This little Miss Piggy

I love Halloween.  My sister loves Halloween.  My mom loves Halloween.  We are a Halloween kind of family.  For my sister and I, it's not only about the costumes, but the spookiness - cemetaries, horror movies, fun Halloween movies, etc.  My mom likes some of that, but she is all about the costumes.  I mean, my mom is a badass seamstress that's been doing it since she was 10 or 11 and actually made an elaborate Victorian walking dress when I was little just so she could get professionally photographed in it.  She wore a powdered wig & a beauty mark and got the perfect backdrop & everything.  And it was professionally framed in my house throughout my childhood.  I told you.  Hardcore.

This Halloween is especially exciting because I have a house now, so we are going to deck that shit out & throw the best Halloween party EVER.  EVER.  So my sister was showing me her costume options as a sexy sailor, which of course made me want to look for my costume gear.  This year I will be Miss Piggy.  I LOVE the Muppets & I LOVE Miss Piggy.  For some reason I always loved the divas when I was growing up.  Probably because they made me laugh & I loved the huge personalities & amazing clothes.  For instance, I LOVE Kate Capshaw in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.  By far my favorite Indy flick and a lot of that has to do with Capshaw.  I would howl with laughter at all of her scenes as I watched that movie at least a couple times a week, from when I was three until around five years old.  Again, hardcore.

Seriously?  OF COURSE I wanted to be her!

Anyways, I want to give you a little tour of the image searching I just went through and you can see how ADD I am, especially on the World Wide Web.  I said it.  Move on.  Also, help me decide which Piggy outfit to go for.  I can go red, purple, pink..... you get it, just scroll.

Here is the ear, nose & wig/tiara set I need to make the best costume ever:

Here are the different Miss Piggy outfits I would love to try and recreate with some crazy thrift store outfit or something.  Oh crap, I just realized I have an awesome 80s dress at home that I stole from my high school theatre department!  Must mend that.  Anyways:
B/W of my favorite Piggy form; The Great Muppet Caper water ballet spectacular!
Best color version ever.  See why I love this movie?
This one is a little sassier.  I'd probably be a little more modest.
I WISH. Also, this picture is part of a Great Muppet Caper sheet set. Uh oh.  NEED!
More realistic purple option
Or I could just get this tattoo & call it a day.  Yikes, right?



So of course Miss Piggy made me think of teacup pigs, where I found this:


And then I wanted to change my blog profile pic to that cutie and I wondered if I could because it is a pig, not a bunny, like me.  So I decided to search for new bunny pics & found this:

I am officially quitting while I am ahead.  Please let me know which Miss Piggy look you think I should go for.  And/or your favorite Indiana Jones movie.  And/or your favorite Muppet movie.  And I also need, no matter what else you decide to comment on, I NEED you to exclaim at HOW ADORABLE that teacup pig & that itty bitty bunny are.  And should I change my profile pic to one or the other?  Is it legal to do the pig?  Ooh!  And tell me what you are going to be for Halloween and/or what your and your favorite costume you have ever worn!  Pictures make me happy so feel free if my blog has that capability!

"Is this your homework, Larry?!"

Yes.  Yes, it is.



Hallo-homework for all,
