Pippa Middleton's £400k Book Party
My dear Mr Penguin,
I am writing to let you know that I too can throw a party! Great big fantabulous event-type-parties? Tick. Intimate dinner parties at home. Tick. Tick. The most funnest kids party on the block? Tick. Private party in dimly-lit-whispered-about-only-restaurants? Tick. And I'm pretty wicked when it comes to entertaining guests. Hint: Always keep your guests wineglasses topped up. That way, they will provide much of the entertainment themselves. I can create swans out of paper napkins, I am well-versed with the tricks of down lighting, decorating cupcakes and making ones own Christmas wreath from handpicked holly and mistletoe! And I can shop till I drop, I have shiny brown hair - and yes, I'll answer to Princess. And I write, godamnit, I write - I love writing, it's a passion for me. *weeps, spills blood onto keyboard*
So how do I feel about Pippa Middleton reportedly agreeing to an offer of £400k with yourselves? Well now, I'd love to say I'm torn - but I'm not really. Let's face it - Miss P has an enormous following, thanks in part to media attention - and yes, that little fact that she's Prince Williams sister-in-law. What? Oh yes, the arse -apparently, its quite delectable, much prettier than mine.
But let's keep focus here, the truth is, a lot of publishers wanted that deal and it went to the highest bidder. Miss P can throw parties, she is after all an event planner so yes, qualified in that matter. A party for £400k? I suspect, a lot of people on this humble planet could do that, blindfolded - for half the cost. Pardon? Oh, right...their name is not Middleton. Well, my dear Penguin, I'm not sure who will turn out to look like a total arse when the party planners book is finally released in time for Christmas next year - but I'm raising my Tiffany champagne flute and saying - jolly good for her! After all, if we were all in her LK Bennett shoes right now, we'd be signing on the bottom line, yes?
Unashamedly,
Team Pippa, all the way!

PS: If you need a writer for future party events - do feel free to contact me.
PPS: For the record, I don't own a pair of LK Bennetts and I'm proud of that.
PPPS: I am just as undateable as her though.
A/N: So lovelies, tell me - how do you really feel about Pippa's book deal? Yah, nay or dare I say, yawn?

Bish, based on her marketability right now, I'd say people will buy. And true on other books that may be deemed more 'important' - thats definitely a question flying around right now but like all books written by celebrities, publishers will bank on making the £400k back. Lets hope they do.
We keep writing though, don't we darling? It's our lifeblood. I'd write even knowing I didn't have a prayer at being published (I hope it's not yet that desperate). Happy writing! <3
I guess I have another celebrity book to put on my 'never to bought list.'
Good luck to her, though a bit of a come-down from being favoured for your arse, and now nothing more than a celeb book author! YUK...Make more sense if she'd hooked Prince No 2. Had she nabbed Harry boy = Duchess or countess of what though: Chelsea?! ;)
best

Maybe if I get one of my sisters to marry into royalty I can get a book deal too? ;)
I'm just sick to death of celebrity book deals. Or celebrity anything come to that. I wouldn't mind quite so much if they'd done something to warrant celebrity status.
I love Vicki's comment and I'm now determined to get my sister married into royalty. Charlie would be perfect for her, but alas, he's taken. ;)
But your post made me laugh, so thank you! :)
Nicole, I suspect you're not alone on that.
Johanna, pre-Xmas fete - do tell! Of course I can throw around some ideas! ;-)
Susan, well now, cookbooks are always popular at Christmas... get writing my dear!
Jessie, think of it as having a face for a brand... well, kind of - for this book at least. The publishers have to banking on her marketability, I guess its like taking a punt, yes?
Francine, I like that title 'Duchess of Chelsea', indeed my lovely!
Liza, true! Though, I think she can hold her own away from her sister.
Peggy, thanks lovely, glad you enjoyed the post. And yes, I'm happy - she's probably happy *waves pom-poms, falls flat on face* No, I'm really cheering! ;))
Vicki, I think having sisters marrying into royalty wouldn't hurt! Get working on your siblings - Harry is still available!
Lyn, thank you! Very pleased you enjoyed it too. LK Bennetts are fine, nothing OTT but since the Middleton sister have worn them - their pricing has shot up... yeah. AND they nowhere near the same calibre as Louboutins or Jimmys. *grande le sigh*
Shirley, merci beaucoup! Am chuffed you enjoyed it too! What is the definition of celebrity these days? Usually notorious is not far behind. And never say never, Charlie might tire of Camilla and et voila - there's your sisters chance. ;-))
Talli, hahaha. I figured you might yawn, seen it before right? I guess it won't be the last! I am glad you laughed though! :)
