Belle de Jour is the story of a high-class call girl working in London. The anonymous blog - Diary of a London call girl was so well written that it started gathering speculation about the identity of the writer and whether the blog was even real. The daily post by Belle de Jour were fresh, easy to read, amusing at times and was not short of a good sense of humor: all this in a profession that could be dangerous, emotionally stressful and is most certainly socially looked down upon. It simple captured the readers' imagination and awakened the innermost repressed fantasies of a regular day-to-day person.
