                Remember the videos, Bikini House Calls and Bikini
                Medical School (1996)?  Me neither.  They were
                written (sic) and directed (sic) by Michael Paul
                Girard.  Well, he also did the honors for what I
                think was a TV show called Divorce Law, which went
                nowhere and none of us would know about it were it not
                for the work of the legendary Tuna.  He captured
                the episodes decades ago and assembled a bunch of screen
                caps that you can find in the Back Issues.
 
 
 But then Michael had the great idea of slamming together
                three episodes of the failed Divorce Law to make
                something that vaguely resembles a movie and three more
                episodes to make something else, again vaguely
                movie-like.  He called them Brief Affair (1993) and
                Illegal Affairs (1993), which he released on direct to
                video.  They were on the same discs as the Bikini
                things, so yeah, well I did what I could and here they
                are.
 
 We got your good news and we got your bad news:
                lots of nekkid women, some of them in girl-girl coupling
                of the lightest sort, but a sound track that is mainly
                voice-over, akin to Penthouse Letters written with less
                subtlety and skill.  That shit is painful to hear,
                much like listening to your redneck brother-in-law go on
                and on with “everyone knows” this and “alls I know”
                that.

                  Illegal Affairs is the better of the
                    two from a purely Funhouse point of view because it
                    has veterans a tragically seldom-used Sheila
                      Redgate,     
                      a gal named Cyndi Lewis
                      
                         
                      and a one-time-wonder named Augusta Lane.
                      
                        
                    One last woman, a brunette, plays a character named
                    Clarice Robbins, but nowhere – not in the credits,
                    not in IMDb – is the actress named.  Oh, the
                    sadness, the horror. 
                    
                     Brief Affair
                1993
                 
                All video clips here ,
                collages below
                
                 
                  Brief Affair has a group of B- and Z-list
                    exploitation stars that includes
 
 Lisa Hazelhurst and Deborah Dutch frolic together
                    with a guy in one scene and with Anastasia in
                    another.
 
 
                        
                      Cyndi Lewis shows up again to complete her career
                      in Hollywood
                      
                         
 and so does a one-timer named Jessica Morgan (thanks
                    to Tuna for identifying her).
 
 
 Tuna also identified three women in a harem – the
                    only thing I did here was provide the clip of that
                    scene.
 
 
 So, fine – not sure why I bought this disc years
                    ago, but I grabbed the only things worth watching in
                    this quartet of Michael Paul Girard creations, and
                    now all of us can go on with our lives.
