get a professional looking finish. Okay, our icebreaker for today, Haley, tell me about the messiest thing

you've ever sewn. So it has to be faux fur, and I've surprisingly or maybe not surprisingly

have sewn a handful of things out of faux fur in my life. This one time when I was in my early

20s, my friend Ruth and I lived together

and we were like really into making like really extravagant Halloween costumes to go down to

West Hollywood and like party and have fun on Halloween. And this one Halloween, I was dressing up as a pig and she was dressing up as a squirrel,

complete with an enormous squirrel tail.

I only had like a couple for components.

I think my ears and like I had made a little snout.

Those were there were like body suits involved too because it's West Hollywood. You

kind of have to like turn it out. Also I had sequins in my ensemble, but our apartment was a mess.

It was like so gross with all of this like brown and pink faux fur and sequins everywhere. But, you know, we were having

fun. We didn't really care. So, you know, I was at my sisters the other night, speaking of

Halloween costumes. And I asked my niece, she's two and a half. I asked her what she's going to be

for Halloween. And my sister said, oh, you have to see her Halloween costume from last year.

It's so cute.
