MOLLY: I’m so excited we get to chat. This is such an amazing partnership – a little Angel Soft action going on. How did it all come together?
ALICIA: I think it’s the perfect match for me and Jo-Ellen, because we’re both super softies, and then we also know how to stand tall. It’s actually the opposite – I appear more soft, but I can be tough. And she appears tough, but she can be soft.
MOLLY: What about you, Jo-Ellen?
JO-ELLEN: I think this partnership makes complete sense. When they were chatting with us about Angel Soft and Strong, we had so much fun. We were playing games — would you be more soft? Would you be more strong? Alicia and I matched on almost all of them. We know each other well, and we’re a little bit of both. And I think that’s what you need in life: soft and strong.
MOLLY: I love it. When I saw the campaign, I thought, “Oh, this is a match made in heaven, obviously.” You guys are also coming off such a successful first season of Housewives. It must have been a crazy past couple of months. How are you both taking it all in?
