What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThank you, Brock. Hope the jet stream stays in Yorkshire. Now, as we told you earlier, a checked skirt.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorELLE says there is a new development.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTalking point number one. ELLE reports the Princess of Wales has confirmed a checked skirt as a winter essential. Essential. Like water. Like a door.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTalking point number two. Mango now sells a polished version for twenty-nine pounds ninety-nine. Not a week. Not a month.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe skirt endorsement and the knockoff arrived together, like a hostage exchange.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe royals bless a pattern and a store makes it for the price of two pizzas. That is not fashion.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat is a vending machine with opinions.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTalking point number three. I have worn the same gray suit for eleven years. Nobody has ever called it essential.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNobody has ever sold a polished version.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo here is my conclusion. If a skirt can be essential, then my pants are a constitutional right, and I demand a parade.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorChecked skirt. Twenty-nine ninety-nine. Think about that, America. And then think about your closet, which is lying to you.
