Harper

Firm work: sustained pressure along the spine, held in place rather than repeated until something gives. At twenty-seven she has a confidence that usually arrives a decade later. De Pijp is her ground, and she is at most hotel doors inside the hour, day or night. The plainness gets mistaken for coldness for about four minutes, and then it stops being mistaken for anything. Longer bookings suit her better than short ones, and an evening out first is welcome rather than tolerated.

Harper 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 across central Amsterdam, most often around De Pijp, and she does not keep a studio. Sessions run from a single hour to the eight-hour overnight.
