What BBN said about it

  1. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorOur story. ELLE reports the Princess of Wales confirmed a checked skirt as a winter essential, and Mango has a polished twenty-nine ninety-nine pound version.

  2. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorELLE's angle is simple: a royal endorses a skirt, and a budget retailer has an affordable one. Your take, Tiffany?

  3. Tiffany Lagrange-BooneHonestly, I respect it. A skirt that says, I have checked everything, including your feelings. That's a power move, Gloria.

  4. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThat is an opinion. ELLE said nothing about feelings. Let's move to your new project.

  5. Tiffany Lagrange-BooneIt's called Gravy Witness Protection. I play a sauce that testifies against a turkey. Very gritty. I gained eleven pounds of roux.

  6. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI have covered coups with less commitment. Who directs this?

  7. Tiffany Lagrange-BooneA man who only communicates by humming. He hummed me an Emmy, Gloria. Twice.

  8. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNow the hard question. Rumor says you walked out of a charity gala and took the centerpiece. Did you?

  9. Tiffany Lagrange-BooneI don't recall a centerpiece, but I do now own a very sturdy fern. Moving on. Next question.

  10. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe fern is a centerpiece, Tiffany. I have been to embassies that asked me to leave. I know evasion.

  11. Tiffany Lagrange-BooneFine. I took it. I named him Gerald. He's the only one who listens to my monologues.

  12. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThank you for that confession. We have a lightning round. One word answers. Checked skirt or plaid trousers?

  13. Tiffany Lagrange-BooneSkirt. Trousers have never once believed in me.

  14. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorWinter coat or dramatic scarf?

  15. Tiffany Lagrange-BooneScarf. Dramatic scarves have saved me from three press conferences and one lunch.

  16. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorFavorite bargain buy?

  17. Tiffany Lagrange-BooneA gas station sunglasses rack. I bought the whole rack. Every day is a different me.

  18. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorFinal plug, Tiffany. Where can people see Gravy Witness Protection?

  19. Tiffany Lagrange-BooneStreaming Friday, and I'm also launching a candle called Regret, Lightly Toasted. Thank you, Gloria. Say hi to Gerald.

  20. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorTiffany Lagrange-Boone. I will not be saying hi to the fern.
