I worked as a character dancer for a summer and it's probably the most physically uncomfortable job available to 16 year old ballerinas in the western world. It's even more uncomfortable than pointe shoes, which is saying something.

My favourite story to tell of my servitude to the Hershey Company are the times when dressed as the Reese's that tourists have thought they were so <I> so very clever</I> and "pretended" to bite me. The foam padded sleeves only protect so much from their sharp, nasty teeth. Then there are the teenagers who don't want to be in “the sweetest town” so they retaliate by trying to knock over the poor blind Reese's who is 4" too short to properly support the weight of the costume. Having a spotter isn't much good either when they just spend their time flirting with said teenagers. <BR/><BR/>It’s not even limited to the “official” costumed employees. Apparently dirty old men from the deep south find great amusement out of hitting on/and or groping Kissworks employees in their oversized jumpsuits and poor ushers in uniforms that would fit in at an Aggie game (I’ve also been bitten wearing said Aggie vest…)<BR/><BR/>Employees of the tourist industry are glutton for torture.GreenePonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335776495710001264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20580332.post-62152216429325978322009-04-10T07:37:00.000+04:302009-04-10T07:37:00.000+04:30The worst part about Disney World is the other peo...The worst part about Disney World is the other people.

Not cool when they can see your face and are ten times bigger than you.<BR/><BR/>It was the best job but getting assulted for a living is really tiring.

Except we did the kid verison and I was just talking to my friend Kaitlyn next to me. So her father, Kaitlyn, and I were all getting into it and this big black man started to cry. And told us he was doing this for his kids. We go him good, made the line go fast and we made a new friend.
