Pippa Middleton's Very Expensive Cup of Tea

IMAGINE THAT YOU are Pippa Middleton (bear with me here). You are a 29-year-old English woman whose professional life experience amounts to working for your parents’ party-planning company. You’re what the British call “a Sloane” (roughly, the U.K. equivalent of a preppy Wasp) and “a good sort” (American translation: a good sport). As chance would have it, your older sister has married the future king of England and, aided by your penchant for socializing in places frequented by the British paparazzi (Wimbledon, ritzy London nightclubs, polo matches), you have become globally famous. However, as you note, “so much [has been] written about me when I have done so little to paint a picture of myself.” So you decide to rectify that misperception using the obvious medium: a guide to entertaining.
