Excerpt
As for the institution, no dancer will claim Candy as a stage name. At first it was because Mom didn't want the Professor reminded. But every once in a while a new dancer wanted to claim the moniker. The Professor told Mom that it didn't bother him, but she made sure there was nothing Candy-esque about the dancer. Candy #2 was pretty to look at but dumb as a box of rocks. She didn't last a month, aborting a fetus just before pregnancy started to show. Candy #3 was too sly for her own good and went to jail her first night on the floor. She picked a drunk's pocket. Then there was the last Candy, Candy #4. Every once in a while somebody will shake their head and mention that they miss her. Even the Professor. About the only thing Candy #4 had in common with the original was being female. She was upwards of six foot in heels and started out brunette, straight hair that fell down her back in the way only seen in shampoo ads. She smiled easily and genuinely. Six or seven years out of high school, she still had all that sweetness without any of the bile. Her breasts were augmented, but not ridiculously so and not obviously except for the surgery scars at their base, still fresh when she started dancing. And dancing was how she planned on paying that bill.
