Priceless - Madam thinks Belle de Jour is disgusting
Cynthia Payne on Belle de Jour*
"I think this is filth, and I certainly don't want to be associated with it. I was never involved in anything like this. In my day, we did it the proper way - £25 without extras, food and drink, and a choice of ladies. We knocked off £5 for old age pensioners and we charged men half-price if they were past it, and just fancied watching."
Louise Bunuel
*I think Belle has given the game away -if you'll pardon the expression- Pros don't kiss. She must be an amateur, or a hairy-handed gent. Ed

Cynthia is right on all counts. There has to be some propriety. Besides Belle has been 'outed' hasn't she? She's some media kid that's never been a call girl in her life.
I used to know Cynthia's secretary. In fact on my old computer I have her memoires because her computer packed up and I kindly transposed them onto disc.

She's been outed a few times but each successive candidate has denied it. I'm surprised he/she has got a book deal on the strength of the blog. It's a bit dull. Not porn or lit. I suppose the book deal rests on he/she not being outed as someone other than a call-girl.

I read somewhere that Belle's agent has had to set up special bank accounts to avoid inadvertently outing her. The agent is going to land a big book deal, I think. There's probably a bidding war going on. It all rather hangs by a thread. I notice that she has her archives listed on there now, they weren't always (unless I've mis-remembered.) Strange move.

for mal castro - if it's not porn or lit, is it journalism perhaps? Journalism has garnered publishing contracts many times.

Madam Baroness D'Ottawa,
no, neither is it journalism. Probably right place at the right time and spotted by someone with the right chequebook who saw that a few bucks might be made from it. I suppose that is all it needs to be but reading it one would like it to be more. Either more literary (not in a poncy way, just referencing the culture more), or dirtier, or yes, worthwhile journalism. Having said that though the writer (and I) would be happy with pound notes.

I think the fun of it is in the masquerade, and that in this day and age we can still have a "scandal" about a "woman of ill-repute." There's something marvellously old-fashioned about it, a feeling of antique bawdiness. The blog provides a place where crowds can come to hear public confessions from behind veils or screens, about things that are happening from night to night. The blog may be a new folk art.
