Ok, just kidding just kidding

Let’s talk about her style.

13. Seriously. It’s like she was in the White Stripes or something

14. One puffy shoulder print down with a daring slit? Yes.

16. But then back to red

17. Check out this slinky dress, dayum

19. Werk that red velvet gown, gurl

20. The only time she doesn’t wear red is for full formalwear

34. She’s got a sick slapshot

35. Ok, not the greatest pitch, but…

36. She can jiitterbug

      Also known for sucking her way through Hollywood and giving Sinatra a blowjob in the oval office. Also responsible for the War on Drugs that has cost the US billions in taxes and incarcerations. Fuck her and fuck Ronald, who refused to fund AIDS research because he was a bigot. He’s also the genius responsible for the trickle down economic theory that the Right continues to insist upon despite the destruction of the middle class. The Reagans are responsible for a lot of serious problems that plague this country to this day.

      She and her husband helped turn America from the great country it was on track to becoming to the comparative shithole it is today.  And maybe it’s just the fact that she helped start the War on Drugs which ruined more lives and did far more harm than drugs themselves ever could have, and the fact that her husband’s presidency paved the way for the nightmare that is the modern American right wing, but I just get kind of a Dolores Umbridge vibe from her.

      I love #15 as an outfit. An all-black chevron fabric dress and pearls? YES

      She was a nut.
      “In his 1988 memoirs, Regan wrote about Nancy’s consultations with the astrologer, the first public mention of them, which resulted in embarrassment for the First Lady.[119] Nancy later wrote, “Astrology was simply one of the ways I coped with the fear I felt after my husband almost died… Was astrology one of the reasons [further attempts did not occur]? I don’t really believe it was, but I don’t really believe it wasn’t.”
