‘There is the satisfaction of providing your public with a vision of true beautology, true sytlisity, - how can I put it? – true glamorositude’ – Miss Piggy
We are not speaking about the music industry manufactured pretentious and pretend eccentric pop diva Lady Gaga, we are talking about the delightfully violent and bourgeois star of the sliver (and furry) screen Miss Piggy.
I have always been a great fan; the dry cutting remarks could cut the biggest and most respectable people down to size. She would also use her sexuality to reduce any man to be her willing slave. Although Kermit did finally receive the pork tongue, his obvious repressed homosexuality made the chase a little too long.
However, I digress. The character of Miss Piggy was one of the few 3-dimesional characters from the Muppets whilst popularity is questionable, she did become the most recognisable facet of the long running show.
Legend has it, the name ‘Piggy’ was actual shortened from the Greek word ‘Pigathius’ which literally means’ river of passion’. A lot more thought and a high political agenda was at work to creating this character, and theories range from her being a metaphor for 80’s greed, to a parody of Zsa Zsa Gabor.
The character has many depths from the comical karate chopping of men who rebuff her to my favourite the undeniable self-belief that she is destined for greatness. I am sure than subconsciously there is some self-awareness, but the obvious denial she displays is quite impressive.
Now to make my point about the whole blog the metaphor of Miss Piggy has always meant to me a reminder of the phrase ‘Fake it till you make it’ a positive phrase that stops you from entering those self full-filling prophecies of self doubt, loathing and destruction.
The phrase is used a lot by the AA (Alcoholics anonymous) and newcomers are encouraged to use phrases, to talk about their present tense as if they have already succeeded.
In essence everything we say and do affects our anxiety, somewhat a contradiction to my normal line, but hope you will appreciate a different perspective.
We all have fears, this is natural. We can feed our anxiety or negativity with limited beliefs and self fulfil our worst nightmare. However, on the flipside we can trivialise those same such things and rise above with self belief and of course self fulfil our biggest dreams.
Just remember talent, like behaviour can be learnt. You may as well visualise the best possible outcome. To get to where you want to go, and have what you want to have and be what you want to be, always just needs a little belief to grow.
If you're properly attired, you're hired. And if you're not, I don't care how “Qualified” you may be – it will be a case of “clothes, but no cigar.” – Miss Piggy
A short blog today, however next Monday will be pushing myself way out of comfort zone and will writing a poem, something I have not attempted for a while.
“Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic’.– Miss Piggy
Speak to you all soon
