I am not totally impressed about Aretha Franklin. It's nice that its a real diva, a true icon, great singer, inspiration etc.. but I just can't see where they will be going with this collection.. though it probably will be nice (its MAC)

I think if Amy winehouse wasn't so messed she could be a front runner.. to me (her minus the drama, drugs etc) is icon status.
would have also liked......... Tori Amos, Mariah, uhhhh a tribute to Billie, Ella, Dinah.. or other old jazz singers. That would be classic.

I agree. Totally. Tina Turner would have been better IMO! I am not dissing on Aretha Franklin at all I just think MAC missed the mark that's all. If the makeup is awesome I'll buy it regardless.

OMG! Tish you make me laugh like a crazy person. I love reading your posts. and yes, again I agree with you. remember the weird hairdo she was sporting last year at some award show?
She's an Icon in the music world, but damn, MAC picks the most out there people.

Raspberry Beret l/s
Darling Nicky Beauty Powder (for that special glow)
Purple Rain e/s
Pop Life l/g
Little Red Corvette l/s
Erotic City p/p

I'm still bummed. They could have called it "The Cosmetic Line Formerly Known As MAC". That would have been awesome.

Where have u been all my life? I would DIE. I love Prince! And that is such a cute idea....!!!!

Don't Jehovah's Witnesses have something against makeup and vanity? If anything, I'm sure the Prince of now wouldn't agree to it.

Besides, if we're going for men in makeup, it should be Bowie. He was a pioneer, even for Prince I'm sure.

ITA I think a Bowie icon collection would be amazing!

There's a difference between an iconic artist who just so happens to wear makeup, and an artist who has become iconic for not only they're talent, but what they've presented aesthetically to the world. Diana Ross made sense because, despite her recent clown like appearance, she's got a definitive visual aesthetic.

it would be great, but knowing how Iman has her own cosmetics line, i doubt Bowie would agree to do an icon collection with mac

^... Read my post again there. I think I explained it pretty well.

>_>

By the way, Iman sucked the cool out of Bowie. They're both gorgeous, but now they seem really boring.

My dear rbella, I'm afraid I must politely (or impolitely, as the case may be), disagree with you.

*clears throat*

FUCK. PRINCE.

Joe. My. God.: Prince Comes Out (As Anti-Gay)

After that I'm pretty confident MAC would never, will never, have anything to do with him. MAC loves them some gays.
