ReplyDeleteWant to sell shit-loads of your veiled entirely fabricated memoir about blowing hoover execs in the Waterloo Ramada? Just follow this formula:
i) Visualise a slutty yet bourgeois image of young womanhood (something like Goldfrapp’s backing dancers)
ii) Settle on an acceptable level of nudity.

iv) Stick something in the title about them being a tart and this being a diary
v) Count money
