M O VE OVER, Mr. Blackwell. Free Press readers have their own ideas when it comes to listing the best- and worst-dressed celebrities.
And many who sent in the ballot from last Thursday’s fashion section pulled no punches about those they feel exhibit style savvy and those who are a walking fashion faux pas.
Among international celebrities, Diana, Princess of Wales and Madonna topped the best and worst-dressed (respectively) lists with readers. Each won in her category by a whopping majority.
Needless to say, there were interesting nominations. Minnie Mouse, Dracula and all the male characters from TV’s LA Law made the best-dressed poll, while Mick Jagger, Queen Victoria and Chelsea Clinton were among the many worst-dressed candidates. Go figure.
The results were tabulated from all the best- and worst-dressed ballots that flooded in. Sure, the survey was unscientific, but for Janice Sawka, the payoff was worth it as her ballot was pulled in a random draw from all entries received. Sawka wins a$100 gift
certificate from The Body Shop.
Many thanks to all who took the time to enter. In some cases, celebs received an equal number of votes. Without further ado, meet Winnipeg’s version of the good, the bad and the dowdy.
