CandiDates take note: it’s difficult for me to imagine dating anyone who isn’t at least up for trying down dog (and my ideal future boo is already Namaste-tuned).

The naughtiest one pulls a pair of salmon panties from her pocket and dangles them near the nostrils of a curly-haired man passed out on a life-sized teddy bear. Black-rimmed glasses magically appear on the man’s face as he gets up to toss a flute at someone spooning a disco ball nearby. Ball spooner stumbles to the john for a reality check. In the process, he awakens a lingerie-clad brunette in a plastic lion mask.
