We're guessing Michael Tonello has a thing for detective stories, because he seems to fancy himself quite the amateur sleuth. Thing is .... he has a little reputation. For commenting all over the Internet using multiple names. If he doesn't like something or someone, he posts whatever flighty thing pops into his little head. Or if he's in a good mood, he posts glowing reviews of his book under pseudonyms.
So why would you believe anything he says on his blog?
Let's recap, shall we? He has an agenda. A very simple one. He was booted from PF and seems to be very unhappy about that. Unhappy enough to go back again and again and again (and again) under different names. Unhappy enough to make up stories about what goes on there, the people who post, and the things they buy. So why would you believe any of his sleuthing theories about nefarious scams and reselling liars? Or should that be nefarious liars and reselling scams? He uses the same words over and over to describe .... well, nothing we've seen any proof of.
Hey Michael. Life's really too short. Why don't you spend your time doing something good in the world? Instead of making up nonsense.

MT and Donna are stuck in the same place and will never move on. She's posting the same lies on Effen Haute, showing pictures of her "fake" looking bags. I bet that remark will get her huffing and puffing, silly cow!
See Effen Haute. Duchess and MT have posted there. Playing all innocent.
Thank you!
One thing I have learned in life is that it is impossible to have a logical discussion with someone who is illogical.
Most all that has been said on PFA-Exposed makes sense and is good advice for Tonello to change his evil ways. But I am not surprised to see that he does not “get it”.
He does not care what the truth is. He makes up his own “truth”. He has apparently been living his life this way for along time. Even non-evil habits are hard for most of us to break. It seems to me that the only way to stop him is to do it via the legal system and to try to convince those such as Huffington and others he writes for to discontinue their
association with him.
Unbelievable. The pair put on their best behaviour on Effen Haute. Really like Dr Jkyll & Mr Hyde. Typical profile of a cyberbully. They are trying to use EH to redeem themselves. Wait, does EH belong to either MT or DL? Can someone find that out?
If only all of their nasty posts from tpf that were removed (which caused them to be banned can be retrieved, with all the date and time stamps) can be reproduced! The world would have eyes to see for themselves what they really are.
Had anyone saved those posts? It's so long ago.
I used to think that EH was a decent forum, but I will no longer go there. The admins there have to know what the toxic twins have been up to & yet they allow them to remain there cutely posting as if nothing is happening. Perhaps the EH admins are afraid if they do get rid of them, they'll be next on the list of targets? Or maybe they condone what they are doing?
The EH admins suck up to duchess and MT totally disregarding the pain those two have caused to many, many members of the purse forum and styleforum. Go look at PFA, for goodness sakes! Are those the kind of people you want hanging around your forum?
Maybe they're afraid to boot MT and duchess. Goodness knows what MT will do to them if EF ever bans them!! I suppose it's easier to let them post and keep them pacified in spite of all the horrible posts they make on PFA.
Let's face it, Effen Haute is a fake Purse Forum. No members and all junk. Perfect place for Donna Lehtonen and Michael Tonello. If EH likes them, let them have them. But, we all here know the truth about what those two are capable of. Just let them sniff out all the fakes/scams/nefarious activity on Effenhaute and leave PF alone!
I don't think Michael Tonello writes professionally for anyone, including Huffington Post. That was years ago.
Duchess authenticating bags on Effen Haute. Please. Do. Not. Stop. Her. Let someone throw in a AAA super-fake. Let's see how she handles that.
So they go on and on on PFA that no one can authenticate bags looking at pictures. That was one of the key messages they were driving very very hard at, wasn't it?
And now Duchess is authenticating bags on Effen Haute.
You be your own judge. Can you see what they are trying to do?
So everyone is evil on tpf. They are the only 2 who are not. Everyone here tells lies according to them. And they don't.
If the pattern isn't already clear to the readers, I don't know what else you can see.
I guess Donna must have super powers to be able to detect real from fake in pictures, since up to now she has claimed it isn't possible. She's found her calling at last.
I just want to point out how the kind of people who are in with Michael Tonello are the people who say things like an 11 year old little girl is ugly (but she is indeed cute) Those people are pure evil over there. Is everyone reporting his blog to the place to specifically report internet cyber bullying?? I know I have!!
