We’re still doing this, huh?
Still writing to women who have degrees in meteorology and telling them to “STOP WEARING PATTERNS.” Still contacting grown professionals about their butts. (“VERY wide.”) Still watching morning news like we’re Us Weekly’s Fashion Police, armed with salty insults and not afraid to hurl them.
Tuesday morning, WGN Morning News anchors Morgan Kolkmeyer, Lauren Jiggetts and Sarah Jindra read aloud some of the feedback they get from viewers about their bodies and their wardrobe choices during their pregnancies. Kolkmeyer is due to give birth in eight weeks. Jiggetts and Jindra both had babies within the last year.
Set to Taylor Swift’s “Mean,” the clip opens with Kolkmeyer (who studied meteorology and applied mathematics at Northern Illinois University) reading, “Please tell the weather girl to get some maternity dresses she is so pretty but wearing regular dresses at this stage in pregnancy looks so trashy.”
Next up is Jindra, sharing a note she received while pregnant: “Love your work but u need to wear clothing that fits u this trimester. Some of those dresses look terrible especially when u turn to the side or the camera gets your VERY wide butt. Sorry don’t want 2 b mean, just honest!”
Jiggetts jumps in with a note directed at her. “Must be ‘ugliest dress day’ today on WGN mornings, Morgan’s dress looks awful but Lauren’s ‘polka dot disaster’ look hideous a true wardrobe failure.”
And this gem: “What is Morgan thinking when she chooses her wardrobe?? I used to think she dressed beautifully. Has baby brain gotten to her?? STOP WEARING PATTERNS ... Stick with solids.”

Column: ‘Please tell the weather girl to get some maternity dresses’: WGN morning team shares garbage notes they got from viewers while pregnant
And here all I do when I see a pregnant women is to say “Congratulations.”
No wonder people find me boring.
DANG!
Please ...
Although I will say that a legitimate degree in meteorology is NOT easy. Provided it doesn't come from Matchbook University and Bait Shoppe and involves a bit of calculus and not just Windy Studies 'n' Stuff.
Well common sense is in short supply nowadays.
I used to listen to Barbara Simpson on my terrestrial radio.
She was a conservative with a talk show on KGO AM.
She also appeared on the 10PM News for a while.
Barbara said she once received a single spaced type written letter from a woman viewer who did not like her choice of eye shadow. The letter was about 25 PAGES in length, front AND back!! Now, that is somebody with way too much time on their hands.
Barbara said, to spite that obsessive viewer, she wore even more eye shadow on the air for a couple of weeks. Nobody else said anything about it.
Women are very hard on each other for how they look and act.
They all seem to be consulting some rule book.
A newsman in Austrian wore the same suit for a whole year. He got no comments—apparently no one noticed or cared. His female co-workers got loads of comments about their clothes. But if I were going to guess, most negative comments were from women.
Have to be careful around here as it is sometimes difficult to tell if it’s a pregnancy or blubber roll.
According to women, there are things you can’t wear after Labor Day,
I’ve heard that about sandals and white suits.
But if they do, then what?
Does a member of Fashion Patrol pop up out of nowhere with a badge and a ticket?
Greta says to that “How Dare You”?
"What a lovely maternity dress!...Oh, you're not?"
It’s the Intrasexual Competition rulebook.
I find it’s usually catty old women who have to hate on what other women wear. Either them or homos.

Language warning.
I like the weather in Mexico.
There was a community fundraiser in which several of the TV personalities were doing an outdoor event.
Those young ladies were positively skinny compared to their on-air appearance.
If any of them wear the skintight dresses where you can practically see the baby’s heart beating, they deserve the letters. I’m tired of that look.
All I do is say, "Hey, looks like you took something serious that was poked at ya for fun." 🤣
No wonder I don't have many female friends.
