Remembering Mr. Blackwell

November 2, 2008 by WendyB

Fashion critic Mr. Blackwell died last month, aged 86. As I previously mentioned, Mr. Blackwell was a pretty interesting designer before he decided to specialize in writing bitchy rhymes about “worst dressed” women. Anyway, there’s a beautiful, gown-like Mr. Blackwell jumpsuit available on eBay. Check it out here.

    Gee, this makes me wish for a genie-with-three-wishes for my very own. Then I’d be slimmer, taller and richer! And I bid on this beauty.
