The Switeroos (a threeheaded girl monster on TMS, who sang and in various accents, switching accents a lot)

I've just added the Sesame Road CD. Would anyone be interested in me posting the list of things I'd be interested in selling but haven't listed on ebay yet? (mostly Sesame Street books)

I'll claim this for my MC nickname: Gourmand, in other words The Gourmand Skeksis in the film Dark Crystal, Skekayuk

Fughetta Faffner (the star/title character of the The Ghost Of Faffner Hall - the only time in her Muppet career that Louise Gold has puppeteered the major star-role on a Henson production)

I am having a thinout of my collection of Muppet Stuff, and have put some of it up on ebay. This includes some 1970's figures (of Kermit, Fozzie & Miss Piggy) and some 1970's Muppet soap, amongst other things, see: see...

Louise Gold is around 47, possibly 48.

Rhonda Rat Rodent Reporter (she was a character on 'Jim Henson's The Animal Show With Stinkey And Jake' in the third season of that show)

Frazzle's Mom (she appeared in a Sesame Street skit in the early 1990's about Frazzle going to the dentist. She had a cockney accent! and a hair-style that looked uncannily similar to The Farmers Mother in the film 'Withnail & I')

Princess Lulallabelle (A character in Mop-A-Top's Shop who was looking for a frog to kiss - it's pretty clear which Muppeteer she was named after)

Renta Scottie Dog - The Loudest Singer In The World (a Sesame Street character from the early 1990's) - That's a character I've only heard/read about, I never actually saw her on Sesame (wish I had), however, I can well belive that she would've been VERY loud

Terry-Louise (she was one of the characters who attempted to audition in the Steve Martin episode of TMS)

Well on the subject of Laby' and Chitty, here's a piece of useless trivia. Did you know that one of the Ballroom Dancers from Labyrinth is currently in the West End stage production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (and dances in the the number Chu Chi Face and The Bombe Samba)

Lou The Jugband Lady (one of the TMS Jugband characters)

Ethel Mermaid (on Sesame Street in the early 1990's, she sang 'I Get A Kick Out Of U') Incidentally, I'm not usually too keen on people messing about with Ethel Merman songs, but I think this parody worked remarkably well (thanks to having one of the few singers who could actually sing the...

Tizzy Bee (from Jim Henson's The Animal Show With Stinkey And Jake - a CGI puppet originally performed by Karen Prell in the first season, and later performed by Louise Gold in the second season)

More recently Gillian Lynne has chorographed the stage production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, whose current cast includes such dancers as: Scarlett Strallen (whose seems to have had at least four relatives in one or other of the Cats casts) & Summer Strallen (who was a swing dancer in the very...
