Syntactical attempt to out Belle de Jour

Amorous Pop Culture , • Amorous Web, Cyber Sex

Well if you can't find anything out about Belle de Jour make up something out of tissue paper. Pests.

A report in The Times today alleges that Belle is 33-year-old Sarah Champion, a Manchester-born music journalist who has never been a prostitute.

The report claims this revelation, based on alleged similarities in writing styles, could damage the chances of a potential book deal for Belle. ...

Belle yesterday denied that her identity had been discovered.

In a blog entry dated March 17, she wrote: “The people who have been ’outed’ as me are not me, and to those for whom it attracted unwanted attention, I apologise.

“And to those for whom the attention is wanted, are you mad? Still, if you think the mantle of BdJ such an appealing guise, do let us know and I’ll have a pair of powder-blue Ginas spirited over to you forthwith.”

Interestingly enough, if you go to http://www.sarahchampion.com you will find the site of a nice young woman who does not seem to have anything to do with the British author or with BdJ. She will probably be wondering why she has such a spike in her site traffic this week. Also, I wonder if Dirty Whore/Eden is jealous that everyone is not trying to figure out who she really is.
I imagine there are plenty of sex bloggers who feel that Belle de Jour gets more praise than she deserves. But none of them are as well-written. That sort of engagingly simple prose is much harder to pull off than it might seem.

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Syntactical attempt to out Belle de Jour. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
