Hopefully the “website enhancements” are complete before her 3-month-supply-that-sold-out-in-3-weeks has been restocked…just saying.
“Gretchen Christine Beaute is in the process of adding some additional website enhancements, please be patient with us while we make these improvements. Thank you so much for your interest in Gretchen Christine Beaute and please check back with us soon.”
Warmest Regards,
Gretchen Christine Rossi

They both either have the money or they don’t. Pay up or go to jail, like the rest of us. These two couldn’t be shadier if they tried. Thanks for your great reporting on this!

No wonder Jim Bellino and Slade are best buds – they are both cut from the same cloth.
Did y’all see how they worked Vicki over together on the Reunion show?
Jay P is no nutcase; I think he’s been onto this whole scene from Day 1 – the only difference is he got there first before the rest of us.
Jay: I hope you really take her to the cleaners. Something has to give, and it obviously ain’t gonna be BravoTV or Andy.

Stalk people much? You are a joke. My wife ordered from her and was beyond thrilled with her purchase. Really great reporting! Dosen’t just piss you off when people are smarter, more successful and more popular than you?

Jerry,
That would be “doesn’t”

Gretchen is an opportunistic con artist; it’s the reason why her and Slade are made for each other.
I don’t believe that the makeup line sold out. I think the story is probably spot on, and the supplier isn’t happy with the payment coming from Slade’s paypal account because Slade’s taking the money!
Why is the website set up to accept payment only through Slade’s paypal? Does anyone know the reason? Is it because Gretchen is trying to hide the money she got from Jeff — and she did get money from him — so that she can continue to play the Florence Nightingale routine? Or is she hiding her assets from the court-appointed forensic accountants?

What an A*S you are Jerry. By the way, doesn’t it piss you off when people are smarter than you????
LOL

Women are “beyond thrilled” with a makeup purchase from Chanel, Dior, Guerlain, Smashbox, MAC Cosmetics, Bobbi Brown, or Chantecaille among other high-end brands.
Gretchen Christine Beootay?? No.
You must not get out very often and buy your wife cosmetics for her to supposedly get excited over some cheap no-name off-label stuff!
A corollary would be to get frothed-up about a new-issue paper gold ETF instead of holding real bullion in hand. Duh!
btw, are you Jim Bellino? LOL

Wow, I wonder how many people realize now Jay Photoglou WAS telling the truth all along? I am glad he pressed forward with his suit, these 2 seemed to think they were invincible.
Her parents must be so proud!!!!!!!!!!!

And, can anyone explain why Gretchen is still wearing the “engagement” ring from Jeff? She’s been shacking up with Slade for over a year, and with Jay before that. Isn’t it awful disrespectful and sleazy for her to be wearing that ring?
Maybe she should hock the ring at Taliban Jim’s pawn shop to pay for a new supply of her spackling compound makeup.

Don’t reputable businesses usually set up as a merchant through a bank and processor that accepts debit and credit cards. They then make sure that their site is secured to pass along card info.
I can go buy Revlon off the shelf and stick on a label with my name, but it doesn’t make it MY product nor does it take months to create… Also – I like how the make up artist slipped and said when SHE had the idea for the makeup… and when the makeup artist was at Gretchen’s and had all ready picked out the colors. Sounds like Gretchen Christine had so much involvement with the make up – and when she was getting ready for the finale in the closet – was she even using her own make up? Lynn has the good sense to never take off her cuffs!

Gretchen continues to tell everyone via Twitter “we r sold out right now check back end of this week or the beginning of the next week!” and “Completely sold out of 3 months stock in 3 weeks!” Please!!
She also said if Slade asked her to marry him she would say yes. He must have agreed to a lease!!!

I think Gretchen is seeing how much attention Bethenny Frankel is getting for agreeing to televise her wedding, and she wants a piece of that pie.
A marriage to Slade would be just another hare-brained money making deal for Gretchen. Marrying Slade would bring her media attention and probably a lot of freebies from sponsors. Who cares if he’s not her “ideal” man, or that he can’t give her the children she wants? It would bring in cash, and that’s the bottom line with Gretchen.
I firmly believe that something happened to Gretchen early in life for her to have such an Electra complex.

On the Reunion show Andy said that Bravo had gotten thousands of emails complaining of Slade – the public just doesn’t like or trust the guy so I don’t think Gretchen would get sponsor deals or positive media attention if she were to marry Slade like Bethenny got.
If she got media attention, most likely it would be in the form of “what is she thinking?” or “trainwreck ahead.”
Bethenny is getting married to a regular honest guy. Not the same as Slime.

@Lizzie She wouldn’t get that much for the ring considering it’s not even real!!! She probably still wears it because Slade can’t afford one big enough to cover up that tattoo!!!

Gretchen is buying “her” makeup through an internet company called Lady Burd Cosmetics. She is buying these already made cosmetics and slapping her name on them and then selling them as her own. What a huge LIAR she is, claiming she started a “Makeup Company”!!!! What a FAKE, PHONEY LIAR!!!

also google Jeff Beitzel Foundation and try to make a donation… remember all the PROCEEDS from her song were to be donated to it…what you can’t find about the Foundation? Huh, that’s weird… so if the song didn’t make any money to begin with, I guess it’s not really an issue. After she pays back to producer, then pays herself and then her manager, the $2.58 from the 2 people who bought the song wouldn’t really go far.

@curious karma I had searched for the foundation in January to put a link up http://www.whatsleftofmyhead.com/reality-bytes/patronizing-people/ and was unable to find anything either…

I read a statement from LLS today admmiting they mis-led Gretchen regarding the memorial fund and they publicly appologised. Why havent you posted that?
