Margo, refined Oud-Zuid escort and art lover

Contemporary art is the key to Margo, though she will not hand it over easily. Stand beside her at the Stedelijk, in front of the canvas everyone else walks straight past, and she will tell you what she sees in it in three calm sentences, then leave you wondering whether she was entirely serious or gently teasing. That is the mystery she enjoys, and at 31 she wears it beautifully. She rarely raises her voice and never needs to; people simply lean in.

Refined and unhurried, Margo stands 166 cm with a slim frame, long straight dark brown hair and brown eyes that give away very little until she decides they should. Her look is vintage-inspired lounge elegance, black lace in warm lamplight, the mood of a piano bar a few steps below street level where the conversation matters more than the cocktails. There is something of a well-kept secret in her presence, the woman at the far end of the bar whose story you only learn in fragments, each one better than the last. Calm is her natural state, and it is contagious; people who arrive with a racing day behind them tend to find it has quietly evaporated within the hour.

She plays the piano herself, mostly late at night, mostly old standards slowed until they sound like confessions. Gardening is her surprising counterweight. She tends her plants with great patience and admits, if pressed, that she talks to them, which is roughly as much as she reveals on a first evening. The rest you earn slowly, over a second glass, when she finally tells you which painting she would steal from the Rijksmuseum if the guards looked away, and why. Her answer is never the famous one, and her reasoning is always worth hearing. Late in the evening, if the room looks out over water, she likes to dim the lights and watch the reflections drift on the canal, saying nothing at all for a minute, which somehow says a great deal. She lives in Oud-Zuid, within sight of the museums she loves, and finds the lantern-lit waters of De Wallen just as inspiring as any gallery wall. Angelika brings a livelier temperament to the same passion for art, while Karolina shares Margo's devotion to the keys. Either way, the evening is yours to direct.
