Pippa Middleton made fun of her own book with some hilarious comments in an editorial to The Spectator.
After receiving a lot of criticism and being laughed at for the "far too basic" advice in her new book "Celebrate: A Year of Festivities for Families and Friends", Pippa Middleton decided to have a little fun at her own expense in an editorial to The Spectator.
"I have been much teased for my book. Lots of journalists are saying that my advice is glaringly obvious," she writes in the editorial. "A spoof Twitter account called @pippatips offers such pearls as 'Enjoy a glass of water by getting a clean glass and pouring in water from a tap or bottle.'
"But in my defense, let me say this: Celebrate is meant to be a guide to party planning and, as such, it has to cover the basics," she said. "If I were to write a cookery book, for instance, I would be compelled to say that, to make an omelet, you have to break at least one egg. Actually, that's not a bad idea. Or maybe I should write a sequel and call it Bottoms Up? Now that could be a bestseller."
Middleton said that she's finally prepared for her book signing.
"I have finally perfected my signature," she said, revealing that she takes pains to distance herself from her well-known surname. "It took hours of practicing...I decided early on just to write Pippa, not Middleton."
Swaying away from her book and into the festive season, Middleton shared some information about what it is like during this time of the year in her family.
"My father has developed a tradition of surprising us at some point by appearing in fancy dress. He buys a new costume each year and typically gets carried away," she said. "A couple of Christmases ago he appeared in an inflatable sumo outfit. It's endearing, really, and only quite embarrassing."
