- Description (Brief)
This oversized Miss Piggy doll is wearing a hot pink, lime green, yellow, and orange sheer floral print nylon covered floppy hat and matching sarong skirt partially covering a one-piece orange nylon bathing suit, elbow-length hot pink nylon satin gloves, a white plastic pearl choker necklace, and bright orange twill fabric shoes, each decorated with a large hot-pink centered white daisy. This doll was won as a prize in a raffle.
Miss Piggy is a diva pig who believes she is a superstar. She is madly in love with Kermit the Frog and is an expert in karate. Miss Piggy began as “Piggy Lee” on The Tonight Show in 1974 and eventually the “Lee” was dropped so as not to upset Peggy Lee. Miss Piggy then became a major character on The Muppet Show.
