Tiffany

Tiffany is Eastern European, thirty-two, and stands five foot eight — blonde, hazel-eyed, and softly curved in a way photographs do not quite do justice to.

She is new to this, and she is not pretending otherwise. Not a girl finding her feet, but a woman in her thirties who decided on it herself and still finds the whole thing genuinely exciting. Nothing about her is rehearsed yet, and the warmth is not a technique.

She speaks English and Russian, and she is easy company from the first minute — unguarded, quick to laugh, and far more interested in you than in performing. A glass of wine or a margarita, and she will happily let an hour go by before anything else does.

Off the clock she keeps it simple. Lululemon and Aritzia, lilies on the table, and a slow evening over a rushed one every time.
