Emma and I did some Christmas shopping today. I was thinking I didn't know what to get for anybody, and it's just that I haven't been shopping! I saw all sorts of things I wanted to get for somebody. Unfortunately, I also saw several things I want! I have been living in a hole the last few months and had no idea Hallmark has done a Planet of the Apes ornament this year! I'm hoping it's the first in a series!
Anyway...
Today's doll is this Wedding Day Piggy.
I was going to use her for my anniversary post in September, but I had misplaced her. Ken bought her for me at an auction right before our 25th wedding anniversary this year.(When I couldn't find her in time I instead posted the story of how I accidentally copied Kermit and Piggy's wedding cake topper from The Muppets Take Manhattan.)
She was made by Direct Connect in 1989.
She was one of three in a series of Miss Piggy Fantasy Dress Up dolls, sculpted by Cynthia Woodie.
The other two dolls in the series were High Fashion Piggy and Princess Piggy.
Piggy's full name was mentioned one time on The Muppet Show: It's Pigathius.(Of course, she may have been joking/lying...) |
She wears her wedding dress and veil, white undies,painted on shoes and her trademark lavender gloves are also painted on.
See you tomorrow for Skipper Saturday.
Miss Piggy is looking fabulous in her wedding dress (as always of course :-) ). I only knew the Tonner version of Miss Piggy, so thanks for showing this lovely lady!
ReplyDeleteYes, I'd love to have that Tonner Piggy. She's a bit steep for me though.
ReplyDeleteLOL that made me smile. I was actually researching a different doll and came across this one...
