Piggy has feet that fit into regular (ahem) shoes--if you can call four-inch nosebleed heels "regular" shoes. You don't see her feet but you see her shoes in the Carol Channing episode of TMS. Interestingly enough, Lydia the Tatooed Lady does have trotters for hands AND feet. Just thought it was interesting. I like to think that's THAT's why Kermit seemed so fascinated by her....

Ouch. I wouldn't understand why those would be "regular" shoes. I'm not a woman. "I'm not even a pig." :wink:

Piggy is seen in the latest OK Go video with open-toed shoes, but there's no toes from what I can see (maybe Piggy wears stockings that cover them up). She's got the purple gloves, though!

Since Piggy is all about glamour and fashion, she'd be into having her nails done, even though she wears gloves and heels. Maybe she has some of those "press-on nails."

As for Lydia, yeah! She's got hooves for hands! Or...maybe they have "press on hooves" for pigs in showbusiness.:zany:

When I saw this thread, the first thing that popped into my head was the episode of The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson! Here's a link to the part I'm referring to:

At about :35, Craig makes a great observation about Miss Piggy's gloves. I remember laughing at this so hard!

She often isn't shown with toes, but if you look at that video again she actually does. :smile:Piggy may have fingers, but her feet are cloven...skin-colored hooves. I think there's a couple of old calendar pictures with a faint line down the middle, but the new video made the separation the clearest it's ever been on screen, and it's actually spaced like there's a "big toe".:search:

Nice...cupcakes.

Also, I noticed Piggy seems to alternate between her purple gloves and her leopard print gloves these days. She has leopard print ones in So Random on the Disney Channel in October.

It's so weird how they do the pigs really. I mean except for Lydia I think they all had 'normal' hands. I remember Annie Sue had toes in the Pigs Calypso number... It's kinda inconsistent.
