CAGE MATCH: JACKIE KENNEDY VS. NANCY REAGAN

This RUTHLESS CAGEMATCH is between Jackie Kennedy and Nancy Reagan to determine who decorated the White House better. (I saw this over at Jezebel and followed the link to Domino for the full set of pictures)

PLEASE CLICK TO ENLARGE THE PHOTOS SO AS TO FAIRLY SCORE THE DESIGNS

This is looking bleak for you, Jackie. As much as I love your hair and your sunglasses and your little white gloves; Nancy: 1, Jackie: 0 (omg JACKIE O GET IT)

Some might say that they dig your simplicity in classic white but I'm going to run with the fact that Nancy's decor is inviting and warm. Nancy: 2, Jackie: 0


This is a tough one, although it doesn't matter because Nancy just took 2 out of 3 anyway. While I love Nancy's use of pastels (the pink accents remind me of Marie Antoinette) I have to hand it to Jackie. Her red chairs and golden chandelier take the cake.

FINAL GUNSATHOME TALLY:

NANCY: 2, JACKIE: 1


your turn

Jackie Jackie Jackie. Nancy's looks like Joan Collins and Dynasty threw up everywhere. I think the photo quality adds a certain bias to the proceedings.

Jackie; Nancy; Jackie.
I judge by hoe comfortable the furniture looks.

1st: As much as I love Jackie's upholstery, Nancy's drapery is to die for. I love the mint green. It seems more cheery, yet classy and sophisticated.
NANCY

2nd: Once again, Nancy's drapery. LOVE IT. And her couches are bitchin'. I especially love the RR embellishments on the pillows.
NANCY

3rd: This one is a toughie. I think Jackie has the benefit of the doubt because the windows make the room. However, I like how the lighting in Nancy's is more sunshiney. Nevertheless, I fucking love windows.
JACKIE

sry Jackie O :(

Nancy wins. Though the crap Polaroidish 60's-era photo quality didn't do much for Jackie's decor, there was something about the proportions in Nancy's choices that rested better in my brain.

Nancy's subtle use of red accents and warm yellows blew me away-- sorry Jackie. I'd rather have played Barbies with you, doll.

1st one: You have to take into account that it's from different angles and therefore Nancy benefits from window shot. Jackie O's chairs & chandelier are much, much nicer. 1 goes to Jackie.

2nd one: Nancy has a horrible couch and big plant. Duh, for Jackie.

3rd one: Again, different angles, but and I like Jackies furnture wayy better.
Jackie: 3 Nancy: 0
And I'm not biased by administrations because I think Regan was a pretty good president.

Word Stef, Reagan sucked as a president. But his wife ruled as a decorator! My vote's to Nancy.

Katina said...

I want to hate Reagan because I very much love socialization but, I mean really, we saw the free market pwn in 80s with the Reagan administration. Plus, he's credited for bankrupting the soviet union.
But duh he did a lot of shitty things, too,
