Is it possible to hide (not remove) a PivotItem?

Question

I have a situation where I am showing a set of PivotItems and (depending on the situation) a favorites one.

I need to be able to hide this pivot when the List containing my favorites is empty - yet it needs to show up when there is something there.

Now, I could just remove it, but what about this scenario:

1. Go to the pivot view (no favorite-pivot, since the list is empty)
2. Go to one of the remaining PivotItems and select an item.
3. Select that item as a favorite in its own view
4. Tap the back-button, and return to the pivot-view.

Now there will be no favorites-pivot, and that just isn't good enough.

I have tried to remove it with Visibility="hidden", but VS is complaining about the data context not being specified properly (it is.)

Any ideas?

Why don't add and remove the PivotItem dynamically in your code in response to user events? The user adds a favorite -> create and add the Pivot item. The user removes his last favorite item -> remove the Pivot item.
