R.I.P. Mr. Blackwell

Mr. Blackwell, creator of the annual 'worst dressed list' and Britney Spears' worst nightmare, died today due to complications of an intestinal infection at the age of 86. He was survived by his partner of 60 years, Spencer. Although I don't agree with all of his choices of 'worst dressed' year to year (Sophia Lauren, Madonna, Lisa Bonet, Vicky B etc.), I do enjoy the quips that come along with his choices.
