Belle du Jour the original anonymous prostiblogger, is still a better writer than her imitators and has managed to keep her/his/its identity secret since 2003. Thanks to the quality of her writing, and universal appeal of twilight shots of women in lingerie, the book of her blog has now become a TV show “The Secret Diary of a Call Girl” - the first dramatic blog to boobtube transition I’m aware of (correct me if I’m wrong?)
Showing in the UK this week, and on the internet a minute after the titles roll, the show stars Billie Piper who’s famous for marrying a much older man at 17 and becoming a geek lust-object playing Dr. Who’s assistant a couple of years back. She’s a good choice having the odd paedo-cachet of any woman who was famous before she was legal, and Piper’s believably average looking. I doubt the real Belle’s a great beauty.
The producers say the show’s not going to ‘glorify’ the world of sex for cash (which is legal in the UK though it’s hard to be a prostitute legally for reasons of hipocrisy) and will probably manage to avoid nudity, bad language and scenes involving baby wipes and cum.
While you wait for the torrents, New York magazine has a grittier, less shiny, take on the game ‘The $2,000 an-Hour Woman‘ and ITV has posted an online preview along with some fully-clothed supplemental material.
