sarah champion

[Lady E]

did anyone read about her in the broadsheets recently? apparently there's a blog about a london prostitute that all the journalists are excited about and they mistakenly decided it was her. she has a big interview in the Observer about it.

she edited a book of stories about ecstasy in the mid 90s. i think charlie hall wrote one.

anyway, she used to be A+R for the Trance Europe Express series and i remember working with her when she did a scottish / brighton one with vogel, landstrumm schmidt etc, in 1996.

i wonder if she still keeps up with the techno scene?

[bitch one]

oh i've read that book. and i read that prozzie blog one time - wasn't sure whether it was just a clever work of fiction or not.

[wheezer]

what's the prozzie blog link then?

http://belledejour-uk.blogspot.com/ ?

[Lady E]

thats the one.

[wheezer]

there was a site about a new york-based upscale drug runner with his stories, was actually quite good - certainly prefer it to this... book deal my ass.

it's a really good blog, it's been pinned on just about every female writer of any repute in london and a fair few men too.

Some enterprising soul is already selling these:

I was sat on the bog reading the booklet from Trance Europe Express vol.1 the other week. Moving. Not very relevant though.

Wasn't Sophie Woolley in or going to be in that Disco Biscuits anthology, Emma?

Yes, there was something in The Times last week, I bought a copy but haven’t read it (thanks for reminding me), other than my original cursory glance over a person’s shoulder on the train. But it seems someone’s reckons they thought it was Sarah Champion based on nothing more than a few idiosyncrasies of writing style and grammatically errors – which given that the article writer is a journalist themselves they should have known were more common than your average dogging enthusiast.

Of course every journalist in London is probably casting about hoping that Belle de Jour proves to be one of their colleagues pulling the wool over their eyes – in a cleverly marketed stunt for their latest novel, because bad English aside, its certainly more interesting read than the daily diatribe of opinionated tripe that usually fills up the papers.

yeah, the blog hasn't made the news over in the states, yet. good stuff - i am actually laughing out loud at work. :)

When I grow up I'm gonna be a high-class hooker too - sounds like fun... :)

that rings a small bell. i knew someone who was making a film of one of the stories...it was around that time in brighton we were both talking about repressing and i think i may have done so successfully.

Speaking personally of course, I prefer a high-fibre diet to get me moving...

I'm hoping it turns out to be me pulling the wool over my own eyes in a sort of hypnagogic sleeper-agent sort of way... as long as I'm not living a Fight-Club-style double life as an actual call girl mind... though thinking about it I could do with the money...

Talking of which... http://youwhores.com/

lol

i liked...

'Ignorance is bliss
I will ignore you when we pass in the street, all for the cost of a Edwardian Christmas. For the cost of a Victorian Christmas, I will cast you from my house like the moral transgressor you are. For the cost of a modern day Christmas, I will try (and fail) to be funny on a web-site. Christmases paid through Paypal MUST include service tax and at least one miracle.'


i`ve always wanted to be cast from someones house for moral trangressions, now for the paltry sum of a victorian christmas , i can whoohoo!

What book was it charlie hall wrote?

[bitch one]

not a book it was a short story about being a paranoid druggy dj, if i remember right.

[Lady E]

yes he lost his record box or something.

i did read it. i think cris has the book...

irvine welsh had one in called 'the state of the party', that was the one my friend was making a film of, although ironically her sister went on to marry charlie hall, so perhaps she should have chosen his story.

[scott confusion]

Where would i get a copy of it?

[bitch one]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamazon?

Well they do say you should burn off the autobiographical urge with some short stories before beginning your first big piece...

Still eagerly awaiting Charlie Hall's bestseller to hit the shelves...

i did like how Sarah Champion denied actually being a callgirl... hahahaha. I don't think anyone actually thought you were carrying the deeds out Sarah, a little wistful thinking on her part perhaps... :)

well cynthia payne in yesterday's grauniad said the belle de jour was deffo not a prozzie. she reckons it's pretentious porn written by a mucky minded bloke. clients never talk to girls so rudely, she says.

and what would she know about that, according to her testimony she's only ever ran sex parties... antiquated old harridan...

no, I'm not defending whether she is or isn't a prozzie, I just like how everyone has to have their own little opinion (me included - bah). So she's either a journalist/writer or a prozzie or both even

Either way, she'll probably have a film deal by the end of the year...

[bitch one]

yes ms payne is an old trout i wouldn't listen to her.
