that months trial to ICON is the most pointless thing ever Exactly. All you really get is some avatars and access to all the lunatic fans on the messageboard.

ICON is pointless. Except for Pop, all else had been crap. I made the mistake of joining in 1996 and, well it turned out I joined the Evita fan club instead. Every issue was Evita this/that, blah.

HEY - Snap I joined in 1996 also - there were 3 ICON's all about EVITA in a row which was pretty heavy going I guess, but it was soooooooooooo much better back then when Marcia Del Veccio was running it, everything used to come out on time (4 issues a year) and you were always getting freebies when you ordered stuff from the shop - the competitions were much better too - I won a personalised autograph (not one of the photocopies that you get with the member ship - but one actually signed by madge to me). Sadly Marcia died from cancer and the whole thing just seemed to slide (you only get one issue a year now). You used to be able to ring them up and speak to Marica personally and stuff - they all seemed to be fans themselves. They rely far too heavily on the website now which is rarely updated and put to shame by far better fansites such as drownedmadonna and madonnalicious who usually have news on tours etc... before madonna.com do. The only point in joining ICON is just to get tour tickets.
