Nicky Holiday: Miss Piggy… You’re a very different looking woman. I’m so tired of the same type, those tall thin creatures with the long legs, the aquiline noses, the teeth like pearls, soft skin… — The Great Muppet Caper

Ladies, you are beautiful.  Let me say that again, with feeling:  Ladies, you are the ideal of human beauty.  It’s not the figure, or the hair, or the eyes, or whatever else that makes us fall in love with you.  It’s the way you smile when you see us.  It’s getting up at 3 AM to get the baby because we have to be up at 5 to go to work.  It’s the gentle hand on the shoulder when we are sitting at the kitchen table wondering how we’re going to get all of the bills paid this month.

In short, it’s you that we find beautiful, not what you put on your body, or worse, do to it, in order to change your appearance.  If a man isn’t captivated by the way you look when you first wake up in the morning, or how you look after 8 hours of labor, or how you look when you’re dirty as day old sin and smell like it too, then he doesn’t love you.  At best, he’s captivated by the illusion.  Beauty is truly more than skin deep, and so is love.
