La gatera de Beguemot

Looking for someone to curate your life? Need a personal concierge whose expertise is not picking up dry-cleaning but helping chose your wardrobe, your tastes, your friends? Ms. Storr calls herself a personal manager, but her duties go far beyond that. Her clients, all of them men, pay monthly fees of $4,000 to $10,000 to have her be their personal decider in nearly all things lifestyle-related.Calling on assistants including a stylist and a caterer, Ms. Storr helps people figure out their tastes. If they are single, she enhances their social profile (though she insists she is not a matchmaker). She currently works with eight men, she says. (She has had only one female client, who needed help relocating after a divorce.)Most of Ms. Storr’s clients are single and too preoccupied with work to organize their personal lives, she says. They are either moving to Manhattan or live in the city part-time and covet her contacts, which she uses to link them with interior designers, contractors, art dealers or potential social acquaintances. “I get people together in a room and let them figure it out for themselves,” said Ms. Storr, 39, a petite blonde with intense blue eyes who seems constantly happy and curious. “I help clients expand their social circle by looking at things they are interested in. If I think two people should meet, I might encourage an introduction, but it’s an organic process.” (Marriage is an outside chance. She claims one since opening Allison Storr & Company in 2005.)

Yo quiero una! Pero ni tengo dinero para contratarlas, ni habilidad para escogerlas.
