Belle de jour’s SA connection

Posted on 26. Feb, 2004 by Cassandra in Technology

One of the web’s most famous weblogs (beside Cherryflava) is Belle de jour. It is the diary of a London-based call girl and is a really well written read. There is however much speculation that because of the quality of the writting, that the blog is actually written by a famous writer.

Well…now the Cherryflava believes that maybe the author of Belle de jour may have a South African connection. Check out this exerpt from yesterday’s posting:-

“It’s not a fortress that admits new champions easily, and girlfriends of N and the As usually find themselves on the outisde regardless of their charms and abilities. There was the one who was raised on a commune in South Africa, built her last house from the ground up and had never been to a McDonalds (actually, a rather admirable trait). But she couldn’t quote freely from The Princess Bride, and thus found herself in a constant state of puzzlement, especially when A tried – and failed – to propose to her by explaining that Life Is Pain.

I arrived late, looking swish in a black silk shirt and tailored trousers. Hair pulled up, subtle pearl earrings. Okay, so I looked like a Goth PA. No matter. The table was lively, the drinks were flowing, the conversation was achingly, happily, beautifully normal. I sat across from N, who’d brought his friend, the other working girl who’d had a breakdown in a club toilet and blanked me later. But she’d come to her senses, seemingly, and appeared lovely and chipper.”
