Sheila of the Week

Everyone’s favourite guilty pleasure Glee – you know you watched it – finished last week. What the hell are we all going to do on Fridays now?

Glee had a little something for everyone; music, comedy, studs, schizos, homos and hotties, maybe that’s what made it so popular. Not to mention the guy in the wheelchair, that was a nice touch. Shame nobody remembers his name though...

There was plenty to keep the lads happy to what with Ms Pillsbury the cute, quirky guidance counsellor with a fetish for germs and cleanliness. Hey, we’ve all known irls like that. None of the guidance counsellors at my school were ever as cute as her though, quite the opposite, they were all mingers.

Then there was Terri, the wife of Will who married him early so no one else could and feigned a pregnancy because she was so scared of losing her husband to the Glee club. We have all definitely known girls like that.

Interestingly the actress that played Terri also appeared for a while on Nip / Tuck where she played an HIV positive, recovering sexaholic who had a black baby after a one night stand. The same character later tried to conceive again with a gang bang (more men, more chances of getting pregnant), paid the tradesmen building her day spa with blowies and hand jobs and spied on her ex as he shagged other women.

Eventually she died whilst by falling off the edge whilst having sex on a rooftop. And if you think thats whack you should research the back story to the antagonist of that show, The Carver!

But back to the eye candy on Glee. There were of course, the cheerleaders, or Cheerios. They were everywhere and if there’s one thing we love at ClubDes its cheerleaders. Or girls in uniforms really, we’re not too fussy.

But the real star of the show, at least for us fellas was Rachel, the Jewish sophomore student and the daughter of an inter-racial same-sex couple. Hey, we’ve never actually known anyone like that, ever, but maybe that’s why we love Rachel so much; she’s different but her desire to be liked, wanted and understood is something every girl wants.

In one of our fave scenes involving Rachel she thinks she understands what Mr Schuster is trying to tell her by singing a mish mash of “Don’t Stand So Close To Me” and “Young Girl”.

Mr Sch “Do you understand what I’m trying to say to you Rachel?”
Rach “Yes. I am a young girl and you have trouble standing close to me!”

Amen to that!

Rachel is played Lea Michele, a 23 year old Broadway star who has been singing on stage since the age of 10. She has been nominated for several awards in that time and her success has continued with Glee where she has been nominated for more.
She may not have worn a cheerleader uniform but Rachel had some pretty smokin outfits going on and we like that in a girl.

Thankfully Glee has been renewed for another season (at least) and we, like you, will be waiting in earnest for it to come back on our screens so we can once again see a little more of Rachel.
