Struggling with 19D. All I can see is TEASED but no idea why. Anagram of seated??

Barnabygrudge, it's always good to give the clue - those of us without a copy could then help, try to help...

Apologies! Long time craptic quizzer, first time poster:

"Was a seductress seated, where cocks up?" (6)

_E_S_D

Thanks, barnaby... A different anagram - Teased, was a seductress.

Could be just an anagram of "seated". Cocks up is an anagram indicator I haven't seen before, though.

One of the abiding joys of the Craptic is its use of 21st Century annagrinds

3d beer goggles instil love as bladdered (12)
?t?l???i?i?n

I can see the letters of instil are in there but can’t get an anagram out of the other words.

12a old American showman in villa with nudes running wild (2,8)

Guessing USA in there but struggling to get any purchase.

Thanks

12 Ed Sullivan, from US tv show. Just an anagram (nudes+villa).

3 Stellavision, beer goggles- another anagram (instil love as).
