Petra Kent

Long-legged libertine

I prefer not to make distinctions between art and life— the taste of a smoky scotch, the sound of a needle dropping on vinyl, the feel of well-made things draped around my tall and willowy frame, or a hand on the small of my back guiding me through a room. Sitting across from me for the first time you will notice my warm, slow way of speaking and a mischievous smile that tends to make people forget what they were talking about mid-sentence. Friends have told me I‘m magnetic, down-to-earth, and deeply embodied. I’m a tall drink of water with a “young Jane Birkin vibe”. In my day-to-day life I’m a voracious reader, art lover, and a student of the world. In a past life I was a competitive pianist, which took me across the globe, from Lyon, to Belgrade, to Mexico City. Still an avid traveler, I’m always looking to add more stamps to my passport(s). I make my own rules and enjoy the company of those who know what they want and how to get it, who aren’t afraid to bend convention to find their joy. Whether you seek a confidante, muse, or something in between, together we can pursue all the pleasures lost in the rush of modern life. The only thing I love more than making real, deep connections is seeing those connections blossom over time. Let’s conjure a world all our own. INTERESTS Red leather booths, mahogany, cigar bars, and scotch on the rocks. Classics and twists on classics. Gastronomic delights, from Michelin-starred multi-course experiences to hole-in-the-wall gems. Vintage clothes and archival fashion. Silk, lace, and all things made to last. Dark humor and sharp wit. The scent of sandalwood and bergamot. Old films, new films, and art of all kinds. I’m something of a cinephile, but I’m no snob. I enjoy the latest Hong Sang-Soo as much as the tacky slasher film with 38% on Rotten Tomatoes. Long walks, forest hikes, fast cars, slow mornings, and good manners. ––– Based in Los Angeles San Francisco, minimum 4 hrs New York City, minimum 6 hrs
