Brigitte (Maude Guérin) and Sandra (Jessica Barker) ... almost ... in Chez Jules

I took a peek at this Chez Jules show a while back when it was all the rage, and for some reason I went back there recently to catch up. Since when did it turn into a girl-on-girl almost-makeout fest? Had I known these just-friends would be throwing their faces into each other’s chests, I’d be a much more loyal watcher.

This isn't nearly as sexy as it looks ... actually, this is probably the least sexy way for a woman to have her face buried in another's chest

It’s like a Québécois version of the L word (in that it’s best watched on mute), except it’s all buildup and no release. There isn’t even any kissing, except on the cheeks.

I really need to spend more time in women's bathroom stalls. Is this what they do in there?

And yet, by picking the right frame out of context, just about everything here can be made sexual. (I notice, in selecting them, that they happen to be the ones used as preview thumbnails for the episodes – I’m sure that’s not a coincidence, because I know Geneviève Lefebvre has a dirty dirty mind.)

Hi there

Then again, I have a dirty mind too.

Sandra, my future wife

You know, I’m starting to regret not taking Lefebvre up on her offer of a cameo in the series. If I could have been made one of Sandra’s love interests…

Diane (Anne Dorval) and Sandra: Oh for crying out loud just screw each other already!

… then again, she’d insist on bringing in Anne Dorval (which is a big plus, don’t get me wrong), but then she’d insist on bringing in Alex Kovalev, and then things would just get weird…
