Secret Diary of a Call Girl
Posted: 16 Jul 2008 04:07
Anyone see this new showtime show? I'm really blown away by each episode. I can't even explain it. It has nothing to do with the fact that Billie Piper is unbelievably attractive (tho I dare say when she is not in her 'call girl role' and has her hair down...it frames her wide jaw in some not so good angles).
I'm mesmerized by her life. I can't even possibly comprehend how isolated she must feel. In last night's episode, 4, she deals with the fallout after she tells her best friend (a former boyfriend) that she's a prostitute meanwhile being asked to partake in a threesome with another call girl and her first 'regular'. So she reels with this awkward, confusing, angst that her best friend has towards her, meets a female coworker that she can finally be free and herself with. And then suddenly her regular abandons her for the new girl for future appointments. Billie Piper's acting is top notch, because without saying so much on-screen she emotes that she feels betrayed, rejected, abandoned and completely lonely in her personal and professional life.
I recommend it to all of you to watch, if only to discuss the episodes with me here. I've always been sort of fascinated by this whole life style; but I'm blown away by the fact that I feel myself feeling sorry for this fictional character, who's a pro no less!
If nothing else, watch it for her naughty bits. Season 2 will be interesting, considering the actress is with child now! Hopefully they won't pull a Sex and the City hide the baby bump for the season. Somehow that just wouldn't work with a professional escort.
