My no-hold-barred, tell-it-like-it-is list of the fiercest, most fashionable First Ladies of all time after the jump. I think you’ll be SHOCKED by who made the list and who didn’t.

5) Yes, Jackie is at number five. No, we aren’t counting upwards. I just think she’s over-rated as a First Lady, that’s all. Sure, she brought peddle-pushers and ballet flats to the White House – but really, what’s so great about peddle pushers and ballet flats? And between her goo-goo little girl voice and the “aren’t-I-clever” boarding school French, I sometimes just want to throw up. I MUCH prefer the manic, point-and-charge “I’ll-take-ten-in-every-color” Hurricane Jackie O of the ‘70s, blowing through the upscale dress shops of Athens, Rome, and Capri, filling the hole in her loveless marriage to Aristotle Onassis with MORE jewelry, MORE clothes, all the while her sunglasses kept getting bigger and bigger – OH! YES! That’s MY Jackie. The Jackie of the disco era who hung out with Truman and Andy and went to the premiere of Deep Throat. Hell, I’ll even take dilettante Book Editor Jackie over First Lady Jackie any day, THAT’S how strongly I feel about it. So number five she is.

4) Lady Bird Johnson. We had a First Lady called Lady Bird. Who did A LOT of gardening. And feuded with Eartha Kitt. That’s all.

3) The criminally underappreciated Pat Nixon. She’s been unfortunately tarred with the same brush that painted her husband, I suspect, but was actually quite the fashion icon. The very embodiment of that early ‘70s/mother-of-the-bride chic that I love so much (and she was a LEGENDARY mother of the bride, see pic above). As the country dissolved into chaos and social unrest and hippyism – and the kids stopped washing their hair and wore peasant dresses and granny glasses, yuck – Pat was a class act and stayed prim and buttoned up for her country’s sake. THANK YOU FOR THAT! And when the scandal of Watergate hit, Pat knew that looking proper and putting her best foot forward was the way to rise above it. Way to keep your head held high, honey!

2) Nancy! Nancy! Nancy! WHAT a woman! Not since Eva Peron has anyone worked so hard, climbed so high, and held on with such tenacity! Has there ever been a first lady who so perfectly epitomized the era in which she ruled? Never. And make no mistake about it, Nancy WAS America’s ruler for eight opulent years of Republican glory. In the greed-is-good age of conspicuous consumption, Nancy was THE supreme tastemaker and social arbiter. She opened the White House doors to the glittery doyennes of New York’s nouvelle society who, in return, made her their queen. Her reign was full of THEATER! DRAMA! GLAMOUR! And those wonderful BLOOD RED ADOLFO SUITS FOR DAY! She was the brittle yang to Jackie Kennedy’s yin. Whereas Jackie’s brand of chic was easy-breezy and to the manner born, Nancy came by her sense of style through sheer determination. She fought her way up from the Hollywood trenches, BY GOD, and treated this as THE ROLE OF A LIFETIME. When she walked through those White House doors it was NOUVEAU RICHE IN DA HOUSE, BITCH. Sèvres chafing dishes for everyone! Sure she was a horrible harpy and a soulless human being –and if you were gay in the ‘80s you no doubt hated the Reagan administration for their homophobic non-response to the AIDS epidemic – but think of Nancy as an unwritten Andrew Lloyd Weber musical. Maybe then you’ll able to see her for what she is: One of the great camp figures of the 20th century. Remember, it took 240 years and Kirsten Dunst to make Marie Antoinette fun again.

