Candy Cotton, also known as Candy Cane, watched as the neon lights from Ray's Man Cave faded slowly in her rear-view mirror. Fired again because of that fat slut Baby J, she realized she had no clue what to do next. She had started stripping at 18 and with the help of a lot of plastic surgery, she had maintained her viability for a lot longer than most. Unfortunately, her reputation for cattiness had made her persona non grata at most of the clubs in town. 35 years old and nothing to show for it, except enhanced cheek bones, enhanced breasts, enhanced lips and most recently a lifted ass. She looked like a Barbie doll because she paid a lot of money to doctors for the image.
A week later, Candy stared at the want ads and wondered what she was going to do. She had saved a nest egg but there was no way that she could live the lifestyle she enjoyed on that long term. She had dropped out of college when she found stripping, so no degree, no experience and a bimbo-fied form made her unqualified for any position. On the opposite page from the want ads was an advertisement for the local college doing online and on-going education for working and transitioning adults.
She stared at the ad for a good long while before she picked up the phone and scheduled to enrolled herself in college.
"Ms. Cotton, are you sure that you would not like to attend classes online? You would be able to do your class work from you home, no need for travel expense." The councilor Ms. Jennings said almost pleading.
"I understand but I feel like I would learn more, pay more attention, in a classroom." Candy said with a self-depreciating smile. Candy knew enough about herself to know that she would learn better in a classroom than she would online. Fewer online shopping ads to distract her.
"Well, I need to set you up for a meeting with the Dean of Students before I get you enrolled. I feel like it is important to set your expectations of school and the school's expectations of you before we proceed." Ms. Jennings said grabbing the phone. She dialed and waited for the call to connect. "Millie? I need to send a potential student to see him... Now, if we could?... I cannot proceed without input... I will send her over. Her name is Candy Cotton... No I am not... Okay she will be there shortly. Be sure to call me after she sees him so we can discuss the matter."
When she hung up she retrieved a copy of the map of the campus and circled a building then wrote in an office number, then starred another building. "Alright, Candy. You are here at the star, and you are going to head to the circled building. Do you think you can manage that?"
"Yes, I am sure I will be fine. Do I come back here after I meet with the Dean?"
"No, just head home and I will call to arrange another time to meet with you to get you signed up." Ms. Jennings handed her the map and she headed to find the Dean of Students.
"Candy?" The woman asked as she entered the office.
"Yes, you must be Millie?"
"Yes. Have a seat, I will let him know you are here."
Candy sat in the club chair and crossed her legs, her 4-inch metallic silver stiletto heel caught the light. She tried to pull the hem of her pink tank top mini dress a bit further down to cover more of her thighs. She was so used to the stares that she barely noticed the judgmental eyebrow raise from Millie.
"Candy?" The Dean of Students Robert "Bob" Mitchell stepped out of his office and beckoned her to enter. His eyes lit up at the Barbie doll proportions struggling to be contained in the tight pink dress. He could see why Ms. Jennings had asked him to step in. Allowing this girl into class would be a total distraction for the students and faculty. It would be very hard to take a word she said seriously. "Please have a seat."
Candy took a seat in front of the large mahogany desk and waited. He perched on the desk in front of her and tried to find the maximum cleavage angle. He was not making eye contact at all and Candy began to feel a bit uncomfortable.
"So, Ms. Jennings mentioned that you wanted to attend class in a classroom as opposed to online. May I ask why that is your preferred course?"
"I feel like I would benefit from the structure of the classroom environment, fewer distractions and such."
"I see. Is the way you are currently dressed the style you prefer? Is this how you will be attending class?"
"My clothes?"
"Yes."
"Well most of my wardrobe is in much the same style. I have workout wear, sports bras and yoga pants as well."
"Mmmm yes." Bob could imagine that bubble butt in a tight pair of yoga pants with the hint of camel toe in front. "May I ask what you do for a living?"
"I am currently unemployed. I was working at a strip club until last week. Is that an issue?"
"No, not an issue. But you must understand that the social norms of a strip club versus a classroom are very different. If you were to show up in a classroom dressed as you are, you would be perceived as a bimbo, or a sex kitten that is trying to pass on her tits and ass rather than her intelligence." Bob said. Standing up and offering her a hand. When she placed her hand in his, he pulled her up until she was standing. "The length of your skirt would correlate to the presumed length of your attention span. Now I am sure that you are very smart and hard working but the contents of your bra would hold more presumed intelligence than the grey matter under your bleach blond roots. Your presence in the class would be a distraction for the professors and the students that struggle to take you seriously based on the outward appearance of bimbo that you have cultivated to such a degree. I know that you would feel more comfortable taking classes on line to avoid the misconception that would be inevitable faced with in a classroom."
"So you are not allowing me to attend classes based on my appearance?"
"You look like a stripper, you act like a stripper. It would be very hard to believe you had the mental acuity to handle to course load."
"I look like an airheaded bimbo so I would be too much of a distraction in an amongst the good kids that attend this college?"
"Precisely."
"Are you denying me admission?"
"I am strongly suggesting that you enroll for the online course work."
"I realize that you feel that way but if I am going to do this, I need to do it in a way that I can be successful. Please, I really need to attend classes. Is there anything I can do to convince you this is the best course?"
"Well, the way you dress will need to change. I will need you to come to my office every day before class so I can verify that you are dressed properly." The dean leaned back on the desk as she stood before him. "I think that I would need to do inspections most likely daily, but that is a lot of time that I am dedicating solely to you. I feel like it would be an imposition on my time and the equality for other students and their access to me to meet their scholastic needs."
"I really want to attend classes, I am willing to do what I need to do to be allowed in." Candy said pleading.
