Belle De Jour

Screen 4 of 14

“We were pleasantly surprised at the address; midtown, nice building, good elevator. We were very impressed when the door opened. I thought we walked into an art-gallery, not a sex-show. The place is absolutely spotless, beautifully decorated in a Spartan style and as we realized later, laid out with considerable forethought and skill.

There is not a trace of sleaze in this entire operation. We were met by a well-dressed, well-spoken young man and escorted to the "stage". An enormous beamed frame with efficient hoists, chains, and heavy cuffs dominated a slightly elevated platform. I counted 23 persons at this early (9:00 p.m.) show, including couples. A very tall, (well over 6'), immaculately dressed TV maid女仆 — a woman servant graciously showed the visitors the more public areas, repeated the house rule of "no smoking" and offered "all natural" refreshments. The young men who designed this really impressive lay-out were politely enthusiastic and articulate.

Belle strolled about answering questions and acted more the hostess than proprietor. I've been to a lot of sex-shows, and can categorically state I've never been to anything like this.

The show, and it is a well thought-out production, started with a surprise.

We were all seated when the lights dimmed to total darkness and the TV maid女仆 — a woman servant came out carrying a single lantern. In near flawless falsetto he bade us follow for a tour of the private training areas, and explained each in turn.
