Fashion pundit Mr. Blackwell (real name Richard Selzer), born in Brooklyn Heights and raised in Bensonhurst, has died at 86. He was best known for his yearly “Worst Dressed List” and the barbs he tossed at poorly attired celebrities. He once said Elizabeth Taylor, “Looks like two small boys fighting under a mink blanket.”
