Showdown For Desiree
The dream job: assistant to a TV quiz show host. The chosen one: Desiree, of course! Of course? Of course, because she only gives herself one (most delightful) nerve. With Desiree, not only does the show roll as smoothly as clockwork, she also animates the recording team to hot action with the God-given fillers. The fact that her friend Lyn also takes care of any oiling at home and that a gorilla turns out to be a human super-rammer is only mentioned in passing in view of so much lustful playfulness.
