Last year Showtime began running a brilliant London-based show called Secret Diary of a Call Girl starring Billie Piper. The show is based off of the writings of the original high class London call girl Belle de Jour.The first few episodes don't shy away from the scandalous, hardcore and sometimes dark side of being a call girl. Belle lays down the rules of being a call girl to the viewer while revealing her personal touches to the business. And that is what sex is to her - business. There is no time for relationships when your work is sex, and she makes that ever apparent as the series goes on.
The best part about this show is that it's not all about Belle the call girl. The series also has a lighter side to it, showing you the difficulty that Belle has being her normal self aka Hannah. Hannah lives most of her life laying low during the day, avoiding her family, and only taking time to hang out with her best friend Ben (who I think is quite handsome).
The bottom line is, this show is a must see. I was introduced to it by my roomie Chloe, and now I am passing it on to you my fabulous readers. Currently the show is in its second season, so if you can rent season 1 first, all the better. Season 2 has started off smashingly, and I can't wait to see how it concludes. Belle has thus far been confronted with problems ranging from her tubular shaped boobs to the enraged wife of a client. If I am right, this show will be picked up for a 3rd season without a doubt. Of course for your viewing pleasure I have included the video to the show's trailer below. Enjoy and happy watching kiddos!
