Sometimes l'm late because I sit like this for a long time
god she is always serving cunt.
she would karate chop the shit out of you for saying that.
Imagine thinking you bring more to the table than Kermit the Frog
was gonna make a comp of stuff from the various interesting things from th various muppet style guides but this one hit so hard i had t post it on its own
Can you imagine how good life would’ve been of puppets were taken seriously as an art form like Jim Henson wanted? Even Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal weren’t allowed to really be seen as more than just kids movies because nobody can see puppetry as an art form for anyone but children.
If Miss Piggy could say fuck the world would be a better place.
miss piggy is the fat liberation icon we needed
why is miss piggy the greatest celebrity of all time. legitimately
i see pictures of her and i'm like that's who i need to be when i grow up
why does she live a better life than us
NO FEAR. The actors who played Long John Silver and Captain Flint in Black Sails FULLY ACKOWLEDGE that the Muppet adaptation was the best

Okay, so fun thing - our friends taped it from Sky for us when it premiered there way back in the 90s before we had the VHS. I have no idea why, but there was a little 10-15 minute behind the scenes thing (that may or may not be on the DVD. Would need to go hunting) but basically, they were “interviewing the cast”, so Piggy and Kermit and Tim were all there being filmed separately in talking heads sections.
The interviewer raised speculation of an on-set romance between Piggy and Tim Curry. Kermit flailed, Piggy tried to be coy and Tim frigging Curry gave the most wickedly mischievous look straight into the camera and said “Well I do love a bacon roll”
20+ years ago, I saw that and I cackle every time I think of it.
That is indeed the smile of a man who has had carnal knowledge of Miss Piggy and lived to tell the tale.
i cant be fucked to go find the actual post but u guys know the "if miss piggy was on drag race she would absolutely bring up the fracking" post, and then the comment that's like of course she would her boytoy is an environmentalist
ok first of all that comment always throws me because i think the reason the image works so well is cause it's something you know she'd do of her own accord. like i don't think ms piggy has ever in her life done something bc she was taking someone else's opinion into consideration
but anyway. my point is it made me realize that part of the reason i liked and agreed with the og post so much is cause ive always just assumed that like. ok so ms piggy has the whole vintage early hollywood diva thing going on right, like her whole deal is she's an aging diva who was huge in the 1940s and now its the 1960s and her lustre has faded but the magic's still there. and this comes across extremely strongly in the way she acts
well because of that, i think i've always subconsciously assumed it was an implicit part of her backstory that she participated in the walkout during the hollywood red scare in 1947. of course she would bring up the fracking, she was an early face of american communism. she was huffing and throwing her shawl over her shoulder at the huac interrogation
miss piggy was one of the hollywood ten
She is also a young ingenue out to make it big and a skilled performer fully aware she is on the cusp of being old-for-a-woman, what would be her prime if she were a man, and a rising star grinding to secure her leading lady cred, and a diva with undeniable draw and value. She's all of those at once. She is eternal.

Miss Piggy telling it like it is and keeping it REAL.
