[I'm not quite sure whether this is the right forum to post this in - but since a number of TV and such questions have been discussed here, I'll give it a shot]
Now maybe this question is completely absurd - but I'm serious about asking it and would appreciate the insights of BBW (or also FAs if it applies):
Did you ever see Miss Piggy as a role model for BBW?
There are so few of them around now - and were even less so 10 or 20 years ago - on mainstream media, that even though we're talking about a pig puppet, I think there might be something to the question.
Growing up, I remember Miss Piggy fascinated me as a character because she so unabashedly believed in herself, her beauty, size, style and talent - even though she is a pig, an animal or character which definitely gets more negative than positive publicity. And is mostly used as the prototyp for being fat - obviously one of the worst things you can be in the kiddy and adolescent universe.
Although she is also portrayed as vain and self-obsessed, I found her total assertiveness in being pink, plump and the most fabulous pig girl on the planet always incredibly motivating and inspiring.
Did my imagination do overboard? Am I maybe nuts?
What are your opinions?
