These days with a good book being harder and harder to find, naturally, I've turned to the web to scour through the billions of blogs out there. I've come across a few really good reads. One of which is Confessions of a College Callgirl and was obsessed with her story. Self evident by the title it's about her experience as a callgirl trying to earn extra cash while going to school. She didn't go through an agency and instead resourcefully found her john's through Craigslist (go figure).

Fantastic writer. She doesn't really make any of experiences sound porn-ish. Everything is written out really well and the details just feel more of a documentary sort as opposed to some horny college girl writing about her hook-up's.

She recently is coming to an end of her blog, and her last entry kind of explains it all. As she recalled her experiences as a self-made callgirl for all of us to enjoy, she had to relive through all of them. At the time she was able to separate herself and get her through... let's face it, another day on the job, but now things are different. You did what you had to do back then, but now it may not be something you want to relive now. Maybe you have a serious beau in your life. It doesn't necessarily mean she's embarassed or ashamed of what she did back then, but your goes out to this girl.

Now she had mentioned once of this show that came out, Secret Diary of a Callgirl. This one is about a London Callgirl employed through an agency. I watched like 2 episodes and couldn't get into it really. There was really nothing wrong with it, but it wasn't, as they would say in London, my cup of tea.

However, I did find the blog that the show is based on. Belle du Jour. Again, beautiful writer. (I'm wondering if there is a connection between being a great writer and being openly promiscuous.) As I read her entries I can almost hear them in my thoughts with an English accent. Hot.

Her entries in the beginning are much like the previous one I mentioned, really well written out and doesn't feel dirty reading them. Parts I love is the "how-to". She discusses the waxing, the tools and supplies needed when going out for a job.

But then she gets picked up by a publishing company and her entries get more vague and hard to follow. I'm gonna say she might've gone back and deleted some entries in between so that we would go out and buy her book or watch the show. After a falling out with her manager entries on some of the jobs that she had done are few and far in between. The blog focuses more on her life, and sometimes that gets well... a little exhausting to read.

Nevertheless I will still probably pick up her book just to see what I may have missed.
