Dancers who have died

Today I ran into a dancer I hadn’t see in a while. The last time I saw her was about a year ago when we had done an OTC threesome. My old friend told me that the other girl had died of an OD about a month ago. This brought back some bad old memories. Years ago, there was a dancer I liked at Tattletale that I used to get dances from all the time. One day, I went there and learned from her friend that she had been shot and killed by her boyfriend. Then, there was a dancer I liked at Follies who died a few years ago. I don’t know any of the details. I was just told that a friend had found her dead. These are all young, generally healthy women (you have to be in fairly decent shape to dance for a living) who died suddenly. Obviously, my experience is anecdotal, but this seems to be a high mortality rate for the demographic. I guess that’s life, and death, in the fast lane.
