Ivy

02 Who arrives

Ivy, and how she works.

Pressure, warmth, and where a phone should go so that it stops lighting up the room, those are the things she is precise about, and she leaves the rest alone. She and her partner for the evening work mirrored rather than merely parallel: what one does on the left, the other has already done on the right. Between Ukrainian, Russian and English she has enough to make two people feel looked after without either of them feeling managed. Her bookings run past midnight more often than they end early.

Ivy decides which bookings she takes and may decline any of them; she sets the limits for what a session includes, says what they are, and may end a visit at any point, as the terms set out.

She works outcall only, your hotel room, your serviced apartment, your own flat. Forty to sixty minutes across the centre once the booking is settled, at any hour. Schiphol airport hotels are by arrangement.
