Richard Blackwell Dies, No One Left to Make Fun of Britney’s Outfits
Richard Blackwell, the fashion critic who once called Madonna “The Bare-Bottomed Bore of Babylon,” died this Sunday of intestinal complications at the age of 86. He founded the Ten Worst Dressed Women list, was a semi-popular fashion designer, and (literally) wrote the book on fashion disasters.
If life was a Russian novel by Gogol or Dostoevsky, it would come as no surprise that such an acidic tongue would ultimately be silenced by an infection of the bowels.
As it is not, let’s pay homage to the grandfather of snark with a couple of his more cutting zingers…
Another one of our great gay elders gone. Young gay men, you need to spend some time with your elderly gay brothers!! They have a lot to teach…
Blackwell will not be missed. What a bitter queen! I would not want to learn a thing from the J Edgar Hoover type gay. Good riddance to bad rubbish!
So sorry to hear that. I saw many people are discussing him on the forum of black dating site called *****bigblackconnect.com*****. You may go there to check it if you are interested. Actually, he’s a very respective old man.

Ok, that is just hilarious.
He was my neighbor when I lived in the Larchmont district…and used to cruise me rather intently at the Rite Aid.
Of course, he was quite old and his eyesight was probably failing…
Still, a nice old troll!
