One thing i noticed about her dealing with conflicts between girls, is when girls would complain abouto ther girls she would almost always agree with them without trashing the other girl. Sometimes I would notice that girl A would come down and bitch about girl B and she would listen, show that she understood girl As side of the story, and girl A would return to the floor appeased. Then girl B would come down and bitch about hte same story but on the opposing side, and the housemom would do the same thing. And then usually girl A and B wouldnt fight. She also would rarely kick us out of the dressing room, which i liked. We are independent contractors and as far as i am concerned, our only obligations should be to get to work on time, get ready on time, and be on stage when we have to. She would however remind us to go upstairs if there were customers. She was also funny and entertaining and good at cheering girls up. She also would listen to other problems we had and offer advice... to be honest i kind of saw her as a second mom! The other girls did too i think... we all loved her. I never felt angry at tipping her 10$ min at the end of the night.
