What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIowa's best-kept mystery will have to wait. Meanwhile, as we told you earlier, a checked skirt.

  2. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorELLE is still our only source, and it is two twenty-two in the morning.

  3. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTalking point number one. ELLE says Mango sells a polished version for twenty-nine pounds ninety-nine. Polished. Who is polishing a skirt at this hour?

  4. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNot me.

  5. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTalking point number two. A winter essential. Essential is a coat. Essential is a furnace.

  6. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorEssential is not a pattern that looks like a picnic blanket.

  7. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTalking point number three. The skirt is not new. The panic is.

  8. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSomewhere a woman is at a mirror, deciding her entire personality is a grid.

  9. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI have anchored through blizzards, royal weddings and a live bee. I have never once been told my legs were underdressed for the season.

  10. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo here is my conclusion. If a skirt is essential, then I demand a tartan oxygen mask, and I want it polished.

  11. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNo other outlet has confirmed any of this. That is No Bull. Good night, checked skirt.
