Jazz fixed Garry with a gaze

Jazz fixed Garry with a gaze he clearly believed was both enigmatic and intimidating. Jazz's body was even better than Garry's and he too kept his muscles in a pretty continuous state of tension. They seemed almost to ripple up and down his arms as he idly fondled the thick gold chain that hung round his neck and lay heavy on his beautiful honed chest. 'Gorilla.'
'What?'
'You didn't say "bloke", you said "gorilla".'
'Did I? Well, what I mean is gorillas are big and strong, ain't they? Like your lot.'
Over by the kitchen units Layla, the blonde hippie supermodel in her own mind, tossed her fabulous breaded braids in disgust, Inspector Coleridge knew that Layla had tossed her lovely hair in disgust, because the video edit he was watching had cut abruptly to her. There was no way that Peeping Tom was going to miss that snooty little middle-class sneer. Coleridge was quickly coming to realize that Peeping Tom's editorial position was firmly anti intellectual pretension.
'We consider ourselves to be the People's Peeping Tom,' Geraldine was quoted as saying in the article. Clearly she also considered Layla to be a stuck-up, humourless, middle class bitch, for that was how the edit was portraying her.
From the book 'Dead Famous' by Ben Elton
