A few days ago, after I posted a piece on fashion tips, a blogger on the Internet speculated that just maybe I was going to follow in Mr. Blackwell's jaded couture footsteps.
Well, those are tough heels to fill!
The man was a whiz at caustic one-line jabs capable of sending any dour old puss into gales of laughter.
Let's face it, Mr. Blackwell artfully crafted exacting quips into a unique form of high-fashion Haiku - the effects of which - are still felt long after the style maven passed away into that great fashion house in the sky.
After reflecting upon the matter a tad - and encountering a handful of fashion disasters on the red carpet at the AFI Fest this past week in Tinsel Town - I've hastened to forge ahead and throw together a fashion victim list to premiere on January 1st (2009).
So - strutting starlets, Hollywood wannabees, and aging Divas - be forewarned.
Between now and then, I'll be scouring the Internet, gossip rags, and red carpets for candidates worthy of Fashion Icon Status - of the negative ilk - for my 1st Worst-Dressed list.
I may even saunter into the Villa or Koi after-hours to catch a disheveled celebrity or two in their natural habitat letting it all hang out!
At this juncture - the K-Mart bargain basement patterned sheet that actress Emma Thompson wrapped around her pudgy silhouette for the premiere of the new feature - "Last Chance Harvey" - is a prime contender for a sizzling hot spot front-row-and-center!
In addition to that tacky misstep, a fashion burp worn by a Hollywood cutie who appears as a regular on a National TV Drama, is running a close second right about now.
Of course, there will be a top 10 best-dressed list; but frankly, I expect it will not garner the ecstatic attention the other end of the spectrum will attract, if only for amusement's sake.
Need I say more, Cher?
