MY new obsession

Calm down guys, I'm not advertising porn on my blog, its just my latest obsession is all. So far I've been in love with this show for around 2 hours, just enough time for me to see the first 4 episodes of the new season thanks to you Andy!

If this were a facebook status update, it'd definitely say: O.M.G love secret diary of a call girl!

I'm just sad that its taken me this long to find it. I for some reason had it in my head that I didn't like Billy Piper but she is really great as Belle/Hannah, you really buy in to her character. One of the things I love about it so much is how glamorous it all seems. Her apartment is amazing and her clothes are to die for! Obviously, I would imagine being an actual call girl is much less glamorous but hey, isn't that the beauty of TV!

However, even within the first 4 episodes I felt we were starting to see the less glamorous, emotional implications of being a call girl which was really quite sad, because suddenly you realize that these girls aren't so foreign from you, i.e when Bambi starts to fall in love with the absolutely amazingly cool and gorgeous Byron (I love him), you feel sad for her and can relate to her, even though I for one am no call girl!

I think another reason I love it so much is that it is very similar to Sex And The City (I think) in the lighthearted way in which sex is approached, and I think Belle is kind of like all characters rolled up in one, especially with Carries writing skills.

I guess the program can be heavily criticized for glamourising prostitution, but come on, doesn't TV glamourise everything?! Watching it doesn't make me automatically think that all the poor girls all over the world who are forced in to prostitution ain't got it too bad, sitting around in thousand pound knickers and sipping champers. Of course, for some people it is their living hell, but just because there is a lot of drugs and trafficking surrounded by the word call girl or escort, doesn't mean all woman are forced in to it! I personally don't think that Secret Diary Of A Call Girl is giving off the message that this lifestyle is great. All people old enough to watch it, are old enough to know its a fictional program, no?

Overall, I'm very excited for tomorrow nights episode and I'm even more excited for our talk on Friday afternoon! Until then.....XOXO
