Gretchen Rossi Will Teach You How To Empower Yourself Through Strategic Dating
June 29, 2009 by Maria Diaz
A gang of Bravo-lebrities will be attending at the “Women’s Empowerment Conference & Expo” in late August in Long Beach, California including Kelly Rowland of The Fashion Show, Tyson Beckford of Make Me A Supermodel, Padma Lashkmi of Top Chef and Patti Stanger of Millionaire Matchmaker. Gretchen Rossi has signed on to be the spokesperson for the conference.
The whole event looks to be a huge informercial, considering it plans to “empower” by giving you a makeover and teaching you how to improve yourself through purchasing any of the products that will be advertising at the expo.

Well if anyone has learned a lesson in this area it would be her. I felt so bad for her when her psycho ex-boyfriend was stalking her relentlessly. I bet she knows the warning signs now and stays the heck away from psycho people like Jay and Tamra.
Good for her, she seems to be doing a lot these days and has a happy life.
Well, she’s staying so far away from them she’s doing another season of Housewives!
Wow, you think if I attend the seminar I can get pointers on how to date/use the same kind of quality men that Gretchen has and wind up with a HUNK like Slade? Gretchen’s a serial dater, cheater and has no current JOB other than being a famewhore that I can see. No thanks.
DUH, I mean Tamra, GET A LIFE and stop stalking Gretchen. Yes she is the hottest housewife who actually has a career (unlike you and your ugly broke, uneducated husband and your creepy date raping son).
You can’t stand the fact that she is the hottest housewife and has money and can have any man she wants.
You had to settle for some beat troll and now you have nothing but debt and too many ugly kids to support.
I’m not Tamra, Jay, Ryan, Simon or anyone else personally involved with RHOC castmembers. I am merely an amateur gossip columnist who lives in the OC and a big fan of the show with an opinion about Gretchen and other castmembers like everyone else.
So far I haven’t seen any happy endings resulting from Gretchen’s adventures in “strategic dating”. I would like to know what G thinks defines success in this Dating Game.
Tamra’s job is stay-at-home wife and mother + launching a make-up line with ACTUAL PRODUCT for sale.
What’s Gretchen’s current job again? Refresh my memory.
“amateur gossip columnist”……LOL!!!!!!! So where exactly can anyone read your column??????…….um you are either a psycho STALKER, or Tamra (same thing since Tamra stalks Gretchen) . Going to the courthouse….following Gretchan around like a stupid puppy, yeah looks like she needs to get a restraining order against you.
But see Gretchen actually is a REAL realtor (Tamra was never a realtor, she never sold anything) and has won awards for her career in that.
She is also in People magazine all the time, companies actually want to work with her. Everyone knows who she is and they like her.
Tamra has no cosmetics line, it’s someone else’s and Tamra ain’t making anything because no one wants to buy products from a leatherface. She is just as broke as she ever was.
She isn’t even college educated (Grechen is) and she has never had a real job in her life. The Barney family is broke, beat and over their heads in debt (county records do not lie) with too many kids they cannot support. They are a joke.
Oh and her oldest son is also uneducated, unemployed and posts pics of his tiny penis all over the internet…..guess that’s how kids turn out when their mom is a drunk whore.
I wonder how the OC filming is going… someone needs to spy on them.. like the Survivor spies.. who lives in the OC? Who is the new OC housewife?
Where are these county records showing that the Barneys are head over heels in debt? Put up or shut up.
Tamra worked closely with Mrs. Dr. Ambe to develop the make-up line. Gretchen’s is still “coming soon”. Hah
Tamra was a fitness instructor when she was a struggling single mother and last time I checked raising small children and running a household IS a real 24/7 job.
See all you Gretchen kool-aid drinkers around mid-July when a new tell-all special airs. I’m going to Costco to buy an extra-large box of popcorn for all the fun.
DUH, Tamra does not have a cosmetics line. There is no “product” that you speak of. She mentions some lip gloss that she liked that her plastic surgeon sells but she isn’t even on his website.
Sorry, but do a search and there is no Tamra cosmetic line, must be yet another one of her lies.
Of all things for her to sell cosmetics would be the last since she has the worst skin I have seen, she looks like she is 50.
Tamra mentioned she was going to do a skin care line in the video that was posted on Radar. She’ll likely be shilling it in Season 5 of RHOC like Ramona did on RHONYC.
Of all the housewives, Tamra’s kids probably get the least screen time of any of the others, there were certainly no episodes centered around them like there were around say, Gia and the kids were not in the room during the “Naked Wasted” episode (unlike Danielle’s girls who were in the room).
The “county records” that Heather is referring to is probably commenters on other blogs mentioning that Tamra’s house is heavily mortgaged. Since I’m not in the real estate business, I don’t have access to those records, so I have no idea. Tamra did take her house off the market. Jeana Keough looks like she is in far more trouble and had to stop paying her mortgages to get loan modifications and help from the government, yet no one calls Jeana “trailer trash” even though she IS accepting government handouts.
Tamra does have her agent lisence, like Jeana & Gretchen. The only one who has really made a long term career out of it has been Jeana. I remember comments on other sites that Gretchen had only made a small amount of sales — it doesn’t mean she didn’t make a lot of money since the houses she sold were worth a lot, but as far as who has a “real” career in real estate, Jeana is the only one who can really claim that.
Honestly, ladies, I think both of these women stretch the truth a little bit, but I don’t blindly take sides.
The only site that has supposed info on the new housewife is… The Dirty.
Maria, Watch the episode again, the kids are in the kitchen at the end of the night when Ryan was grabbing Gretchen’s ass trying to take advantage of her. You can also see them in the background when Tamra is slurring her words in the kitchen and being very loud.
I feel bad for her kids for having a mom humiliate them by acting like that on tv.
OC register posters (who I assume are her neighbors) posted how the kids are constantly pawned off to babysitters and that she really doesn’t spend time with them (which explains why they aren’t really showed much).
To follow any mom who spends time with her kids would be impossible not to have the kids in there really. Teresa spends all her time with her girls so that is what we see.
Here’s a link about the cosmetics line:

