Swedish Erotica 242 - Afternoon Snacks

This loop was released in 1979. It's the fourth she made for Swedish Erotica and the first in which she appeared with Desiree Cousteau. This loop is silent.

Desiree Cousteau began her adult career by posing nude in the June 1974 edition of Penthouse, under the title ‘Georgia Girl’. She was 17 at the time and still in college. Soon after she quit college and moved to Los Angeles with her boyfriend to be a movie star. 

“I discovered that you had to do a lot of fucking behind the scenes to get in front of the camera. Everybody’s ‘friend’ wants to meet you and ball you, and they expect you to do that.”

Despite securing minor roles in B’ movie exploitation films like Caged Heat (1974) and Super Lady (1975), her mainstream career never took off and she was soon working as a nude model and stripper to support herself.

“I worked for Alex [De Renzy] at his club called ‘The Playpen’. I was dancing there with three other girls – we put on a live sex show. We did a lesbian thing. Sometimes it was simulated on stage, and sometimes we did the real thing. He asked me if I’d like to make a movie, and so we made Pretty Peaches (1978). That was my first starring role. It wasn’t exactly the kind of movie star I was hoping to become.” 

Pretty Peaches was a big success and quickly made Desiree a star, but she always felt conflicted about doing porn.

Seka later said: “Desiree Cousteau was an interesting character. Very pretty. She had a tight body to die for, with a pair of early implants. But she was another one who was absolutely wacko nuts. She could be hot and heavy in the middle of a scene with a dick in one hand and a mouth full of pussy, when all of a sudden there was a look on her face and a total change would come over her. ‘I can’t do this anymore. God told me not to.’ She’d just stop what she was doing and walk off the set. A few minutes later she might come back and start the scene all over again, or sometimes she’d just disappear entirely. This happened several times. She was just crazy!”

The last movie Desiree made was Inside Desiree Cousteau (1979), but other movies such as Delicious (1981) and Center Spread Girls (1982) were still being released long after she had left the industry.

Numerous rumours began circulating as to what she did after leaving porn. Some said that she started a family and lived as a housewife, others that she had a nervous breakdown and was institutionalised. The most recent rumour was that she went back to college and completed a degree in psychology and now practices in her native Georgia.
