Mr. Blackwell, the catty homosexual acerbic "designer" whose annual worst-dressed list skewered the fashion 
felonies of celebrities died at 86.
Dick (Seltzer - ouch!) Blackwell was a little-known dress designer when he issued his first tongue-in-cheek criticism of Hollywood fashion disasters in 1960. Year after year, he would take Hollywood's reigning stars and other celebrities to task for failing to dress in what he thought was the way they should. He was almost the first blogger, if you look at it that way. He leaves not much of a legacy other than some bitchy remarks about women. In his memory, some of his big shots:
Madonna: "The Bare-Bottomed Bore of Babylon."
Barbra Streisand: "She looks like a masculine Bride of Frankenstein."
Christina Aguilera: "A dazzling singer who puts good taste through the wardrobe wringer."
Meryl Streep: "She looks like a gypsy abandoned by a caravan."
Sharon Stone: "An over-the-hill Cruella DeVille."
Lindsay Lohan: "From adorable to deplorable."
Patti Davis: "Packs all the glamour of an old, worn-out sneaker."
Ann Margret: "A Hells Angel escapee who invaded the Ziegfeld Follies on a rainy night."
Camilla Parker-Bowles: "The Duchess of Dowdy."
Bjork: "She dances in the dark — and dresses there, too."
Spears: "Her bra-topped collection of Madonna rejects are pure fashion overkill."
Um...are we supposed to miss him?
