I don't like Fergie or Gwen. It was bad enough seeing Eve for Viva Glam
Shakira might be a good choice. Or Nelly Furtado. Personally, I'm thinkin Nicole Scherzinger. Just cause I love her. And you can't go wrong with her.

Agreed on all counts.
I do think someone unexpected would do well though, like an Indian actress (Aishwarya Rai being out of the picture, as someone mentioned, with her L'Oreal gig).

I'm kinda chuckling reading this whole thread, wondering just who is "MAC worthy" and what defines it.
hello .. Amada Lepore! lol

Ew, no no no. I think she kind of looks like a chimpanzee. You'd have to do a whole lotta photoshopping to make her look like she doesn't belong in the circus with a cute lil' hat on its head standing next to an organ grinder.
That would be almost as bad as choosing Amy Winehouse. Yuck.
Now, for good candidates...if only Queen Latifah weren't a spokeswoman for Covergirl, or Aishwarya Rai for Loreal

I don't think Fergie should be the next VGV spokesmodel. Nor should Gwen. These are commercial artists. It's important to understand MAC: it's (or at least, it's trying to maintain) an underground feel, it's edgy, and it's not a commercial company. If you look at the past VGV spokespeople (Rupaul, KD Lang, Boy George, etc), they all share something in particular, and mainstream, commercial popularity has nothing to do with it. The VGV spokesmodels have always been particular. By choosing Fergie, it seems to me as if MAC is trying to appeal to a broader audience, thus reinforcing the commercial image it's been trying to avoid so far.
I disagree with Fergie being the next VG girl on so many levels. Honestly, for me, it's the equivalent of choosing Britney Spears, or even Rihanna, to be the next spokesmodel. It's just all so commercial.

^^^^^MAC makes me laugh because they are commercial but want people to think otherwise. It's not like they pic obscure people to put in their ads and promos. Everyone has been big stars - Mary J. Blige, Elton John, Lil' Kim, Eve, Dita Von Teese, Pamela Anderson, Christina Aguilera and many more. You gotta come better than that to convince people you are cutting edge and novel. They may have started out that way but those days are long gone.

I agree with you to a certain extent. Everyone MAC has chosen so far has seen stardom, however the vast majority of them have something a certain timelessness going on. MAC does need to choose people who are going to be recognized, yet there is a certain provocative particularity to each and every one of them. Some, such as Elton John for example, haven't contributed anything to the entertainment industry in years, yet they are candidates MAC take into consideration. Elton John, aside from campaigning for VG, has his own AIDS foundation. Rupaul, for example, was a huge deal, when the first VG campaign came out. It was provocative to feature a transexual, representing the AIDS foundation nonetheless. It caused a stir. Mary J. Blige, Lil' Kim, and Dita Von Teese, to name a few, are celebrities (A-List ones as well), yet there is something that sets them apart from the rest. They are different.
Fergie, as I said previously, doesn't seem to fit into that mold. She's the product of everything that is mainstream. The days of MAC being underground (and those were the days) might be long gone, but an effort is still being made to revive the roots, and everything MAC was based upon. In my opinion, choosing Fergie (or any other celebrity that has their own clothing line, their own perfume line, that can sing AND act too) is limiting MAC's progress towards that regression.
*Edit*:
I forgot to mention something. Choosing Fergie means putting her on the same pedestal as her predecessors. In which way does she live up to what Elton John, or Linda Evangelista have done for the company? It's choosing temporary popularity over timelessness.

Okay, then Mick Jaggar, lead singer for Aeo Smith or how about the two original guys in Kiss. Hey, they wear makeup. All of these guys are still rocking. Hmmmm
Sting is hot!

Hahaha yes, Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley for Viva Glam.
you know ... Paul could probably pull it off.
They're both so old they'd have to be "icons" though

Well, Elton John isn't Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds anymore either. I say give it to a guy now. They got too many women on there now. Let's come up with a Smoking hot man. YES!
I think Pam Anderson has been on M.A.C., before - Bombshell Pink lipstick is after her.
Gene Simmons has his name on two many things right now. I would rather Paul Stanley. Paul is fit too.
Maybe the younger crowd would like Justin Timberlake? I still say Sting is smoking. Hmm, I am still thinking.

Darn, I can't seem to import a pic.
Do they have to be living? The lead singer in Queen, Freddie Mercury, was sexy as it gets to me and he sadly died from AIDS. That man could sing literally anything. He was extremely talented. There are a lot of his songs that people haven't even heard.
I vote for him. He has a lot of good pictures that would be great. Hey, they are using old pictures of Elizabeth Taylor for inspiration for McQueen. Okay, I am at peace. It's Freddie Mercury. How can I load a good picture of him here?
Who hasn't heard of We Will Rock You or We Are The Champions? I Vote for Freddie Mercury hands down.
I can't think of anyone more appropriate. There are fantastic videos of him. The man dresses up too. He is perfection for this campaign. He will rock you MAC. Are you listening?

This man should be on Viva Glam (Sexy)
I just want to personally thank the poster who did the poll about M.A.C. choosing that Fregie (sp?). I don't agree with it, along with the other seventy something percent.
I feel very strongly about this campaign and I think this man would be perfect.
Some may not know Freddie Mercury, but they sure recognize the songs - We Will Rock You & We are the Champions. Many of his other songs with Queen are in many commercials. He had many other songs that were not so rock sounding and were beautiful.
Sadly, he did die an early death from complications of AIDS.
This man was sexy as it gets and he could put many of today's singers to shame, because he could also sing opera. You can find many of his videos and his contribution to the Live Aid concert on Youtube.com.
I am posting some pictures of him. BTW, my favorite song by him was - The Show Must Go On.

As for Viva Glam.
I would like to see someone more classy for a change, like Cate Blanchett or Kate Winslet. Fergie is a little too "tranny" looking IMO.
Roisin Murphy (singer of Moloko), Helena Christensen and Melissa Etheridge would also make great choices I think.
