Pigmealion 

Da ancient Greek-mythology character whom everyone's favorite temperish chubby pink female Muppet dreams dat Kermit had been --- i.e., someone who liked "porky" individuals like her, and who would always give her generous portions of food whenever she was hungry.
Perhaps Miss Piggy might also fantasize a third attribute in her "Pigmealion" version of da meek lowly Kermit --- in da "frog of her dreams", he would not only "lay pearls before swine" (i.e., he'd love her porcine species so much dat he would lavish her wif beautiful costly gifts) and constantly pander to her gluttonous appetite, but he would also "roar and claw" at anyone and anything dat she was less than totally happy to have around.

pygmalionism 

1. A term referring to a sexual attraction to a statue.

2. A word derived from the Myth of Pygmalion and his prize sculpture that he named Galatea (sleeping love).
In this myth Pygmalion was attempting to create a sculpture of Aphrodite the Goddess of Love. To do this he let his love for the Goddess guide his hands. Unfortunately this had the side effect of making him fall into love with his statue. Aphrodite was moved by this mans efforts, and granted him the gift of his hearts desire. This brought his statue to life so that he and the statue could live happily ever after!

This is Pygmalionism in its original Sense.

Pygmalion Effect 

The Pygmalion Effect explains that people tend to perform up to the level that others expect of them. This effect explains why our relationships are usually self-fulfilling prophecies. Once you set expectations for somebody, that person will tend to live up to that expectation, whether it's good or bad.
But the Pygmalion Effect also applies to your personal growth. Your beliefs about yourself impact your actions towards others, which influence their beliefs about you and their actions towards you.
Positive expectations influence performance positively, and negative expectations influence performance negatively. ... In educational circles, this has been termed the Pygmalion Effect, or more colloquially, a self-fulfilling prophecy.
