the TLS at a drag ball." Duncan Fallowell, Prospect magazine
"You're my special friend ... I recognise a kindred spirit." Molly Parkin

"Madame Arcati is a ... blogosphere celeb" Shane Richmond, Daily Telegraph
"You sound like fun ...." Julie Burchill, email
"Madame Arcati's blog is one of the nastiest places I have ever seen on the net. Superficial, narrow-minded, spiteful, often slanderous... and utterly unreliable, because the blogger (and most of her/his so-called 'unimpeachable' sources) remain utterly anonymous." - An unfamous keyboarder
"I loved this... oh, and I thank YOU as well." J Randy Taraborrelli, Michael Jackson/Diana Ross biographer
"IF you like viciousness, the Madame Arcati blog is worth a butcher's.

"Madame Arcati is brimming with smug self-satisfaction over her own smartness and wit. She's taking herself as seriously as a hen who's just laid an egg. She doesn't know that the only true humour is self-humour.Consequently, she irritates, but she doesn't entertain. Hence her numerous opponents.God, I hope I'll get the glory of the sidebar for this!" Famous Anon
"Who are you?" Bryan Appleyard
"I do realise Mme A is anonymous, superficial, often slanderous, and ultimately unreliable - this last is the way of anonymous phenomena dating back to the political pamphlets of the 17th century. I guess I thought those elements cancelled themselves out: once you've got slanderous (and outrageous) and unreliable, you're clearly not looking at it in the same way as, say, Andrew Sullivan. It becomes about itself. It's a construct." Ms Baroque
"[A] mischievous media/arts commentator and gossip-monger..." The Atlantic Online, Andrew Sullivan: The Daily Dish
"I'm a fan." Hugo Rifkind, The Times
"I do enjoy your column and hope you will come in all anonymity to my new play." Peter Maddock, playwright
"If you haven't yet noticed that Madame Arcati is worth reading regularly, you should." Grumpyoldbookman
