I think Marylin Manson and his girl Dita Von Teese would make the most amazing Icon collection! In fact, I'm so into my own idea I might even make a mock-up visual and post it to MAC!
Do you think the collection would sell though?

Bjork for sure (she is really creative, love her music and style!) and Moby. Moby is soo hot, I'd love to see him with lots of black mascara and a decent nude-pink gloss. This would break his nerdy image...
And I think, the singer of Depeche Mode would look awesome with dark, matte l/s.

David Bowie would be my number one choice...they could do him and Iman together. Tori Amos second. Katie Holmes, Kate Hudson and Scarlet Johanssen, because they are all beautiful, classic looking girls and I think if MAC got ahold of them it would be fun to see how different they look.

The Icons so far have all been older. My guess is that 50 would be the minimum age. The Icon collection demonstrates MAC's inclusivity and their commitment to the "All ages" part of their motto.
While I think Gwen and Bjork would be great candidates for other MAC collections, I don't think they fit into what MAC is trying to do with the Icon collection.
David Bowie would be my top choice. Other strong candidates: Dolly Parton, Elizabeth Taylor, Isabella Rossellini.

I'd go with;
- Laura Harring
- More of Linda Evangelista please
- More of Boy George please
- Naomi Campbell
- Let's have Ru Paul back too, he was fun!
- Kylie Minogue because my list is lacking a feisty blonde

Well that and the status of Icon implies that it's a person that has withstood the test of time and in someone is representative of a time, a movement, a genre, etc. The definition of a cultural icon is someone or something that has served as an important and enduring symbol. Not just someone who is pretty, glam or popular. For that reason, I think I'd object if anyone under 40 were chosen to make an Icon collection for. People like (say) Kate Hudson, Angelina Jolie, Beyonce or Scarlett Johansson may be icons in the making, but they haven't paid their dues to ascend to that level yet. Naming them as icons just seems as wrong as when critics call new movies or novels "instant classics!" It's oxymoronic!
As for my pics, I gotta second the choices of Cher, David Bowie & Debbie Harry and add Helen Mirren & Susan Lucci (LOL the latter because we need a soap queen in here somewhere!).

Right, I'm off to design the Marylin/Dita collection then! I reckon it would fly off the shelves..just imagine how much the visuals would rock!!
