Ever since Pippa Middleton’s lawyer yelled at the British tabloids towards the end of last year, there has been a significant dearth of new Pippa photos. She is no longer getting pap’d on a regular basis, as she walks to and from work. She is no longer being written about on a daily basis. She is no longer eclipsing her sister with media coverage. Was that the point? That no one out-shines the Duchess of Cambridge, not even the Duchess’s little sister? Or did Pippa really “hate” the attention so much? She never seemed to mind the attention, honestly. The attention might have been one of the factors in her split with Alex Loudon (that, and her lack of “old money”), but the attention also opened up a lot of doors for Pippa as far as “potential suitors” go.
Speaking of, during William and Kate’s most recent vacation to France, Pippa was also there… with George Percy, the future Duke of Northumberland. I tend to think that Pippa has pretty much landed Percy – they were all over each other during New Year’s at the Middletons, and Pippa’s long, exhaustive plan to win him back has worked out. I think that George will be the one that she eventually marries. He’s titled, he’s rich, and she’ll get to be a duchess, just like her sister. This is Uptradey’s ultimate goal. But our Uptradey plays a good game, and she’s not in the mood to marry right now. So Pippa went to Paris, and while there, she’s been hanging out with lots of eligible men – those are the dudes in these photos. Don’t ask me to ID these guys – they look alike to me.
Pippa Middleton appears to be making the most of Paris in the spring after being spotted out with three of France’s most eligible bachelors. On Friday night the younger sister of the Duchess of Cambridge was hand in hand with television producer Antoine de Tavernost as the pair attended a fashionable party.
Antoine, 28, is the son of television mogul Nicolas de Tavernost, who owns French cable channel M6, is director of leading football club Bordeaux – and is one of the richest men in France.
Then yesterday morning Pippa was seen hugging and laughing with aristocrat Marcy de Soultrait. He is the brother of Viscount Arthur de Soultrait, 29, who Pippa met the same day. It was his birthday party she had been at the previous evening with Antoine.
Arthur de Soultrait is one of the most successful young entrepreneurs in France and runs the upmarket Vicomte A clothing range, which had a turnover of around £10million in 2010. Those who have been seen in his clothes have included Francois Fillon, France’s Prime Minister, and Christine Lagarde, the head of the International Monetary Fund. Arthur is proud of his friendship with Pippa, whom he invited to the French Open tennis championship last summer.
At the time, the pair were seen enjoying meals in upmarket Paris restaurants and clubs.
Pippa has stayed at Arthur’s flat in Paris’s upmarket 7th Arrondissement before.Arthur went into business while doing an internship in Charlotte, North Carolina, in 2004, and began selling ties imported from Italy door-to-door. Among the lucrative contracts he has picked up in recent years is a contract to supply ties to the French Olympic team.
Pippa is understood to have got to know the Frenchmen when she spent time in Paris after graduating from Edinburgh University. She regularly travelled to Paris to visit her close friend Alice St John Webster who moved there after graduation.
Will Pippa end up with a Frenchman? No. She won’t. She’ll end up with George Percy, mark my words! She’s already planned it out, and what Pippa lacks in patience (Kate got all of the patience), Pippa makes up for in aggression, game and flirtation. So what’s the point of the Paris trip? Maybe George pissed her off. Maybe Pippa is letting him know that she has a Plan B. Or maybe Pippa is simply having fun.

Also – in the photos where she is wearing that little smock with the bows on… why is her face so dirty?

Ha, the vicomte’s birthday party was a costume party. Sigh, was a really cheap looking costume from Disney seriously the best you could do? The Middleton fashion sense is really something else.

I think her costume came from her mother’s company Party Pieces.
They recently began selling some cheap, tacky, somewhat sl@tty costumes.

outside of her bridesmaid dress, this girl has terrible style.
those girls do seem to get what they want in the end, though. i wouldn’t mind a bit of their ‘end game’ thinking.

I am sorry but her face looks like a man’s, a 40 year old over tanned man who wants to be a woman, and is failing badly. I am absolutely baffled why any rich good-looking guy would give her a second look or fall all over her, its not like the world run out of actual attractive women.

Maybe Pippa has talents that only make an appearance in private. I’m sure this is true of all well-known women who always seem to land very well-heeled, influential men. Like the Bouvier sisters, for starters….

Pipster was invited to this by the clothes designer a long time ago after French opener (last year). The clothes designer gave her loads of freebie clothes & handbags from his collection for his PR.
George could have easily gone with her, but this actually works to her advantage.
It is a page from Waity’s bag-him manual! Put yourself out there in the media have a great time with wealthy, eligible men to make her target see what he will be missing. Works more often than not.
GP is titled & Pipster will do whatever it takes to get all the bells & whistles that a social climber/WAG wants.

Yeah, she’s following Waity DoLittle’s (i.e., the Middletons’) game plan. It’s so glaringly obvious.
She must have some amazing skills because she doesn’t have much else going for her.
I had no idea upper class men really are moronic twits. Monty Python got it right.

I don’t think it’s her skills. I think it’s her access. She’s her sister’s closet friend. Marry her and you’ll get access to the future King. I think that’s what all of these titled blokes see.

Agreed! At least she’s packing her twenties with world travel and meaningless trysts (at least, I hope she is). These girls are young, well educated heiresses. Other than aristocratic titles, they have *everything*. Why they’d trade in the good life for titles is beyond me. Seriously. WTF?!?

She went to a costume party. Guests were dressed like people from the 1700. She has chosen an odd combination really.

Good to know! She has no style, but this was ridiculous even by her standards. Someone needs to stage an eyeliner intervention for the Middleton women; it ages them by at least 5 years. Ms. Pippa really looks 40, instead of a fresh faced 27/28. Thanks for the heads-up.

Is she really in her late twenties? She looks so much older than that. Pretty she is not, young looking even less, so where is the initial appeal? Maybe she’s a wonderful, amazing woman on closer acquaintance, but what’s got these men going after her in the first place? I’m baffled, because all I can see is a butterface.

What is this ‘butterface’ everyone refers to?

It’s a play on the words “but her face” as in “she has a great body, but her face…” I suppose for convenience and hilarity it transmuted to butter face. Still, it’s true in her case.

Oh the arrogance…France doesn’t have aristocracy anymore, remember that little event in which they cut everyone’s heads off? That was for a reason. And Pippa is fug. Shameful to try to fit in with this value-less society of sheltered brats.

Does anybody else think that perhaps Pippa was only paid to attend this event? Like the way they pay B-C list celebrities (Paris etc.) so there would be more attention given to the party.
In one of the interviews the host of the party didn’t really know how to describe his ‘friend’ Pippa aside from being ‘cool’ and ‘awesome’. Let’s not forget that he has a clothing company of his own and someone with a reputation like Pippa would do wonders for his PR. It makes me think they are only using her because she attracts attention – favorable or otherwise.

I wouldn’t be so quick to say that she will marry George Percy. There’s that little thing called his family. I hope you don’t think the Northumberland family would let their heir marry Pippy. Not going to happen. I don’t care how strong willed George is. And by appearances, he doesn’t strike me as all that. Nice guy, but not much else.
Alex’s family was ragged on for being snobby when he dumped her. You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
Geez, she looks rough. And for such a young woman.
