Seven small framed, and what the tape says
Petite is filed here from frame as much as from the measurement. A small build carried lightly, a quick step, and a way of taking a room that never needed the height to do it. Seven women qualify, and the spread of numbers below is wider than people expect, because one of them is small framed at 169 cm and one is athletic at 158.
Every figure on this page was taken standing, without heels, and none of them has been rounded in a helpful direction. Read it alongside the board, where each of the seven has her own hours and her own postcode.
158 cm, and built like a runner
Tina is the smallest measurement on the roster and the strongest frame on this page, athletic, with long espresso brown hair and an economical way of moving. She boxes at a gym off Mare Street three mornings a week and is matter of fact about it. She takes the stairs at Hackney Central two at a time and is quick to laugh once she has your measure, which takes about four minutes.
160 cm, twice over
Jasmin is 160 cm and petite with it, chestnut brown hair long and straight, in a jacket a size too big and trainers she will not apologise for until dinner. Rosa is the same height and curvy rather than slight, chestnut curls, colour in her clothes on a street full of grey, and genuinely curious rather than politely curious, which is a different thing entirely.
161 and 162 cm
Lea is 161 cm, petite, auburn waves, hazel eyes, and small handed enough that a wine glass looks oversized in front of her. Sonya is 162 cm, compact and strong through the shoulders, dark brown hair worn straight and hazel eyes that take their time. She rows on the Thames at an hour most people would call unreasonable.
163 cm, slender with it
Lucy is 163 cm and slender, dark brown hair curling of its own accord, brown eyes, and a face that gives away almost nothing until she smiles. She works the City edge at Aldgate on weeknights, crosses the High Street in heels she can actually walk in, and would rather ask you one real question than six polite ones.
The one the tape argues with
Tiffany is 169 cm and small framed with it, which sounds like a contradiction until she stands up and you notice the height for the first time that evening. Long chocolate brown hair, light on her feet, punctual to the minute and quietly proud of it. She works the Boundary Street end of Shoreditch and is never the last to arrive.
What the page records and what it leaves alone
Height and build, and nothing further. Nobody here is on this page for being smaller than somebody else, none of the seven is described in relation to another, and the numbers are the ones taken in the room where the pictures were made. Frame is described, never scored.
Where the seven also appear
Six of them sit on brunettes, one on auburn and red, and two on toned and athletic. By age the seven split across all three bands, with Lea on early twenties and Sonya on thirties and beyond. These are the names that fill the shortest bookings on the site, so a room call at £250 is the usual first message. The ladder is on rates.
Other shortlists
The trains stop. We do not.
One message with the date, the time and the postcode, and the rest of the night is arranged quietly, anywhere from Hoxton down to the basin at Limehouse.
