RIP.....RIP Joan Rivers, Legend, Fashion Diva: Style Tribute

Joan Rivers died today at a NY hospital after suffering from cardiac arrest during a medical procedure last week. Rivers--according to CNN--81, had been on life support at Manhattan's Mount Sinai hospital, where she was taken after she stopped breathing at the Yorkville Endoscopy clinic last Thursday. Rivers was undergoing an apparently minor elective procedure at the clinic when she suffered cardiac and respiratory arrest, according to the New York Fire Department. Paramedics took her by ambulance to Mount Sinai Hospital, about a mile from the clinic, where she was initially listed in critical condition.

To me, Joan was a fearless legend. I never met or worked with Joan Rivers but from all the years working on TV Guide Network/TVGN (where she did many of her iconic red carpet shows) post-Award Show Fashion Wrap TV shows, I am in debt to her for pioneering the "Red Carpet Commentating".

Among many other things, I will miss her comedic GENIUS, her fearless take no-prisoners comments and her FASHION DIVA sense of style. As a Tribute to Joan Rivers, here's my Photo Gallery of Joan Rivers: A Style Icon...
