Thank you!!!!

*Hi Krafte1too, got your message and I'm here to help. Except for the Sesame Street Unpaved hardcover book, I wouldn't know where else to turn to for pics
of both countesses. Since I'm visually challenged I wouldn't even know that I had a pic of that character even if I had it in front of me. But here's
some help so that you can recognize and distinguish one from the other.

Countess von Backwards: She has brownish hair and a numbered necklace with the numbers from 10 to 0 running in perfect descending order. In other words,
the number 10 is on the part of the necklace which would fall on her right shoulder and the 0 is on the part of the necklace which would fall on her left
shoulder.
Countess Dahling von Dahling: She has blonde hair and a numbered necklace with the numbers from 1 to 10 in perfect ascending order. In other words, the
number 1 would be chained to the necklace and fall over her right shoulder whereas the number 10 would be chained to the necklace over her left shoulder.
Hope this helps and have a good night.

PS: Almost forgot, but this might also help. Thijs, or Tommy as you'd know him by his MC forum ID, runs his very own Sesame Street Encyclopedia website and I think he's got pics of both characters. Here's the website which I hope works for you:

Dahling von Dahling is on our site, but Backwards isn't unfortunately. We can't find any pictures of her.

Okay guys, you've lost me...since when did the Count have girlfriends? I know Lulu was Cookie's girlfriend from 2000-2001, but I didn't know Count had girlfriends.

Well, yeah of course the Muppet character known as the Count von Count (and not myself personally who's taken that character name as his screen name) had two girlfriends. That's why they're called "countesses." If you need any help, let us know and we'll try our best to answer your questions. Hope this helps and have a good day.

Now let me see...thanks to Sesame Street Encyclopedia, I now know a little more about Countess Dahling Von Dahling, but let me ask this. Was Countess Von Backwards that one muppet that was singing some kind of song with the Count, and they were both in bathing suits and the Count had on an underwater mask, and the other muppet was dancing with her arms flapping in the air. She was purple like him, and had dark hair. I believe she was arm-rod, not live-arms.

That depends, did the female Count-like Muppet you speak of have a necklace with her showing off the numbers from 10 to 0? Or did she wear it amongst her regular clothes on the water's shores before changing into the swimsuit? It seems that it might be Countess von Backwards but I can't give you a definitive answer due to my lack of knowledge as to the sketch/song you describe and my personal partial blindness. However, I think that the Count did sing a sort of romantic serenade song to Countess von Backwards in a sketch/song where she was seated in a high-up balcony like Romeo and Juliette.
Hope this helps and have a good day.

I'm not sure, I just saw this one for approxamatly 1 second. But she was in the bathing suit, and Count was in a deep-sea mask. I could tell he was singing by the way the muppets were moving. I'll take a look at it again, if I can get a good picture of her (I don't have a scanner, so I might be able to produce a hand-drawn one on my computer, I am a good artist) I'll send it to you

Thanks, Courage Baggy. However, instead of drawing what the character looked like, I think it would be best if you posted a textual description of what she looked like. After all, remember that I'm partially blind and can't see or distinguish images seen on either a TV or computer screen. And from what episode/sketch did you see this interaction?
Hope this helps and have a good night.
