For the first time, I overheard a rude comment made about me by another dancer last night. I am courteous when I am at work, but I also keep to myself in order to not be involved in some of the BS that goes on b/n girls (I only work part-time, anyway, plus I live 85 miles away). I was on a side stage, and I heard and saw a girl point at me, saying something rude about me to a potential customer. I had a crowd surrounding my stage with guys lined-up at the stairway to personally tip me at the time, but I did catch what she said. Later, I passed her in the VIP room, and she wouldn't even look me in the eye, but as I walked by, I said, "Hey, the answer is...", but she totally ignored me and kept walking. I think I might have scared her up close like that, but I felt the need to say something to let her know I did hear what she said. It is one thing for people to think whatever they want, but it is totally rude and uncalled-for when customers, or especially other dancers, make rude comments out loud, and certainly in a way the object of the comment can hear it! The girl that made this comment is probably one of the homeliest girls in the club, which I had thought long before this incident, but I never comment to customers or other dancers on what I think about anyone's looks, etc. I'm just wondering if that's how this girl "stays in business"--by trying to dog all the girls at the club that she thinks look better than she does and in front of potential customers? It kind of makes me wonder what some of the dancers will really stoop to saying or inventing about someone else in hopes of making more money for themselves? Yet we wonder why dancers get a bad rap for being con artists! It's no wonder with girls like this one running around. Some girls are just really horrible people, and I guess that comes from the fact that maybe they just really don't like and aren't happy with themselves? I know I couldn't like myself if I acted like that, so I don't do things that would make me feel like a rotten person. How do other dancers deal with this type of situation? Thanks,

I am usually smiling and looking like I'm having fun, and I act like their comments don't bother me. It's the best revenge.
