Nicki Minaj and Ricky Martin are the hot pink and motorcycle chic dynamic duo repping MAC Viva Glam 2012. The pop art advert was lensed by David LaChapelle
The $14 lipsticks branded Viva Glam Ricky and Viva Glam Nicki will go on sale in February. As usual, 100 percent of the proceeds will benefit the MAC AIDS Fund. The charity has raised $224 million for HIV/AIDS-related causes since 1994, reports the Daily Mail.
"Barbz, check out my #MACVivaGlam photo w/@ricky_martin on Facebook! Lipstick’s out in Feb–buy 1 save a life!" tweeted Minaj.
The superstars replace Lady Gaga as brand ambassadors. Previous spokespersons have included Fergie, Naomi Campbell, Cyndi Lauper, Mary J Blige and Lil Kim.
Lil Kim Clone

Larry: You know what's really tragic? Every time Nicki Minaj is mentioned on this blog re LGBT rights or AIDS ... and she is NOT mentioned often ... there are some silly comments comparing her to Lil Kim. Lil Kim's day was back in the 90s. She's over.
Kim did pave the way for Nicki and other female MCs. Kim also was a MAC spokesperson. But make no mistake: Lil Kim NEVER stood up for gay rights, trans youth, spoke out against gay bashing or harassment when she was popular. NEVER. Kim is a favorite on the black gay pride circuit now because those are the only people who are paying to see her. But Nicki has gone out of her way to support gays and trans kids so in that way she is NOT a Lil Kim clone.

I wonder if that hair color is natural.

@Faison-true words spoken!
Why can't people like them both?
