I was just on the Music Mix thread, that there is a first song thread. I don't recall the first song I ever danced to, but years later I still remember my first customer!
Mine: The first time I was on stage was the first night I danced, since the manager didn't make me audition. I was dancing at stage 2, a small triangular shaped stage sunken in so I was at the same height as the main stage, with a pole in the center. My first customer was a guy who was probably 78 or 80, grey hair with an old khaki fedora hat on, and a balding top underneath. He wore a brown plaid blazer and smiled the ENTIRE time I was onstage... and tipped well. The stage was too small to get down on the floor, so my options were basically to either play around the pole or go to the tip rail and flirt aimlessly with him - and I did probably about 50% of each. He couldn't stop talking about how we wished the other dancers would wear the classic white thongs like the one I had on. I expected to be a lot more nervous my first time, but I think having him talk to me actually calmed my nerves.
Okay, how many of the rest of you remember your "first"?

), I used a line I found on here. "Yeah, I know the manager, too- He said I have to be extra careful with you, since you have a hard time following rules, and he doesn't want to have to call the cops on a friend of his."
