increasingly harsh restrictions. here in l.a. county, that have banned both indoor and outdoor gatherings for people outside the house. that as moderna says its vaccine effective, and it hopes that it will be available by late december. this morning, moderna announcing it will file for emergency use authorization for vaccine considered 94% effective across age, race and gender. it will require two doses. moderna's vaccine uses messenger rna that triggers an immune response creating antibodies to fight off the virus. and unlike pfizer's vaccine, moderna's can be stored in standard freezers for six months and in refrigerators for 30 days. something that experts say will make it much easier to get to rural areas. as for pfizer's vaccine, well, doctors are not allowed to administer it yet, sources tell us that this morning, united airlines started shipping it through charter flights to get them in place for distribution in anticipation of pfizer getting that emergency approval. that as

reporter: here's how it works. shoppers can upload pictures of themselves to be measured or they can choose a model on the app that most resembles them. then the app allows you to try on outfits in selection with your favorite brands like nike and h&m. if you're looking for more tailored fit, you can go in person for a one time fitting with fit match. >> i was really interested in the fact that it was accurately tracking my measurements without me having to be in real contact with anyone. >> reporter: this platform works a little differently. shoppers register online, create a profile and come in person to the fitting room. within seconds, the camera provides 150 measurements. the information is added to your profile and fit match matches you with items they believe will be a perfect fit from their large selection of partner brands. >> we take into account fabric composition and detail measurements off that garment. so we take a lot of the guesswork out of the equation for the shopper. >> reporter: the global virtual fitting room market is projected to reach $10 billion by 2027, but security should always be a concern when giving up personal information about yourself

i've watched the bake off for half my life and i managed to go on the show and win it. it was crazy. >> you managed to win it and you also managed to keep it a secret. is it true that your roommates didn't know anything about it? >> it is true. i had one flat mate that knew. the other two didn't. it made the whole experience more fun. i could watch with them in the flat. they had the excitement of not knowing whether i stayed or left. then we had big cheers in the final when they were relieved to see me win it after not knowing. >> it's a pretty intense competition. how did you guys survive all that in quarantine? >> it was really good fun. we were all locked down in this bake-off bubble. we just had a great time. there was so much energy. the crew were amazing. the hotel staff were amazing. the judges, bakers and presenters, it was filled with great energy. so we all had a blast. it was so much fun. >> and you had a real showstopper. you made that cake in the shape of your icon's head. you weren't the only one. it took people's breath away with your creations on that one. >> i think people were quite kind. i went for the simple route. we had a lot of fun in the tent making these cakes. we have a lot of fun after the show, all the bakers seeing all the tweets about them. it was a fun challenge. it was so difficult. i think we did a good job, but we just had a smile on our face and had fun all the way through. >> okay, so you have been baking since you were 4, but share some of your baking hacks for those of us who don't bake all the time. >> this morning, i thought i'd share a simple hack. a chocolate ganache. it's something you can use for icing, for decorating and all it is as it's showing on the screen is one cup of heavy cream you heat on the stove top until it boils, and then add five ounces of semisweet chocolate and stir that tiago until it's smooth. you can do a load of different things with it. i left it at room temperatures and put it on the top of cupcakes. you have a simple chocolate frosting, so delicious, so easy. you can leave it in the fridge and then roll it into small balls of chocolate ganache and roll it into nuts and you have a chocolate truffle. that you can share with your friends this festive season. it's a really great gift. what i'll show you now is how to glaze a cake with it. i've left some ganache that is warm and fairly liquid. i have a simple pound cake here. i'll pour this ganache over the pound cake. it's going to glaze the whole thing. it's quite exciting for me to see this. it's so delicious. you glaze it up. it looks very clean and very amazing. i actually missed a bit there. there you go. then what you've done is changed a really simple pound cake into something that looks quite professional, quite clean, and that you can serve up at a christmas holiday dinner, and everyone's going to be really impressed, but it's two ingredients and a super simple thing to do. that's chocolate ganache. >> so simple and it looks great. it looks terrific. peter, thank you. before we go we saw your cake stand for your win. we want to present you virtually with our own "gma" cake stand. there it is right there. >> thank you. that looks amazing. i love it. >> we'll get it over to you. congratulations again. thanks for being a great guest this morning. >> appreciate you guys.

