Things we love – the Notorious P.I.G.

When I was but a small child, before I knew who Audrey Hepburn or Coco Chanel was, I had but one style icon:

Laugh if you must, but this little piggy is undeniably fabulous. And the fact that a brash, bossy, high-maintenance woman like Miss Piggy can land a nice guy like Kermit (even if he is a frog) gives hope to all single girls everywhere.

So imagine my glee when I opened InStyle’s November issue to find my icon finally getting the fashion props she deserves in this photo spread. Let’s enjoy some of the fabulousness shall we?

I don’t care that she’s a pig. I don’t care that she’s a muppet. And I don’t care that I’m 30 years old. I still love her. Check out the full spread in the November issue of InStyle and I promise you will love her, too.

And if a brash, bossy, high-maintenance pig can get to wear fabulous designer clothes, then one day maybe so can I.

    Love this! She’s always been a favorite of mine too, because she can say exactly what she thinks and gets away with it. Goooo P.I. G.!!

      You figured out how to comment – I’m so proud! πŸ™‚ I think I’m going to have to watch The Great Muppet Caper this weekend for old times’ sake and to relieve all of the Piggy goodness.
