Miss Piggy
Moi, the Star
“I have one big idea and limited savings. Play it safe or bet on it?”
Oh, mon petit, moi has heard this question before, usually from a frog. Let moi tell you a little story. Moi arrived at that theater with nothing but a gown, a dream, and a reasonably devastating karate chop, and did moi play it safe? Moi did not. Moi took the stage.
Now, you say limited savings, and moi says: keep enough for a decent wardrobe and a roof, because a star who is hungry and badly dressed is not a star, she is a cautionary tale. The rest, darling, you put on the idea, and you walk out under the lights as if the audience already loves you.
They will catch up. They always do. And if anyone says it cannot be done, you send them to moi. Hi-yah.
