From the Gawker:
How the Real Housewives Shill for Their Real Husbands
Alexis Bellino, the newest cast member of The Real Housewives of Orange County is continuing a grand Real Housewives tradition—she’s using the show to try and shore up her husband’s various business “interests.”
In a recent blog post on the Bravo website, Alexis posted that she and her husband Jim (“Taliban Jim,” as Television Without Pity has dubbed him) own a boutique hotel called “In Vogue” in Laguna Beach, “so if you are interested in visiting us here in Southern California, you must come stay with us!”
It’s never really been clear exactly what Jim Bellino does. (Update: As a couple commenter’s have pointed out, Jim has a background in pawn shops and house flipping. He seems to have also taken to CL to push his pawn business: “I LOAN MONEY!!!!!!YOU MUST HAVE COLLATERAL…NO CREDIT SCORES NO JOB I DONT CARE I CARE ABOUT THE ASSET.”)
Now, apparently, Jim is trying to get into the hotel business, and using Alexis to help. He’s opened “In Vogue,” which is now advertising on such exclusive sites as Craigslist: “BRAND NEW! A BOTIQUE [sic] HOTEL.” I couldn’t find any trace of it on TripAdvisor, but in the ad Jim writes: “CALL JIM FOR WEEKLY AND MONTHLY SPECIALS, CALL ME AT 949-322-4900. I AM DEALING!”
Indeed.
LOL @ “Botigue” They are such trash, Jim is a loanshark and Alexis is practically a hooker. Anything for money.
I just checked out the website. The realestate is ok and there are some nice views but very cheap looking suites. Lots of cheap wood. It looks as if many of the furnishings came from IKEA. Ok for a dorm room but not a boutique hotel.
I would stay there, but only if Bellino was not involved. Shady.
I think its great if you want to stay in Laguna Beach with Jim and Alexis, he is dealing with his free ads on Craigslist. I thought they were rich, so why are they using free ads for buying and selling pawn shop junk, hotel rooms and renting Alexis out to whoever will pay the most for her a**.
Jim answers if you want to discuss his religion, as he says he knows so much about religion as it is a great way to control women, or that is control Alexis or the show, or selling a old gold bracelet for a loan right from Jim. He will buy the cheapest jewelry you have, so bring some down to his pawn shop, they need something to sell so he can pay for alexis’s tan, nails, hair, surgery, clothes,…
“CALL JIM FOR DAILY, WEEKLY AND MONTHLY SPECIALS, CALL ME AT 949-322-4900. I AM DEALING” I heard they are desperate for money so he even will sell their hotel rooms by the hour. Pretty cool or is that pretty hot? or pretty scary….
I can’t wait until these two fall down the ladder and land on their lying asses…she’s a pathetic wimp with no opinion and he’s an arrogant douche bag…I’m thankful there’s 3,000 miles between be and them. She calls him her king, but the only thing he’s capable of being royalty to is brainless fluff with dollar signs in her eyes!
LMAO. hypocrites much?
Kia is also a great alternative from the Asian manufacturers. I was recently looking at Headquarter Kia in Atlanta at a Sorrento.
y doesn’t ugly jimbo stop giving money 2 that gold digger. no nannys, no housekeepers, no tans, nails, hair, clothes or gems. but her ass in a kia then we’ll c how long she stays. is that stupid ugly jim 4 real ? Does he really think she loves him? good luck making money in this economy jim, cuz when the money is gone so is lexie. now u have 3 kids with her & u will pay her big bucks 4ever, dummy. all of a sudden she’ll be screaming the D word. watch her drop religion right quick.
Excuse me but didn’t Jesus throw the money lenders out of the Temple? (he’s a pawn shop owner/lends money) What a couple of tards, she seems to have about a 30 IQ and Taliban Jim looks like he’d lift your wallet at the track.
I just love me some Botique Hotels. Isn’t Laguna Beach nearly all gay now? I thought the Jesus freaks hated the gays, they are going to rot in hell but can sleep and do sexy gay times at Inn Vouge? Hahaha! These people are just unreal trash.
Such a controlling, ugly sob
So gross. So so very gross…
