What is Claire an icon of?

Enidan · 23/01/13 - 15:52

Rylan said she was a gay icon. Representing what exactly? Cheesy pop music perhaps.
Do her fans just like the iconic image or do they like Claire for herself?

I don't know about her being a gay icon but when I was 10 she was one of my pop icons. I wouldn't say Claire is now iconic but she's probably meant something to a lot of young teeny bopping kids in the past.

How can she be iconic? Did she stand out much from the other members of Steps? surely if you grew up loving Steps it was all of them?

To be honest i dont see how she can be a gay icon

I loved Steps and I was a lot older than that when they were around..........:o

But wasn't a fan of one of them in particular and I can't say she has done anything to win me around in CBB at all, just whinges and cries.

Gluttony?

The best thing she had going for her in Steps was that she wasn't "H".

Drivel?

Rylan's just being an over the top fan. he's very much a stereotype where a cheesy pop group is FFFABULOUS!

Steps were big in the 90's and Claire seemed to get all the best lines, that's all.

"Icon" is a word that's so bandied around that's it's lost it's true meaning.

hoppyuppy · 23/01/13 - 16:23

She reminds me of a dolphin, perhaps she is a dolphin icon.:)

As is National Treasure;)...best not to give Rylan any ideas..

What she has done with her life will have made her a gay icon for many many people.

Let's take a chance on a happy ending
Turn the page and stop pretending
The past can stop a heart from mending
It's time to let go 'cos baby you know
Some things are better best forgotten

I just made that up

Knew this thread would quickly turn into another opportunity for Speidi fans make childish jokes about her weight and appearance.:yawn:

Well I meant Beluga whale but didn't want people to think I meant she is a whale.

She has a very pale complexion and looks like this:

Which I do agree is not on. Claire may not have set the house alight with her scintillating personality,(lets face it, who has) but enough already with the physical slagging, besides I really don't think Speidi fans have a leg to stand on regarding the physical attributes of their faves..:rolleyes:

See above, a dolphin isn't fat, that is why I didn't say whale.

She is the lesbian's favourite. [Looks round for a lesbian to confirm or deny this fact, but room is clean out of lesbians at the moment]

Astabgay - http://www.astabgay.com/Gay_Icons/steps.htm - (don't click unless you can tolerate a hideous, tinny rendition of a Steps song) does single the band out as gay icons, but not especially Claire.

BellaRosa · 23/01/13 - 16:41

I have gay friends on FB and she is a big gay icon. I don't get it either

When you think Madoona is a gay icon too .. bit of a difference.
