/ prior posts: no nude-like colors or too glittery. Time for something different yet universal.

OMG Women of Specktra! She is a spokesmodel for a VERY VERY VERY good cause and charity and some are talking about her manly appearance and her meth addiction and whatnot. Really? REALLY??
This is really shallow IMO. So you are against her and telling me that due to her appearance and her past she can't contribute to society and a devastating epidemic?? SO should a bum not allowed to be inside of a church and donate a quarter if he wants to, to the basket??
I always love coming to this forum because of the supportive group of women on here. In the deep thoughts forum, we have many threads reagrding drug addiction and women who talk about how they hate their appearance and have struggle with being accepted......and we don't want Fergie and are ready to trash her???
I am not saying that we are not entitled to our opinions but how can we build one female up and destroy another and be taken seriously???

*~*I agree...I actually like Fergie as a spokeswoman. No, she is not perfect but at the same time, she is supporting this great cause, so why is it such a big deal??? I'm just glad that there will be a new Viva Glam lipglass for me to buy & that I can support their AIDS fund at the same time.

gah. honestly- what is so great about fergie? i'm sure it's just because she has allll of the MAC senior artists with her on tour. she probably contributes a lot of business to MAC already, so in a business world, it was easier to go with her. almost like a thank you and they knew she would do well promoting the product cause that's all she uses already.
but gah...
hopefully they'll make her look like an actual feminine woman in the visuals

This could turn out very very nice, or horribly horribly wrong. =/ I'm so torn. I like Fergie, but I feel like she's not pretty enough/talented enough to represent MAC... I dunno. I saw her on the Tyra Banks show and she's very very down to Earth and a gentle sweetheart. I'll give her a chance. She's pretty good, I just feel like they're gonna have to photoshop her alot.

Quick search on Google. I didn't really get anything on Fergie in regards to AIDS besides her doing Viva Glam for MAC. I thought I ran into something, but it was actually the Dutchess, not the Fergie pop singer.

I don't like fergie in general, but I also don't feel like she's very glamourous... ever! I mean I look at the photos of Dita and Eve, and they look so classy and gorgeous, even outside of the Viva Glam photos. Fergie always manages to look pretty trashy. When you do a google image search the third image that pops up is her peeing her pants on stage.. :/
