Elle de Jurists might be the next Belle de Jour
I stole that from a comment posted in response to Nft(L)U Evan's post: Go Ahead and Yell, Just Promise Not to Blog. It might be an "absolute gem" as one commentator says or might be legal fiction as another points out. If you want to know what it means then you have to go and read the aforementioned post and full comments ... and it still may not be clear.
As far as why no one is linking to this blog is a mystery to me since they clearly want to be discovered; they've linked to Mad Tea Party (twice), Bag & Baggage, How Appealing, Legal Ficiton and Ernie the Attorney. Problem is with a page rank of zero I'm not sure that technorati is recording their hits (I couldn't find their link to Bag & Baggage in her cosmos). Plus Evan as much as gave it away by posting an unadulterated excerpt of text.
So why am I not linking to it? I guess it's just more fun this way. Plus, then they can't track our discussion if in fact revealing their anonymity were to drive them off.
Update: Our mystery site may not have shown up in Denise's (Bag & Baggage) link cosmos, but she comments that it has in her referrals.
Update II: Since Ernie the Attorney has provided a direct link, I will as well: And What Thanks Do We Get?
Also, as Evan points out, I have an indication of who one of the blog's author may be, but no opinion as to whether it's legal fact or fiction. Regardless, I'm not about to out an anonymous author, but can respond to the comments in NftLU's original post that it's probably not Evan or even Ernie or Scheherazade....
March 22, 2004: Who knew that some people unmask anonymous authors for a living? The NY Post is reporting that Don Foster, the man who unmasked Joe Klein as the author of "Primary Colors", is convinced that Belle de Jour is Sarah Champion, a 33-year-old author from Manchester in north-west England.
Screw it: Unmask the Author post at NftLU.
