For a group of characters who mostly either wear the same thing every day or prefer to be completely nude, the Muppets sure are having their say about fashion this week.
Miss Piggy, who probably travels with her own J.C. Penney outlet, has allowed her wardrobe to go on display at the Macy’s in Chicago. Rumor has it that there will be lots and lots of pink gloves. I, for one, would be very disappointed if they didn’t have at least a dozen hats with ear-holes cut out of the top.
The display is connected to the Glamorama event, which featured Miss Piggy singing Lady Gaga’s “Pokerface.” The irony isn’t lost on us, since Lady Gaga might be most famous for going out in public wearing those horrible Muppet outfits last month. Sorry Gaga, but your 15 minutes are up, and you’re being replaced by a lady pig.
On the other side of the franchise, the Sesame Street gang was interviewed by Harper’s Bazaar about their fashion sense. The interview also includes a photo shoot and a video, none of which actually involve the Muppets, y’know, wearing new stuff.
And I believe these are from about a year ago, but they’re too pretty to be ignored. Here’s a few pictures of Miss Piggy doing her Lady Holiday thing. How… daring!
UPDATE: Miss Piggy answered a few questions about her wardrobe in an interview at TwinCities.com. Read all about it here.
