I have always loved the Secret Diaries of a Callgirl, the TV series.  I have also read the blog and the books.  I remember a couple of years ago, great debate in some forums.  ‘She’  is a man!’  they cried or worse, ‘She  is a journalist!  :)   I always maintained that in my humble opinion that she definitely  was a working gal.  I kind of knew she was. Not to say I am always right but it seemed right, what she was saying,  writing about, you know?

But now we know dont we?  Belle de Jour, the escort/call girl/whatever -  behind the diary that inspired the series, well she has outed herself.  I think I read  because she had to, which is a shame,  but whatever.   I am sure (really hope) she will make the best of any prejudice she faces in her profession as a scientist because of it.

Belle de Jour is Dr Brooke  Magnanti.

I have kind of shied away from reading about it all, writing about it even.  I felt it was her personal stuff, you know? For the same reason, I never read anyone else’s reviews,  never.  I never do. Thats just me though, a bit peculiar that way.

I had my first dinner date  last night, here in my place, I cooked it, we enjoyed it  and my lovely boy said that he enjoyed the following interview and he suggested that you may like it too. (There are a few tedious adverts initially but persevere dear heart,  persevere…)

So if you want to, have a look, its good.  CLICK HERE.
