Ever since Naked News became known as the program in which anchors strip completely nude while presenting the news, it has given news broadcasting an interesting twist. But what about these anchors putting their clothes on as they deliver the news? At some point, several anchors occasionally did a reverse strip. Of course, one of them is none other than the first lady of Naked News, Victoria Sinclair (Jennifer Fay Hopkins). Above, we see Victoria on November 7, 2007, start out delivering the day’s top international stories completely nude, and skillfully get dressed during her report without missing a beat.
Another anchor doing this unique strip sequence while presenting was Roxanne West (Annie Silvester). Here we see how surprisingly smooth she is (pun intended) dressing on November 13, 2007. Perhaps it was Victoria’s reverse strip a week earlier that prompted Roxanne to follow suit. What follows Roxanne’s fully clothed exit is a completely naked and enhanced Michelle Pantoliano with a briefing on her upcoming segment.
Roxanne West did it one last time; when she was leaving Naked News. (She must have forgotten she did this before as she says here it was her “first time getting dressed on the program.”) Here she is saying farewell while putting her clothes on (but skipping the underwear) and leaving her nude alias behind for good to rejoin the clothed world as the more modest Annie Silvester. No wonder we haven’t seen her nude since then. What follows Roxanne’s farewell is a goodbye compilation.
Roxanne/Annie wasn’t the only anchor to put her clothes on while leaving Naked News. Athena King (Sophia Gerodimos) had done it before in 2003 when she said goodbye for the first time (above). The formerly small-chested Athena/Sophia later rejoined one more time in late 2004 to early 2005 after having a breast augmentation.
The international news segments weren’t the only ones featuring reverse strips. Samantha Page (Tanya Grout) can be added to this list. The best-endowed of those featured here, Samantha/Tanya put on her bikini to cover her full nudity during a sports report back on May 13, 2004.
Diane Foster probably pioneered this. You couldn’t find one of her clips?