I agree that Tamra was into real estate more as a hobby than a career and jumped on the bandwagon a couple of years too late. Also that she and Simon are upside-down in their mortgage. But being upside-down doesn’t mean you’re not making the payments. Tamra has her faults like everyone else and drinking too much alcohol in front of the kiddies is one of them.
Those links only confirm that this is not her cosmetics line, but her doctors. The other link only says his products are a few of her favorites but nowhere does it say this is her cosmetic line.
Drinking too much in front of your kids really doesn’t fall into a normal fault like everyone else, it’s dispicable and neglectful and can damage them forever.
Children deserve a responsible adult who will care for them and not act like trash the way she does. This woman obviously should not have had children with the way she acts. Her oldest son is the biggest screw up, and yet she keeps breeding more idiots.
Being a crappy mom is the lowest a person can sink frankly.
Yeah it is obvious those cosmetics are the doctors and not Tamra’s, her name is nowhere on the product. My guess is since she is broke and can’t afford botox anymore she made a deal with him to talk about his products on tv for free treatments.
God knows she needs it, she has the skin of an 80 year old.
DUH, So where exactly do you see Tamra’s name on the product? Or the website? There is nothing in writing on that website that even gives Tamra any credit whatsoever for any product…..yeah but that’s her cosmetic line? LOL! Nice try.
Oh and OC register thread (which everyone has seen and the link was even posted on Bravofan) posted the actual terms of a FORTY year mortgage (who gets a 40 year mortgage????) and showed how the Barney’s borrowed so much against their house (WAY more than the house is even worth). They are beyond upside down.
So why don’t you put up or shut up because everything you have said that Tamra is doing is a lie (even about being a mom and spending time with her kids, lol).
Upside-Down does not equal bankrupt.
Tamra does spend time with her kids. In fact I see one of the little critters here in this photo shoot of a family fun day at the beach. Tamra is SIZZLING HOT as usual in the hot pink bikini. I prefer to look at Simon who is equally hot . . . and no censorship needed to protect the children like SOMEONE’s latest horsie-faced picture in that DIRTY unmentionable website. LOL

Yuk, those pics of Tamra are not attractive. I will take pics of Gretchen any day over those, at least Gretchen is hot.
Duh I think you need to get your eyes checked. She looks pretty rough and is too old for that bathing suit, has the cottage cheese on her legs that should be covered up at her age.
Judging from the comments on there I am not alone in thinking she is definitely NOT hot.
I’m much younger than Tamra and just a few years younger than Gretchen and would be content looking like either of them. I’m sure everyone talking smack about Tamra is a bikini model themselves. Let’s go back to talking about the one person we can all agree is kinda sleazy: SLADE!
I am a size 2 and the mother of 3 and I am a couple of years younger than Tamra and I have to say she just looks rough. I think it is the sun damage.
I do think she wears clothes and bathing suits that are way too young for her age, she always looks like she is trying so hard to look younger which only welcomes criticism.
Some women can have 5 kids and pull off a bikini and some can have 1 and cannot. She needs to wear the skirt bathing suit for sure, she does have the stuff on the backs of her legs. She needs to accept the fact that she is no longer 20 years old.
I agree with Maria, I DON’T think Slade would look HOT in a bikini!
I don’t know, Slade does have a rockin hard body. I wouldn’t mind seeing him in just about anything
.
You like this picture, Janet? Date my hobo.

I think he is one of the few men that can pull anything off. I don’t know him so it’s not like I’m a fan. But he is definitely hot.
DUH, You must be either Tamra or a family member. You think Tamra is hot??? Youve’ got to be kidding, she looks like any average 50 year old woman except she has some major sun damage. And Simon??? Good God he isn’t even cute.
I am not crazy about Gretchen or Tamra frankly but you have to admit that Gretchen is gorgeous and does have a perfect body (and yes it makes me sick) but it is what it is.
Gretchen & Slade are very good looking people, you can’t even compare tamra & simon to them because they just are not an attractive couple to begin with. Maybe you do need to get your eyes checked.
I can’t stand Angelina Jolie but that doesn’t mean she isn’t hot either.
