Here are some photos of Pippa Middleton and Nico Jackson (her boyfriend) leaving Annabel’s on Friday night. I don’t get why Pippa is shielding her face this much. Is it just the flash photography or is she actually trying to play coy? Photographers take pics of her all the time, day and night, and usually she doesn’t shield her face like this. Of course, photographers also got a weird shot of Pippa and Nico kissing in the back of a cab, so I’m open to the idea that Pippa was a little worse for wear. Maybe someone should tell her that if she doesn’t want to be photographed in the evening, she shouldn’t go to one of the biggest celebrity hot-spots in London, where paparazzi wait outside to grab drunk photos of pretty much everyone?

I have to admit, I kind of like her coat, despite the fact that it looks like she’s wearing a coverlet as a poncho. A FANCY poncho. But it’s a swing coat and it suits her and it’s one of the better outfits I’ve seen on her in a while. I’m sure the dress under it is hideous, but at least the coat photographs well.

What are the thoughts on Nico these days? I do think he’s probably trying to “Waity” Pippa, which is some sort of cosmic justice for the Middleton family. The longer Nico stays with Pippa and the more eager he seems to be seen with her, the more I think he’s probably a quietly shady character with his own issues. He wants to marry Pippa, I think, so he can be closely associated with the royal family. As for Pippa, I think she’s just with him because he’s convenient – she needed a steady boyfriend and he was and is pliable. But what if Nico really does Waity her out and makes it impossible for her to choose anyone else as a husband? Hahaha.

Pippa also had another “column” published in The Telegraph. This one is all about flowers and Pippa jokes about flower arrangements for a wedding. You can read it here.