And my NUMBER ONE favorite First Lady:

You probably thought I was going to go with one of the obvious choices like Dolly Madison or Edith Wilson or, hell, even crazy old Mary Todd Lincoln. But no. I’m going with my girl Mamie Eisenhower. Just look at that ugly little face! I love her SO MUCH! She looks like a turtle with a merkin on its head! I want to hug her and squeeze her and tell her looks aren’t everything. But she knew that. She was fine with who she was. She doesn’t try and hide her ugliness or gussy it up. No. She rolled those bangs up as high as she could and exposed as much of that billboard forehead as she pleased. You think to yourself: Maybe if she tried sausage curls or peekaboo bangs or perhaps a cunning hat? But that’s not Mamie’s style. And to her eternal credit, she made that hideous hairdo into THE de facto look of the ’50s. EVERYONE copied her. Think about Joan Crawford and Bette Davis and Jane Wyman and June Allison and every TV mom of that period. They were ALL sporting the Mamie bangs. Why, even Bettie Page and Joey Arias owe a debt to my lady-lover! So. What do I take away from that? The knowledge that you don’t need to be young and beautiful to start trends or be in vogue. Even us ugly, old gals can still have our day in the sun. Thank you, darling Mamie. I’ll always love you most of all! YAY!

Go ahead, yell at me on Twitter @JSJdarling or Facebook for including Nancy Reagan (and calling Mamie ugly), then tell me YOUR favorite first lady. And for the record, I love Michelle Obama, but I need some historical distance to judge her properly. Let’s talk in five years and see if her shadow is bigger or smaller.

The Kamine Zoo in Hitachi, Japan has started selling jeans that have been gnawed on by their lions, tigers and bears as part of a fundraiser. Large sheets of denim were wrapped around objects like tires, logs and rubber balls for the animals to chew on. The deliberately torn material was then sewn into what they’re calling “Zoo Jeans” and are to be sold at auction to raise money for the animals. No price has been set for the jeans yet, but the annoying hipster in me is screaming “MUST! HAVE! LION-CHEWED JEANS! AT ANY COST!” (Of course, you could probably rub hamburger on your jeans and just let your dog gnaw on them for the same effect.)

Exciting news MDL fans! The franchise is expanding to include the City by the Bay! Picture it: Billion-dollar lofts with views of the Golden Gate, Nob Hill socialites bickering over price-per-square-footage, and hidden architectural gems in the Haight! It’s going to be MAJOR!

Following the fourth season renewal and first Emmy nomination for Million Dollar Listing New York, Bravo is expanding into a fourth city: San Francisco. Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles returns Aug. 20 at 9/8c and Miami is currently airing Wednesdays at 9/8c. World of Wonder produces the “MDL” series. (via The Wrap)

Goths rejoice! Scientists in Britain have discovered the BLACKEST material known to man – called Vantablack – and it’s so dark you can’t even see it! According to The Independent:

A British company has produced a “strange, alien” material so black that it absorbs all but 0.035 per cent of visual light, setting a new world record. To stare at the “super black” coating made of carbon nanotubes – each 10,000 times thinner than a human hair – is an odd experience. It is so dark that the human eye cannot understand what it is seeing. Shapes and contours are lost, leaving nothing but an apparent abyss.

If it was used to make one of Chanel’s little black dresses, the wearer’s head and limbs might appear to float incorporeally around a dress-shaped hole.

Actual applications are more serious, enabling astronomical cameras, telescopes and infrared scanning systems to function more effectively. Then there are the military uses that the material’s maker, Surrey NanoSystems, is not allowed to discuss.

Although I’m sure it’ll be a Topshop next season.

Bravo announced today that Million Dollar Listing will be coming to a city at the heart of international luxury real estate: San Francisco!  Why San Francisco? Well to start, the SF Bay Area luxury home market is unlike any other in the world, coupling distinctly modern skyscrapers and townhouses perched atop jaw-dropping hills. Ca-ching!  The city’s luxury home market has exploded from pre-recession sales (741 sales last year vs. 425 in 2007, up 75%) and recently San Francisco was ranked the #5 most expensive housing market in America. Also, 4 out of the top 10 most expensive zip codes are located in the SF Bay Area. It’s no wonder that this city has realtors flocking and producers calling.  San Francisco will make for a fascinating addition to the diverse group of cities already in the MDL mix.

