“Friday night, I received a call informing me that Billy needed nails for his amazing pant suit,” McCullough wrote on her Instagram. “Four hours later I made this fun set that I call SHATTERED. Billy has shattered every stereotype, and I wanted to create a set that represented him. The bright neon represents his boldness, and the broken mirrored glass represents the stereotypes. This man is everything!”
