chapter 11

Music filled the air, and bills were scattered across the stage as Barbie showcased her skills on the pole, captivating the audience. The atmosphere was charged with an electric mix of excitement and desire as men stared at her with hungry eyes, showering her with money. When her performance concluded, Barbie efficiently gathered her earnings and exited the stage, making room for another dancer.

In the locker room, Barbie faced the judgmental gazes of her fellow dancers. Despite the glares, she proceeded to her locker, where a boldly styled blonde girl confronted her, causing a twinge of nervousness in Barbie.

The blonde girl sarcastically remarked, "So, you're the Barbie everyone's talking about," rolling her eyes disrespectfully. Barbie, bewildered, responded with a puzzled, "Huh?" The girl scanned Barbie's body, scoffed, and continued, "Wonder what customers see in a plastic doll," eliciting laughter from some girls in the locker room.
