Mr. Blackwell is Sick
Mr. Blackwell, the fashion critic famous for his “Best/Worst Dressed” list recently fell ill. The 86-year-old lost consciousness at his LA home and was rushed to the hospital. Blackwell, nee Richard Sylvan Seltzer is on a ventilator and is intubated. Though he’s conscious he cannot speak due to the tube in his throat. The 86-year-old Blackwell, real name Richard Sylvan Seltzer, was admitted to a hospital on Tuesday, where he remains on a ventilator to assist his breathing. But his publicist Harlan Boll has confirmed he is now conscious and responding to touch. Blackwell is intubated (with a tube down his throat) and cannot speak. Source
Am I the only one that didn’t know he was that old? Lordie. Well, I wish my dear old fairy all the best. Get well soon Mr. Blackwell!
