860: Suddenly: A Mirror!

And I thought, oh, this would be great. I'll get the wig to go with this jersey. I went to all the pet stores. I looked online. And I could not find a wig. And I thought, well, this is like a void that needs to be filled. And I decided I was going to be the one to do it. These days, pet wigs are everywhere.

I had a Farrah Fawcett, like long, blonde, flowing hair, feathered. I had like a bob, like can I see the manager kind of bob. What's your favorite wig that you made? I think for me it was the beehive because it was so – it was just like the ultimate wig. It was like fire red. It had little like sideburns that were curled that came down. And it got funnier as it got smaller.

Like it made a lot of sense on the pit bull, but when it went down to like a chihuahua or a Pomeranian, it was hilarious. I think that was a big part of this, is that it was so silly and so joyful. It was enjoyable to wake up and think about. And that's a really nice thing to follow. Leisha had had a really rough year before this.

It was beautiful. I just want to give it full props. It was a really great-looking booth. It was like a room you walked into. It was all white and clean. It had all the samples on a wall on shelves.

And then I wanted the pictures and the wigs to be the moment. So I wanted it to be like top of the line classic, like so high. I want it to feel high end. The reaction that people had when they rounded the corner, people lit up in a way I've never been a part of. Like, I've never seen people so happy. I had a line out the door.
