Slimey once dated a caterpillar named Scuzzina, who later turned into a moth. While she was in her cocoon, Slimey was very upset, and stayed by her side until she emerged, even trying to wake her up early by playing the bugle. When Scuzzina became a moth, she gave Slimey a ride through the sky.

Muppet Fact #1863

Early design sketches for Oscar the Grouch showcase that he was originally imagined as being purple. The change to orange was made because the color didn't show up on camera well. At the start of Sesame Street's second season, however, Oscar's color was once again changed to his now iconic green.

Muppet Fact #1860

Miss Piggy's wedding gown from Muppets Most Wanted was designed by Vivienne Westwood. When asked about her inspiration for designing the dress, Westwood said,

"The dress is one of my favorite styles. It's called the Court dress and is inspired by 17th-century English royalty and the court of King Charles II. It has been designed especially for [Miss Piggy] in a white pearl sequin fabric made from recycled water bottles. It's the perfect choice for a royal sow."
