The term is vaguly self explanitory, but what is it exactly is she and what function does she perform???
A housemom is basically a woman who sets up shop in the dressing room, dispensing anything from tampons to sanitary wipes to relationship advice and generally keeping the dressing room in an orderly, clean state. She may do more than this (actively recruiting customers for her girls) or less than this (drinking with the management all night) at her own discretion. All girls are supposed to tip her generously at the end of the night.
A good house mom can make a huge difference in the work environment. A good house mom brings in food and has nice costumes for the girls to choose from. A good house mom also helps dancers deal with the weirdo managers bad attitudes. Some house moms are former dancers and can give really great advice on how to deal with rude customers.
I have come across a few really bad house moms who are just as rotten as the managers; and some super nice house moms.
we've talked about this before. Do a search and your answer will be given.
Malibu,
Actually I did. I just got the word over and over in posts, and it's not in the SW glossary so i thought I'd ask..
A housemom is supposed to be a woman who takes care of the dancers. Depending on her attitude, availability, advice, supplies she brings, and food she makes she can be an angel sent from heaven or a minion of hell, both which expected to be tipped at the end of the night.
