Brunettes: fifteen names, cast by the shape of the evening

The longest note the board carries, and the one most in need of sorting. Fifteen women in every shade between sandy balayage and espresso, which on its own tells you very little. So the desk casts them the way it casts a night, by the shape of evening each one takes on best.

Five shapes, fifteen names, one set of figures. Sixty minutes is £250 whichever of them arrives, three hours £700, four at a table £900, and the whole ladder sits on the rail.

Cast as Brunettes

Plain facts, checked in person, never a guess. Every badge opens her pass, where the same details sit beside her rail and her photo call.

From £250Today

01 Scene

Cast for a long table

Bianka is 165 cm, softly curved, hazel eyed, and will have formed a view on the second bottle before the first is empty. Michelle is 173 cm and genuinely talkative, the name that makes a table of strangers behave. Samanta plays the violin daily, arrives exactly when she said she would and holds strong opinions about hotel bars. Liana reads French novels in French and moves at the pace of a weeknight that declines to be hurried. Four hours at £900 is the shape all four wear well.

02 Scene

Cast for daylight

Lucy walks slowly on purpose, knows where the coffee is made properly and can spend a whole afternoon inside one museum without checking the time once. Laura begins her day at midday, asks questions that are actually questions, and often says yes to the same afternoon. Rosa works Sunday to Thursday and will steer you into a record shop on the way to dinner, then bake about it later in the week. Three hours at £700 is the usual length for any of them.

03 Scene

Cast for the hours after the curtain

Molly starts at ten and finds the small hours easier going than the early evening, red lip, dark waves, house music at volume. Jasmin dances salsa three nights a week and is wide awake at the hour most evenings are folding up. Stacy is 176 cm, photographs streets after dark and has no fear whatever of a decision taken late. £500 buys two hours with any of the three, a bar and something quiet afterwards.

04 Scene

Cast for an evening with no clock in it

Vanessa rushes nothing, ever, and knows every garden square shortcut between here and the canal. Tiffany wants a slow start written into the evening and notices small things she will bring back three hours later. Margo is still in company in a way that makes other people slow down to match her. Sonya keeps a window between five and ten, which is the shape of an early curtain and a calm supper after it.

05 Scene

Cast at an hour's notice

Tina lives four streets from most of the lobbies on the circuit, which is why she is the name the desk reaches for when a message lands at nine for a nine thirty. 158 cm, espresso brown, extremely funny about her own neighbourhood, and half an hour has been known to be enough. Sixty minutes at £250 buys a drink somewhere nearby, and £500 turns it into a full evening around Covent Garden.

06 Scene

One word, fifteen readings of it

Brunette here covers sandy brown lightened through the lengths at one end and near black at the other, with chestnut, chocolate and plain dark brown in between. Six wear it straight, three in curls or waves, the rest somewhere between the two, and heights run from 158 cm to 176 cm. The note sorts none of that, so if your eye is on the darker end, raven haired holds six names beyond it and auburn and red three to the warm side.

07 Scene

Narrowing fifteen down to two

Send the desk an hour, an address and one sentence describing the night you picture, and the answer names two women rather than fifteen. Crossing this note with a frame note, petite or statuesque, does the same job in a single step. Confirmation then goes to whichever of the two the diary can genuinely give you, and a table before the curtain is the booking this note fills most often.
