If you want to selectively hire a butler for special occasions and events, or just want to test drive the experience of having your own personal butler - look no further than Randolphs.
This firm specialises in supplying highly trained butlers to the rich and famous. They guarantee a discreet service and will “anticipate everything and overlook nothing” - sounds perfect!
Steven Randolph who runs Randolph’s has a fine pedigree. According to their web site:
“Steven J Randolph established Randolphs in 1999, having learnt his trade at Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle and the British Embassy in Paris before becoming head butler at the Lanesborough Hotel in London. His experience also includes the hosting and managing of successful VIP events such as Royal Ascot and Henley Royal Regatta.”
What better way to get your first experience of a personal butler….
If you want a luxury couture dress, fit for the red carpet - you don’t necessarily have to splash out thousands of dollars.
One Night Stand, a dress hire establishment based in the UK, stocks more than 500 uber apparel items from top international designers.
Joanna Doniger the proprietor of One Night Stand, works with many celebrities from film, music and TV who can afford to be a little bit adventurous with their outfit choice, without price tag guilt.
Given that much of their stock retails for many thousands of dollars, it can prove really convenient and cost effective to pay $300 for one night’s hire.
At the very least it could save you the hassle of auctioning off all the surplus frocks you only ever wore once…
If you want to feel like your mixing it with the best celebs, then you might have to think about acquiring a designer pooch. But what if you don’t want to take on a dog full time?
Well, Flexpetz might offer the solution.
They enable you to rent-a-dog for around £25 ($50) per day. Not bad if you need to have the ultimate doggy fashion accessory. The Flexpetz service is due to also launch in London - Spring 2008.
