Pippa's British Bootie Envy!

Ever since she made her debut appearance in the public eye, Pippa Middleton has been a tabloid sensation. From the whispers that suggested she stole the show at the royal wedding, upstaging her sis Kate when she dutifully trailed behind her carrying her train during the nuptials, wearing the form fitting gown designed especially for her by Alexander McQueen,...to the recent 'bootie envy' that is said to be sending women everywhere in droves to their local plastic surgeons in hopes of getting a boost to lift their derrieres a' la Pippa style!

For years, boob jobs, nose jobs & face lifts have been the most sought after procedures when it comes to physical enhancements, however, as of late with the ever escalating popularity of celebs such as Jennifer Lopez & Kim Kardashian, buttocks related aesthetic procedures or 'ass'thetics' ha ha...has been taking precedence for about the past five years.  Grant it, Pippa has an awesome figure, but seriously what is up with the website I just happened upon called 'pippasass.com'?  I just don't get the whole 'ass envy' concept...do you?

Kate and Pippa Middleton: "Sizzler Sisters"?

Pippa Middleton

Hello! magazine reported that Pippa and Kate Middleton have earned themselves a enduring nickname from British society commentators: the "Sizzler Sisters."

The pair have gotten the nickname from Tatler because of their quick rise to the top of the heap of British society, earning them what Hello! dubs "social cachet."

The reason for Kate's quick climb up the social ladder is obvious: her ongoing romantic relationship with Prince William, whom she met while the two were studying at the University of St Andrews in Scotland.

Kate's sister, Pippa, has also developed her own network of upper-crust social contacts. She dated wealthy JJ Jardine Patterson, heir to a Hong Kong banking fortune, for several years. More recently, her rumored romantic partner has been George Percy, heir to the dukedom of Northumberland.

Pippa works for a party planning company in London, and was photographed by Hello! with Trudie Styler (wife of Sting) at the Royal Parks charity gala last week.

The sizzling nickname is reportedly not the only one the sisters have garnered in the past. The Daily Mail wrote in 2007 (during William and Kate's brief separation period) that the girls were also called "The Wisteria Sisters" by some -- because "they're highly decorative, terribly fragrant and have a ferocious ability to climb."

Spotlight Saturday... Royal Wedding Re-Cap

It's Spotlight Saturday once again and since the hoopla has yet to die down, we're bringing to you today a 'Retro Threadz Royal Wedding Re-Cap'.  First off, the British tabloids were on the money as they leaked an early word that Kate Middleton's dress was designed by Sarah Burton for the late Alexander McQueen's fashion house. 

The dress was modest as to be expected but exquisitely beautiful nonetheless and the intricate delicate lace was a mixture of Chantilly & English.  The design pattern included rose, thistle, daffodil and shamrock.  It was impeccably detailed.  The fitted bodice had a Victorian corset flair which not many women can pull off without being uncomfortable.  Sarah Burton did an excellent job of making a style reminiscent of Princess Grace Kelly's 1956 wedding gown quite current.   

   
I think everyone was thrown off by this vintage style redux by Burton since she is known for her avant-garde designs.  She regularly works for Lady Gaga and given that, maybe they were expecting wedding couture for the Princess that was a little more edgy?


O.k. so now onto the 'hats'...  Seriously some of these were totally Gaga'ish!
For instance this monstrosity worn by Princess Beatrice of York by Irish designer, Royal hat maker Philip Treacy was certainly an attention getter.  Kind of like... 'hey look at me, I wanna make sure I'm in the spotlight'!  Mission accomplished!

In my opinion, the true 'scene stealer' for the day was the Bride's sister Pippa Middleton who looked like an absolute dream in the sleek ivory satin dress with a crepe cowl neckline made especially for her also by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen.  This was a risky choice being that 'white' is usually the color reserved for the Bride only on her special day. 

 

Now that the nuptials have taken place, the frenzy begins as the question buzzing around today is..."Do you think Pippa out shined Kate at her own wedding"?  Inquiring minds want to know...or do they really?  Where would we be without our trash mags?!
