English term or phrase: hier: spoilt
FLOWER. Women like flowers - both the little girls and spoilt dancers.

Hi!

Sinngemäß sind hier wohl jene Frauen gemeint, die ihre besten Tage schon gesehen haben (obwohl das keine Frage des Alters ist ... ;-) Wie nennt man diese Frauen?

Bitte nicht allzu lässige Vorschläge. Dankeschön.

verzogen


Explanation:
Verwöhnt ist OK, aber verzogen bildet einen schöneren Kontrast zu den "unschuldigen" kleinen Mädchen.

"verzogene Tänzerinnen" - mmh, vielleicht lieber etwas freier "verzogene Diven"?

Ich sehe übrigens in "spoilt/spoiled" bei Personen keinerlei Hinweis auf das Alter oder auf einen überschrittenen Karrierehöhepunkt.
