Early twenties: ten names, and the manner they share
Ages on this sheet are read off a document held across a table rather than typed into a form, and they are printed because people ask, not because anybody should be chasing a number. Ten names fall between 22 and 24.
What they hold in common is a manner rather than a look: candid before it has been smoothed over, quick to change a plan without sulking about it, and in the middle of learning something properly. Below, the ten sorted by the way that shows up in company.

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.

Lucy knows where the coffee is made properly, walks slowly on purpose, and will tell you what is overhead at two in the morning because astronomy is a real habit rather than a line. Luna tastes wine attentively, photographs what she sees, and buys her own theatre tickets whether or not anybody is taking her. Tiffany photographs details rather than places, which is why she notices the thing you mentioned three hours ago and brings it back.
Candid, and quick with it
Stacy is dry, decisive and entirely comfortable with a plan made forty minutes ago. Roxi has no interest whatever in being mysterious and will have a flat mood dismantled before the first drink lands. Molly is warmth rather than gloss, funny at speed, and at her best long after the theatres have closed. None of the three needs managing, which is the useful part.
Learning a trade in earnest
Lea works in interiors, throws ceramics badly and deliberately, and collects small theatres with short runs; she laughs before you have finished the sentence. Bianka cooks southern Italian properly, wears forties dresses she can date on sight, and reads a wine list as a document rather than a menu. Both arrive with something to talk about that has nothing to do with the room.
Awake when the theatres empty
Jasmin dances three nights a week and counts nine o'clock as the opening rather than the halfway point. Angelika wants the later performance every time, tennis mornings notwithstanding. Between them these two carry most of the late bookings in this band, and around Tottenham Court Road a message at ten for the same night is entirely ordinary.
How it reads in company
Opinions arrive unrehearsed and get revised out loud. Enthusiasm is not hidden behind a manner. A changed plan is treated as the evening improving rather than as an inconvenience, which is why this band suits a night with no fixed running order written into it.
What the band is not
Nothing here implies inexperience, and nothing here is priced differently. These ten sit on the same rail as the rest of the sheet, £250 for sixty minutes and £500 for a pair of hours. Nobody should be chosen for a number, and the house does not write about these women that way. Each is an adult of 18 or over who chose this work, verified in person, free to decline a booking without giving a reason.
Neighbouring bands and other notes
The band above, late twenties, is the longest on the board at fourteen names, and thirties and beyond holds four. Within this one, five sit on brunettes, while raven haired and auburn and red take two apiece, and the frames run to curvaceous four times and petite three.
Holding an evening in this band
Give her name, the building and the hour, and expect an answer inside the quarter with a figure written down. The booking name and the room number are confirmed once in the same thread, and the slot is then hers. A night that keeps going after the last curtain is the booking this band fills most often.
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.
