7 THINGS I WANT TO SHARE ABOUT CHANTAL KEEPS SLEEPING

It seriously seems like your ‘daily fashion and beauty fix’ is also secretly becoming your daily TV reviewer. Only if we are really captivated, mind you, Jean-Pierre Geelen doesn’t need to worry yet, ha. And especially when we ourselves need a little post-chat and digital nudge to check if you all saw and felt the same. Like yesterday at Chantal Blijft Slapen (1.5 million viewers by the way), when a lot went through my mind.

1. That couch of Albert

Seriously. Leopard print, okay. But with such a frill at the bottom? Albert? Dear Albert. I think you’re nice and smart and funny and pleasant (proof), but that couch. that really can’t be.

2. Did Albert just say he was very good friends with Connie Breukhoven?

I thought I caught something like that when they walked into the hallway of his apartment. It apparently smelled intensely nice there and that was because Connie was ‘responsible’ for it. I would have liked to know much more about that. Does she put a Diptyque there every day? And do other tenants maybe complain about preferring the Figuier over the Feu de Bois? Those delightful problems of people with a bit too much time and money on their hands...

But that about the good friend I also found so interesting. Chantal, I want to know everything.

3. Do you also find it a bit strange to see the bed of Rafael van der Vaart? Or well, of Estavana, but that is of course still the ‘marital bed’ or at least the place where romance takes place.

4. And now that we’re talking about that bed (I found it somewhat uncomfortable but I did watch of course), didn’t you also think it was a bit of a sparse room? Such a bed with a black bottom sheet (black!) and such an uninviting duvet cover. You can say a lot about our Syl, but she could have done this a bit better.

5. And that drying rack

Guys, the drying rack! The drying rack! I would never place a drying rack so prominently in my house, but that might just be me. But when a TV crew comes to visit, you might think you’d hide that rack away for a bit, right?

6. We don’t have it that bad

Do you also have that? That you see the house of Rafael van der Vaart (well, of Estavana then, but okay, he lives there too), a footballer who has known great success and earned a lot of money. That you then think: is this it? An apartment in Denmark. Okay, with a jacuzzi, but also with a drying rack. I just expected a bit more.

7. How fun was Chantal

When you say “You’re also plugging the hell out of it” to Albert. When you have to laugh hard when Peter R. de Vries undermines your philosophical reflection about the fact that you think you’ve known your son for much longer with: ‘It’s all nonsense’.

Chantal, how can anyone not love you? I’m ready for it again, next week.

Have a nice day on behalf of your TV reviewer. You know, the colleague of Bertie.
