It seems the world is presently overflowing with people (Wot us??!) prepared to tell you just how fabulously we could lead our lives if only we knew the right places, right people, and had enough money. |

Last week, The Sunday Times introduced us to the world's most exclusive 'fixers' (aka connected multi-taskers/ass lickers) and the week prior saw the launch of travel style guide Navigator, Wallpaper's latest venture, arming you with the tools to 'fix' a trip yourself. One-upmanship doesn't come easy these days. But today the boys from Quintessentially - Ben Elliot, Aaron Simpson and Luca del Bono, with a helping hand from Tom Parker Bowles (wonder why Prince Charlie will be attending the launch party?) - add a print version of their services to the 'fix-it' world. If you still haven't heard of Quintessentially (who are you?), the "Global Private Members Club" promises to organise pretty much any experience you desire (fancy holidays, entry to nightclubs, kebabs, limousines, that sort of thing) should you fork out for the annual fee. You may not be willing to pay the dues (at 650 quid upwards per year), but if you can read Quintessentially's tips on How To Lord It, for the price of a mag, that can't be bad at all. |
