Look, I'm really not. Promise.
25 March 2004. Inspired by .
From the Hit List in today's Daily Telegraph style section (not on their website, perhaps because the webmonkeys refused to upload it):
"WHO is Belle de Jour? This question has been tantalising the publishing world ever since a well-read prostitute, who writes a web diary under the pseudonym, was offered a book deal, rumoured to be worth six figures. Newspapers have attempted to match Belle's style to that of several writers - including Toby Young, Sarah Champion and Christopher Hart - but each has denied responsibility. The astute diarist's latest money-making venture is to sell T-shirts, thongs and journals (from $9.99), declaring "I am Belle de Jour", which will surely only add to the enigma."
Muppets. Expect this week's The London News Review to have something to say about that.
UPDATE: Matt has the scan here.
