Some classic barbs from Mr Blackwell

It was a quiet day at work so to relieve my boredom I went a-browsing on this here interweb doo-dah to dig out some more bon mots from the delightfully caustic Mr Blackwell. Even if you don't agree with his choices of worst dressed ladies, you have to admit that he's got a funny turn of phrase. The bitter old queen has been dishing it out since 1960 and here are some of the bitchy remarks that stood out:

1963 Jayne Meadows - "Looks like all the stores in town had a sale - and she bought it all; what's worse, she wore it."

1964 Jayne Meadows -"May I have an aspirin?"

1964 Debbie Reynolds - "A caricature of Zsa Zsa Gabor who is a caricature of...well, I really don't know. Plug her in and there's your Christmas tree."

1965 Elizabeth Taylor - "In tight sweaters and skirts she looks like a chain of link sausages."

1965 Barbra Streisand - "Ringo Starr in drag."

1966 Ann-Margret - "Marlon Brando in a g-string."

1966 Elizabeth Taylor - "A boutique toothpaste tube, squeezed from the middle."

1966 Carol Channing - "Finger paints, chicken feathers, and glue thrown into an electric fan."

1967 Elizabeth Taylor - "Looks like two small boys fighting under a mink blanket."

1969 Doris Day - "Doing your own thing in blushing pink...but for thirty years?"

1990 Barbra Streisand- "What can I say? Yentl 's gone mental!"

1998 Kate Winslet - "From gaudy gowns to creepy combat boots, Kate's a fashion panic - in fact, her whole wardrobe should have gone down with the Titanic."

2003 Melanie Griffith - "Melanie defines "fatal fashion folly", a botox'd cockatoo in a painting by Dali!"

2003 Celine Dion - "Half sequined scarecrow, half gaudy acrobat. Is it Abe Lincoln in drag? I'll leave it at that!"

2005 Jessica Simpson - "It's time to sack the stylist and divorce the 'designer,' she resembles a cut-rate Rapunzel slingin' hash in a Vegas diner!"

2005 Mary-Kate Olsen "In bag lady rags that look depressingly decayed – forget the 'accessories' and buy some Raid."

I also love his catty cameo in the Streetcar Named Marge episode of The Simpsons: "Memo to Goldie Hawn: Cheerleading tryouts were 30 years ago. Let’s grow up, shall we?" Aw, I love Goldie. That's just mean.

Meow, saucer of milk for Mr Blackwell!
