In honor of the Fri., Dec. 8 screening of The Muppet Movie,
we bring you an all Miss Piggy themed Cheap Date.
5:21 p.m.
We can’t think of a better way to begin celebrating
our favorite muppet than by taking a trip over to the Jim
Henson Studios (1416 N. La Brea Ave.) for an ultra glamorous
photo op. While the saying may be that you “have to
kiss a few frogs to find your prince,” you can easily
snag a photo with Miss Piggy’s froggy prince right
in front of the building.
Cost: Free
6:16 p.m.
Forget what you’ve heard about stinking like a pig
and head over to the perfume counter at Bloomingdale’s
(8500 Beverly Blvd.) in Beverly Center to pick up Moi, Miss
Piggy’s signature scent. Packaged in an elegant velvet
pouch, it only takes one whiff before you’re feeling
swine and dandy.
Cost: $24
7:33 p.m.
You may remember those ads Miss Piggy and Kermit did for
Denny’s (7373 Sunset Blvd.) grand slam breakfasts
a while back. While we can’t really understand the
endorsement of pig cannibalism, we’ll go anywhere
that’s good enough for our gal.
Cost: About $10 a person
8:34 p.m.
We almost wish she called her karate chops “pork chops,” but
take a moment out to practice some of Miss Piggy’s
best moves. Don’t forget to yell her signature “Hi-ya!” before
entering the Bourgeois Pig (5931 Franklin Ave.) before imbibing
a hot drink.
Cost: About $5 for a tea or coffee
Midnight
Some things only get better with time, and that certainly
includes the still fantastic Muppet Movie being screened
as part of the midnight movie series at the Nuart Theatre
(11272 Santa Monica Blvd.) Watch Kermit the Frog, Fozzie
the Bear, Miss Piggy, and the gang chew the scenery next
to Orson Welles and Dom Deluise in this madcap muppet classic.
Cost: $9 a person —LENORA CLAIRE