Check out the photos below from Bravo’s TCA panel today at the Beverly Hilton, with Executive Producer Randy Barbato and MDL cast members Luis D. Ortiz, Josh Flagg, Josh Altman, Samantha DeBianchi, and Chris Leavitt. Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles premiered on Bravo in 2006, and since then has spawned two successful spinoffs: Million Dollar Listing New York and Million Dollar Listing Miami. Over the last 8 years of filming, a staggering $740+ million in transactions have been covered with over 370 properties featured across all series.  Million Dollar Listing will now reign in 4 out of the 5 top luxury real estate markets in America.

Randy Barbato shared some insight into what makes Million Dollar Listing so successful and unique:

“It is really unusual in the world of both reality TV and real estate TV to not know what you’re going to end up with and spend a year waiting for a call or waiting for a deal to close.”

When nature KILLS: Artist Christopher Schulz has created a series of polished stainless steel sculptures of guns shaped like sharks. RAR. They don’t actually shoot, but i’m sure some clever criminal can jimmy-rig one for me so I can be the mad supervillain of my dreams. WATCH OUT, AQUAMAN! TIDEMASTER JAMES IS COMING FOR YOU! Bwahahaha

From top to bottom: Leopard AR, Tiger MG3, Blue AK, White Tip Uzzi, and a Raygun (GET IT?).

From artsy: [Schulz's sculptures] are ironic, hybrid objects that conflate sharks and firearms. Lethal and gleaming, they are cast in marine-grade stainless steel, a high quality material known to maintain a glossy finish over time. There is a softness to the contouring of the figures, which lends a futuristic, sci-fi feel to the works—almost as though we are witnessing a gun transform into a shark—while their polished surfaces reflect the environment around them, contributing to their slippery allure.

Though somewhat absurd in concept, the visual correlation between these two objects makes for surprisingly poignant works; the fins of the shark align like the sights on a rifle barrel and, just as these alpha predators dominate their territory, so do those who wield weapons. Whereas the shark’s nature grants it a position of power, though, the gun operator claims control by triumphing over nature.

Each work is moderate in scale, like Blue AK (2013), which, at just under four feet in length, is the size of a small shark. The larger Tiger MG3 is slightly more imposing, measuring close to six feet in length—still small enough to maintain a sort of preciousness that might be lost on grander proportions. Possessing tremendous magnetism, Schulz’s fierce forms draw viewers in, irresistibly. Invoking two entities that inspire awe and fear, and merging them into one form, Schulz asks what the future may hold in a world where nature seems increasingly subject to our urge for control.

Seattle-based rapper Grieves has an intriguing sound that’s been described as “thoughtful,” “revealing,”  and “a musically-inclined brand of independent hip-hop” Now, you know me, I don’t usually give these blue-eyed rappers the time of day, but something about this song has gotten into my head. I like it. I like the instrumental hook and the subject matter (he sings about being grumpy and wanting to be left alone).

He tells 2DopeBoyz about the song’s lyrics: “‘Recluse’ is a song that stems from these crazy-ass hangovers I get. The older I get, the worse they become. They shouldn’t have made whiskey taste so good.”

I hear ya, babe. I’ve been there. We all have. Listen to it below. Give it a couple of minutes – at least until the chorus – I promise, it grows on you. (And that’s a killer bridge at 2:20 – WOW).

“The bad thoughts and the whiskey are better company than bullshit. So just leave it and go.”

What an afternoon! What a Transformation! You’re going to ABSOLUTELY FALL IN LOVE with makeup magician NoJustHenry, he’s one of the most interesting people we’ve ever had on Transformations.

And you should see the stuff that ended on the cutting room floor! Why, this episode could have run TWO HOURS and there’d still be stories left untold. The final look is sort of a tremulous fairy emerging from the skull of a very glamorous cyborg. Iloveit.
