Taxidermy is so much more than stuffed game for mountain lodges. In her ornate hats and stoles, this couture taxidermist revives a Victorian tradition that features animals in unusual display—take for example the hat that sports a goose with wings spread wide. The perfect finishing touch for your Kentucky Derby outfit.  Guest: Beth Beverly, couture taxidermist, and owner, Diamond Tooth Taxidermy, Philadelphia
