Dancer # 1 (illustrated by Kai Martin)

As Tiffany and Ishtar arrive at work, a strip club called Suffragette City, they meet up with one of their co-workers, Nancy.

Nancy talk about Babylonian women and how men of ancient civilizations were so terrified of female sexuality they tried to regulate and repress it. When asked about the temples of the Babylonian goddess Astarte, Ishtar says that it’s been rubble for two thousand years. Nancy comments that she feels sorry for the Gods and Goddesses, wondering what happens to them after the temples fall apart. Ishtar jokes that perhaps some of the get jobs as dancers.

This dancer is in the dressing room with Ishtar, Tiffany and Nancy as they talk.

She appears in Sandman # 45, on page 13, in panel 5.
