Curvaceous: ten names, sorted by the week each one keeps
Ten women on this note, filed from frame and carried with some confidence: tailoring cut to follow the figure, good coats, colour worn without hesitation. It is the second longest note the board holds.
Since ten names is more than anybody can keep in their head, the desk sorts them by something useful instead, which is the week each one actually works. Weekends fill first here, the middle of the week is where the room is, and a few of these diaries open on a date rather than on a day.
Cast as Curvaceous
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.

Nancy lives inside the postcode and treats the weekend as hers, which is why Friday and Saturday go early. Ask on a Wednesday if you want a Friday. Golden blonde, blue eyed, thirty, and hard to dent. Molly starts at ten and her night only really begins once the theatres have emptied, dark waves, a red lip, house music at volume. Three hours at £700 suits either of them, for entirely different reasons.
The three who keep the quiet half of the week
Rosa works Sunday to Thursday and likes an afternoon start that rolls into dinner. Luna works Monday to Thursday and holds eight o'clock for herself, dark auburn red, direct, better informed about wine than most rooms she sits in. Bianka is at her best given a day of warning, because a day buys the table she actually wants and the long argument about the second bottle that follows it.
The two who answer fastest
Michelle usually replies inside the quarter hour and keeps most evenings open, which makes her the name for a plan assembled at six for eight. Milena decides quickly and expects you to as well, so a late request troubles her very little. A night through to morning with either is £1,800, and both are happy to be asked the same afternoon.
The three whose diaries open on a date
Thea walks hills, Roxi chases surf and Danielle travels in stretches, so all three have a landing date rather than a standing week. Each of their pages carries the day she is back and the evenings already being pencilled in behind it. Booking the first night home is perfectly ordinary here, and the desk will say if a date is still soft rather than confirmed.
What the note records
A frame, described the way the desk would describe it to somebody who has not seen a photograph, and nothing further. No measurements past height, no ranking, no house favourite. Six of the ten also appear on brunettes, two on raven haired, one on blondes and one on auburn and red, while four cross into statuesque or petite.
One rail, whichever week she keeps
A Saturday costs exactly what a Tuesday costs. Sixty minutes is £250, ninety £400, four hours at a table £900, with the fare inside the first two zones counted in rather than added on, and the full ladder printed on the rail. Nothing shifts for the hour of the night you write, and nothing shifts for the note you came in through.
Holding a long night
This note takes more of the long bookings than any other, so it is worth naming the shape as well as the hour. A night that runs through to coffee wants a little more notice, while an evening arranged for two of you can usually be settled the same day. Give the address, whether that is a room above the market or a flat up towards Kings Cross, and the desk does the rest.
Cast another way
Call the stage door
One message names the evening you want and the desk answers inside a quarter of an hour, at any point on the clock. Tell us the day, the hour, how long you would like and where she should come, and the rest is written down for you.
