Busy Lawyer Compares His Life-Stylist to ‘Outsourced Wife’
A partner at a New York law firm doesn’t want to reveal his name, but he did tell the New York Times he is a client of lifestyle manager Allison Storr.
The 39-year-old Storr helps her clients by arranging parties, tracking down the right hairstylist, finding trendy places to visit, choosing the right wardrobe and even finding potential friends.
“Ms. Storr calls herself a personal manager, but her duties go far beyond that,” the Times says. “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.”
The law partner told the Times that Storr helped organize a successful ’80s theme party at his house in the Hamptons for about 200 friends on a $5,000 budget. He thinks of her as an outsourced wife. “The nice thing is that when I ask her to do something, she gets it done and there’s no negative feelings,” he said.
An interior designer who helps one of Storr’s clients describes her unusual business this way: “Allison collects people and shares them.”
