Belle de Jour Exposed, Again

Despite whatever we may have posted here last month to the contrary, we've returned to our previous state of being completely uninterested in knowing the real identity of anonymous UK sex blogger turned would-be literary starlet Belle de Jour. Still, for the three or four of you reading this who still care we feel it's our responsibility to let you know that the Sunday Times published an article last weekend that suggests it's someone named Lisa Hilton—and that someone sent us an epic-length and extensively footnoted email today (which we considered publishing here until we realized that it'd take us a week just to format the damn thing) "proving" that the author is actually a male writer named Stewart Home. We never thought we'd say this, but we're starting to get kind of nostalgic for the days of Washingtonienne, back when the path from online diddlings to Playboy layout was a simple one.
