On the last RHOBH, LisaVPump mentioned that her stepson, Warren Todd, has done “very well for himself” being a landlord for properties located in Notting Hill. After doing a bit of research, have found that Warren is the biggest landlord in the Admiral Vernon antiques market on Portobello Road.
From ALondonGuide:
Two years ago, Warren was involved in some controversy when he wanted his shops to go from a two-day week to seven-days-a-week. Warren’s “suggestion” was met with some disagreement from shop owners…
From TheStandard 2o11:
“Traders claim the change would turn the arcade into a chain store “clone” and set a precedent for the rest of the market.
Property investor Warren Todd, denies he plans to force the traders out and insists he just wants the market to modernise.
He said: “I have been approached many times about selling the Admiral Vernon and always refused. It is unlikely it will be open seven days a week, but many traders feel it would be useful to be open at least on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Rents would not rise immediately and a gradual, co-ordinated programme of extra opening would be rolled out.”
One of the strongest opponents to the change, Marion Gettleson, was issued a citation from Warren to stay outta his shops… from TheSourceMag.net:
Marion Gettleson, a campaigner for the Save the Portobello Road Market has been issued an Exclusion Zone by Warren Todd on all his shops and arcades.
As it has already been widely reported, Marion has been banned from entering several properties within Portobello Rd. The notice was hand delivered by Lee Clifford who works for the Warren Todd.So what has Marion done? Has she been damaging property? Has she been behaving anti-socially? Has she been caught taking illegal drugs within the premises? Has she been caught in any other illegal activity? ….Has she been groping Warren Todd (or any other form of sexual harassment)? ….No, none of the above…The crime is “Persistent leafleting/agitation of market traders”.Apparently the Portobello Group (i.e., Warren Todd) said that “Ms Gettleson is disruptive and inflammatory and traders are fed up with her politicking getting in the way of their work”.Marion says she’s being intimidated.
There was obviously an agreement reached… the Admiral Vernon shops are now open three days a week. From LondonTown.com…

Were you wondering who the additional mysterious New York Housewives are, who just might be attending Tamballs’ bachelorette par-tay?
If you guessed that Jillz was gonna show up at tonight’s “Housewives LIVE TOUR” in New Rochelle… you would be correct! Jillz don’t promote anything unless she’s involved… and Jillz is tweeting about Tamballs par-tay!
**Notice that Jillz has changed her name… she added “Kamen”…
NOTE: Will Tamballs’s par-tay actually take place?? IF Tamballs cancels her bash, the “official” excuse will probably be “bad weather”… however, the only reason any of these Housewives’ would ever cancel their event would be for poor ticket sales.
UPDATE: Tamballs is tryin’ desperately to PUSH those tickets!!! According to AllMediaNY…
“Only 200 public tickets have been released.”

Brandi Glanville’s Oscar dress was absolutely atrocious…
…and so was her hair! Any beauty school STUDENT knows that a sign of a great stylist is keeping those pins hidden!
Apparently, Brandi’s dress designer is also Brandi’s hair stylist… or is Brandi’s ghostwriter also her hair stylist?!
************************************
***********************************
There is a brand new “WatchWhatCrappens“… from the trifecta of funny!
That trifecta of funny includes ma boo, flipit/Ronnie from TVGasm… so git on over to TVGasm and give WWC a listen!!
We luvz our Ronnie!!!

Can you guess whose leg this is??? It is NOT one of the Housewives… however, she has been seen on a Bravo show!
(Thanks to SH readers “Ellen” “PMG” “Bob” and “cybraxis”!!!)
A little more of the same….with even the Jodi Arias making this blog

That veiny leg and flat foot looks like it belongs to man.Pretty gross if it is a real woman.
I think it is Mama Elsa’s leg.
I’ll second that guess!
Does the leg belong to Mama Elsa?
eeeeeeeeeeeeeew man gam
Sorry to say, but itt could be Mama Elsa’s cuz that leg looks as worn out as her face.
I think the leg belongs to Elaine Lancaster? Brandi and that dress again. I did not know who Brandi was until she was on the show; I didn’t really notice her when the scandal become public re-her exhusband; it would seem Brandi has a taste of 15 min of fame and is going to milk it. I am sure there were classier dresses she could have chosen? I wonder how her book is doing?
Yea that dress was awful.
I second that Buck…I am so surprised for someone who was doing fashion at the Oscars she would wear something like that.
I read somewhere that’s on the best seller list.
Did Brandi never take her husband’s surname…Cibrian? Or did she go back to Glamville after the big D? Inquiring minds…
Brandi went back to Glanville after her big D.
May,
Thanks!
You’re welcome
Brandi says she designed the dress herself. When has she ever worn anything “classy”?
After seeing that veiny leg photo – I will not be having spaghetti for lunch… or dinner…. or any other meal for the next year…
I just ate spaghetti for lunch before seeing that photo, let me tell you…it’s not settling easy!
Lisa and Warren are only 5 years apart, right? He looks way much younger than her, doesn’t he?
She is 16 years older that Warren.
Funny, Lisa claims she is only five years older than Warren.
Ken is 16 years older than Lisa. Lisa is 5 years older than Warren.
If you didn’t know any better, that picture of Warren and his wife looks like a pic of a son with his mom.
ITA…he is a handsome guy.
Adrienne’s leg.
lol
Sounds like there are there will be PLENTY of tickets available for Tam’s BEOTCH-lorette par-tay. The gig is promoted as “featuring many of your favorite housewives from across the country” — seems like there’s some false (desperate) advertising here. LOL
UPDATE: Only 200 tickets left! Hurry and be the first to actually buy one!
Interesting spin:
“As for the Wednesday night date, Brock explained, Tamra recently opened her new fitness studio, C.U.T. Fitness in Orange County. Her client book is extremely full on the weekends, so a weekday event worked best for her schedule.”
Uhh…the “event” was scheduled months ago, before her studio was open. Her client book was extremely empty at the time! Why don’t they just say Tammy and the promoters are too cheap to rent the facility at weekend rates?
Get them Dee!
cheap-cheap…cheap-cheap
Re: the groady (rhymes with toady) leg and tootisies, I cast my vote for Mrs. Caroline MANzo.
The leg belongs to that nasty dad George.
But on second thought I say Paul soon to be ex of transexual Ms. Maloof.
Ya know, I thought she was a transexual (not that there’s anything wrong with that) when I first saw/heard her. Hmm……..
One Radisson Plaza, New Rochelle. Hotel, Government Office Building, or Hi-Rise Jail Facility?
Is that leg MJ’s from Shah’s of Sunset?
I’ll bet the leg is Miss Andy’s……

I apologize for the triple post everybody…I do not know why this keeps happening?? Honestly I dont know why and this is very embarrassing to me.
Don’t feel bad I haven’t been able to get on long enough to do a decent post. My AOL browser keeps crashing. This seems to be the only site though that it’s happening on. I don’t know why but it’s frustrating. I’m lucky I got to do this much.
Oh Barb, this is my 4th time trying to write to you… I feel like a fool cuz my comments keep showing up 2 -4 times, but I feel for you and your AOL, I understand. I thank you for your compassion and your sense of humor…as you say ” I’m lucky I got to do this much” and I guess I am. xo:)
The leg looks like it could use some bioidenticals.
Could it be Suzanne Somers?
why was lisa opposed to warren marrying sue due to age difference?
21 yr old lisa married ken ( why didnt lisa take ken’s name?) …so why was she against warren marrying sue when they have the same age difference ?
Lisa did take Ken’s name… Lisa is professionally known as “Vanderpump” but uses Todd as her married name. SH