california. we are back now with the ground-breaking new season of the prestigious alvin ailey american dance theater. an estimated 70,000 people enjoy their holiday performances live. ailey is taking a giant leap with their first virtual season. their fabulous artistic director robert battle is joining us live. i saw you getting the make-up. you're looking good, robert. >> thank you. >> i know how hard you all have worked on this. you're offering a free month long experience with performances. how has ailey embraced this time of being able to reach people from the comfort of their own home? >> thank you, robin, for having me. it's been very important for us to not just think about dancing in spite of the pandemic, but dancing because of our love and because of our mission-driven organization to preserve the legacy of alvin ailey. even in a pandemic, we want to bring dance to the people as he wanted us to do. we know it can be healing. >> it can be healing. you all have shown that year after year, decade after decade, six decades. revelations, six decades of this masterpiece you all have. you say it's a perfect fit for what we're facing right now as a nation. what do you mean by that, robert? >> well, revelations was choreographed in 1960 that expresses the trials and tribulations of african-americans in this country and how we overcame through faith and hope, and don't we need a little of that right now. faith and hope, that we will get through this. that's why i think it's a perfect fit. it uplifts people. it tells you that there is a tomorrow. >> uplift and unit. that's the trademark of alvin ailey. i want to show people. you shot this on top of the woolworth building as a love letter to new york city, the place ailey calls home. tell us about it, robert. >> pilot duke. we're going to be showing that during the season because there were so many collaborations between alvin ailey and duke ellington. we love new york city. this is our home. in a way, i mean, it's saying that we have the same resilience in our organization that new yorkers have and that the city exemplifies. i think it's so fitting. that work was originally made on mikhail baryshnikov. the legend. >> the legend lives on. just windchilli just watching that beautiful film, how have you been able to do it? dance can be very hands on. this is a different time. how do you pull it off? >> well, our organization is incredible, not just the dancers, but our staff who worked around the clock to come up with the mandates we needed in order to re-enter our building. the dancers couldn't touch which is difficult because of the partnering. we did none of that. we made sure we were testing every week. the dancers really had the courage to step out on faith and pull this off. i have to give a special shout out to our associate artistic director matthew rushing for all his work in this and so many others i can't name. >> it's been a family affair. i know it has been. since its founding ailey has used dance as a vehicle to spur conversation and change, to unite audiences and also uplift them. what are you hoping during this holiday season, people watching this virtual performance, what are they going to get out of it? >> i hope that you will realize that dance can be so many things for people. i'm doing a series of battle talks where i talk to brian stevenson of the equal justice initiative. i'll be talking to winton march marcellus. i'll be doing what you do, but not as well. one of the things we talk about is social justice, and how this work represents that, that that's in the center of what we do, but also what we want people to take away is that dance feeds the soul, and in times when it's so easy to feel depressed, that we can look to something that can encourage us, that that will be -- during the season, this virtual season, we're going to have an interactive thing where people can move their coffee tables and move their bodies, and we know that when you are moving, you are alive, and instilled in movement is a message of hope. >> it is. it really is. well said, my friend, and we need the arts. we need the arts more than ever right now to help us through this challenging, challenging time. all the best to you, robert. hope to see you again. want people to know ailey's free month-long virtual season begins wednesday with

mike nicco. grab those sunglasses and a heavier coat. we're in 30s and 40s on our way to upper 50s and even upper 60s coming up here, isla fisher joining us live talking about her new movie "godmother." back now with isla fisher, so great in movies. "wedding crashers," and "confessions of a shopaholic." >> now starring in "godmother." she joins us now. thank you for being with us. first off, we want to ask you how quarantine has been going for you and your family. >> i think it's obviously been a very challenging time. i'm not great at fourth grade long division, and i've plateaued, but the silver lining has been spending a lot more time together. >> trying to do math homework during quarantine is not a good idea. tell us about "godmother." it's been described as a fairytale that updates gender roles. fair description? >> absolutely. i think in a lot of stories, they romanticize the damsel in distress, but in our story the damsel doesn't need to be rescued. she doesn't need a gown or prince or castle. it's about a funny, inexperienced godmother played by gillian bell who teaches my character that she needs a happiness make over. whether she wants it or not. >> yes, and speaking of your fairy godmother. i think we have a clip that includes what you were just describing. take a look. >> me again. it's me, eleanor. >> okay. okay. >> i'm your fairy godmother. >> back off lady. >> most fairy godmothers are a lot older, but i think if you can overlook my youth and total lack of experience, you'll find i have a can-do attitude that's going to take us very, very far. >> what do you hope movie goers take away from this movie? >> i think they're just going to -- it's such a wonderful movie to see this time of year. it's a buddy comedy with the christmas elements and the holiday spirit. and also just as i mentioned earlier, i think it's really great that young kids seeing this movie to feel that they don't have to get happy ever after the way that they have been kind of indoctrinated to imagine it with a gown that prince, and, in fact, it can be an individual thing, and my character is -- is happy the way she is, and that's where the sort of comedy -- that's a jumping off point for the comedy. >> we hear you have another interesting co-star in the form of piglet? >> interesting is the right word. yes, we worked with this wonderful piglet. she clearly got a different script. she oinked continuously throughout scenes quite aggressively and was digging into my thigh with her little snout looking for i don't know, a truffle or something. it was one of the more challenging aspects. >> i can only imagine. before we let you go, we have to ask you, it's been 15 years since "wedding crashers." which is kind of crazy. vince vaughan said he's in talks for a sequel. he's confirmed that. can you tell us if you would be on board as well? >> absolutely. i love those guys. i'm forever grateful for david dobkin casting me in that film. it opened so many doors for me in hollywood, and i don't know how you would shoot it right now, but i would be up for something like that. that would be a lot of fun. >> sure would. thanks for coming in.
