  It's been a while since urlLink Belle de Jour , the anonymous prostitute and new media celebrity, has been featured in the broadsheets. That was until appearing in the urlLink Guardian's 100 most powerful people in media list, billed as "the definitive guide to the most powerful movers and shakers in one of the UK's most vibrant industries". BdJ made it into the top 10 of the new media section of the list, coming in at number 10. Apparently the BdJ is "representative of the millions of online bloggers and the year that blogging went overground", and not just a ludicrous addition to an otherwise sensible list, designed to get people talking about it.
The second bit of BdJ news this week is the addition of her much-anticipated book to an urlLink Amazon page . The book, titled "Belle De Jour: Intimate Adventures of a London Call Girl", is not "a salacious catalogue of sexual encounters," but is actually an "unfolding story of her life: the difficulties in juggling her very understanding boyfriend with her profession; the question of what to wear to work; the problems associated with managing pubic topiary and the often hilarious hypocrisies she bears witness to every day. " urlLink Amazon are selling the book for £10, but we're assuming that price goes up if you want the book to do anything 'kinky'.
