Serious Business
By Valerie Lichman
“I never thought I’d do this.’ Please don’t
tell anybody.’ It was my friend’s idea.’ These
are the first words Janis Spindel often hears from her clients.
No, she’s not a Psychic Friend, bungie jumper or tattoo artist.
Janis Spindel is a matchmaker, and as a master at the world’s
second oldest profession, her clients come to her with fear, skepticism,
humor and most of all, hope.”
“Perspiration, inspiration and a teeny,
tiny, noodzh, slender and well dressed, this former
fashion executive works like any headhunter…a
whirlish dervish of a woman, Spindel is personification
of chutzpah. She’ll speak with anyone, anyplace,
and if they meet her standards, they’re in
her database.”
