According to something I read, Villa Blanca had been having financial problems for a few years due to a couple of lawsuits being filed.  I seem to recall they had to pay damages on at least one of them.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if VB isn't the only restaurant that ends up closing for good.  


@Lipstickdiva  She said she closed it for good.

I wanted to share this. It's pics and an article about Gretchen and Slade's daughter's first birthday party. She's dressed as a mermaid and really cute though the entire event is over the top. Check it out!

Wow! These kids birthday parties are so outrageous! Where did Gretchen and Slade get the money for all of this I wonder? 


@CANDLEQUEEN  I know. Isn't that something?! I recall Gretchen not being able to pay her rent or credit card bills within the last year or so. She was being sued by I believe it was American Express. I can't help but wonder if she's still not spending beyond her means.


@colliemom4 She probably still is. I mean I am sure People Magazine paid her a pretty penny to feature the party, but still that is being very extravagant to not have money! Maybe she is hoping to get back on RHOC, now that Vickie and Tamra are gone! lol! 


..and they had this Lavish Party during a Pandemic...go figure. 


@DREAMON @colliemom4  @CANDLEQUEEN , the colors of that party are gorgeous.  But who is that party for?  No child turning 1 is going to remember that.  No child at any age would care about that kind of stuff.  That party was over the top and showing off for the adults.  Look at what Gretchen is wearing.  Every mom should wear a dress slit up to her hip and acrylic heels for their child's first birthday party.

@Lipstickdiva  Yes. The way things are going in that industry I know many won't survive. It wouldn't surprise me a bit if they did close down.
