   I agree on the subject of Ashley’s clothing. Why can’t they wear normal clothes? I cringe every day watching the morning women wearing the tight, boring dresses every day. Look at the other stations for an example.

      Dear Susan;

      It’s October 2023. Are you still watching WTAE in the morning? The only women who complain about the way other women dress are women who could never look as good as who you are complaining about. The good news is, Ashley dresses extremely boring these days. As a matter of fact, someone said it best on Reddit when they said she dresses like an Amish mother these days.

   Why do all the women wear the same style of dress? Ashley looks good in the form-fitting dress, the older women not so much their dresses are too tight and show every bulge they have, these women are not heavy but they have had a couple of kids. Your body changes the order you get.

   They don’t have small waste anymore, they look terrible. That being said these women are very nice looking ladies, however, the dresses do not compliment them at all, they need a bigger size and or style. It is almost like the station makes them wear them. Please do the ladies a favor and have them wear something more age-appropriate. They more than likely could wear whatever they wanted for years, but not now…You will all look better.

    I enjoy watching her breakdown of the days weather. Very calm demeanor. I was a member of Joe Denardo’s country club and he was a pain in the butt. Always complaining about the food and the employees. She is a breath of fresh air. Stay true to yourself young Ashley.

    All of the women on WTAE morning news are great. They report the news with great personality but not in a silly way. Supporting animal protection is important to me. I have a dog named Ellie, my best friend.
