It pains me to part with this autographed photo sent to me by Miss Piggy.
I've had it since she sent it to me in the mid-1980s.
It had been a total surprise...something I never expected.
Miss Piggy had never been in our antique shop in Greenwich Village (1969 to 1988).
But creators of Sesame Street were often customers.
We know that Jim Henson who established Muppets, Inc. in New York City, liked going to antique shops.

One day, a man came into the shop and I had just come back from the gym. I was sweaty and pumped up.
We started chatting about working out and bodybuilding. I don't remember who he was or if Miss Piggy or
Sesame Street was part of the conversation. But a few days later, this picture of Miss Piggy in her workout outfit
was delivered to me. The original autograph says...
TO RITA, FROM YOUR CELESTIAL BODY BUILDER, MISS PIGGY xx

I can't describe how thrilled I was. This was actually more special than getting a human's autograph.
Knowing how busy Miss Piggy was, the fact that she took the time to send this to me and make herself
a fellow fan of bodybuilding was the sweetest, kindest act a piggy could make.

The framed photo measures 8 by 10. The cream white metal frame with glass is the type that stands on a shelf or
table. This can be reframed to hang on the wall. But this is the frame the photo came in.

Someone from the New York Henson Associates assisted Miss Piggy with her autographs.
This is the only photo of her in a workout pose that I could find. Maybe I inspired her. She certainly
inspired me for all the years since she sent this. This photo always put an instant smile on my face.

Excellent vintage condition.
(I'll send this description to the buyer with my signature to make this a 'Certificate of Authenticity'.)
I just want my Miss Piggy training buddy to go to a good home.
