Secret Diary of a Call Girl

So, it turns out Dr. Brooke Magnanti aka Belle du Jour is actually from the Tampa Bay area. In fact...

You were born in New Port Richey and grew up in Clearwater; how do you remember Florida?

If you're not familiar with Pasco county, you might not get the joke but us Pasco people tend to be a little more out there than the normal folk...

Case in point...another Pasco resident, for a couple of years at least...
Johnny Depp

Sadly, I completely understand her answer. I remember that 80s Florida before everything got so developed...strip malls should be OUTLAWED!

This is the problem with going back – in my head, Florida is still the Florida of late 80s. I remember when Boot Ranch was still a ranch. It’s not as beautiful as it used be. The Florida of my memory hasn’t existed in such a long time.

A lot of places are changing. I think it's happening everywhere. There are tons of strip malls here too. Some people call it progress, even if it means destroying beautiful land or tearing down a historic building for a crummy parking lot. It's horrible.