Regarding Donna authenticating from pictures... She probably was saying that it couldn't be done from pictures because she was jealous that it wasn't she who was an authenticator on TPF.
If someone has something she is jealous of, she tries to tear it down.
EH is in for a ride. Donna Lehtonen thinks every bag is a fake, unless it was purchased directly from Hermes. I hope their members don't take her seriously. I like that she is on a fake forum authenticating bags. Maybe she will be too busy investigating the EH members to bother with the PF members anymore.
Donna Lehtonen professional authenticator. That is rich. She does not have the requisite knowledge and has not handled very many Hermes items. In addition as she is new to the brand, she has no experience with vintage pieces, as she would never own one. New rich = new bags.
I believe that MT really hates women. The foul names he uses shows no respect for females except the duchess of junk. He uses her and since I doubt the silly and envious Donna knows any "REAL" celebrities, she thinks he's super.
EHF is a somewhat of a joke. Most of what they talk about is pulled from TPF. All they do is bad mouth "the other place" and talk about how great they are. It's ridic.
All they do is point the finger and talk about how they're different. They have no idea how they'd respond to certain situations if their forum was as big as TPF.
I'd have a lot more respect for EHF if there was more originality there but it's like an exact copy of TPF but with more shit talking.
The fact that they entertain the idea that MT & Duchess are normal (and not totally whacked out of their minds) is a whole other story. I think they are so desperate for members (and original content!!) that they are happy to have those two hate-filled loons. At least that content is no stolen from TPF. I'll give them props for that.
I love how Michael uses Duchess to pimp his new "reality tv episode" on EHF. Then he slyly claims his lips are sealed. That would be believable if Duchess didn't pimp MT all over the freakin internet. These two belong in a side show.
Quick watch this hand waving about while the other one is trying to fool you!
Wonder what ever happened with this thread:
http://www.effenhaute.com/forum/yaf_postst664_What-is-the-purpose-of-this.aspx
Why don't they update it with the new info that Michael Tonello and Donna Lehtonen do in fact own and run the site they have so frequently denied operating?
I really think we all should contact Bravo TV and share some of what we know about Tonello. They might like to see some of the links we've found. I will do it. I hope you will, too.
I am positive that the love affair EH has with Tonello will be short lived. He will get mad over something and start slamming them. The fallout will be fun to watch!
Wait until MT's new Bravo TV show airs. I pity the poor souls on Bravo's forums if they so much as utter an unkind word about the man there.
Donna Lehtonen professional authenticator. That is rich. She does not have the requisite knowledge and has not handled very many Hermes items. In addition as she is new to the brand, she has no experience with vintage pieces, as she would never own one. New rich = new bags.

Using the criteria above for the so called authenticators on the purse forum Hermes thread, that would eliminate about 90% of those authenticators especially the likes of mrssparkles who, you would have to admit, was outed as a relative hermes newbie based on her posts not just on tPF but also on the fashion spot.
I am copying a screenshot of this comment to see if you will post it or if you are just going to be as selective as you accuse TPFA to be.
Let us see.
Here's your comment. But the point still stands - how can PFA accuse people of being unable to authenticate from photos, Donna and Michael support and are behind PFA, and then Donna is now authenticating from photos?
And for the record, it's the last comment we will post attacking PF posters. Take that to PFA.
"Using the criteria above for the so called authenticators on the purse forum Hermes thread, that would eliminate about 90% of those authenticators especially the likes of mrssparkles who, you would have to admit, was outed as a relative hermes newbie based on her posts not just on tPF but also on the fashion spot. "
Purseforum started one year after PurseBlog. That would be 2006. Many members, the likes of mrssparkles whom you choose to single out, also joined in that same year. Many members, including myself, crossed over from the FashionSpot. What's the big deal?
Strange that you would think that you have outed mrssparkles as if it's some discovery or scam. By her own admission through her posts on tpf in 2006, she never hid the fact that she was a newbie in 2006.
In the authentication threads, she had said she couldn't comment on vintage bags before her time and styles of bags she didn't own. She called upon the others to chime in. As stated on the purse forum, comments are opinions. Buyers beware. Decide on what you believe is true. Authentication via photos is not perfect. Every mature tpf member knows that.
duchess by all means, can help authenticate bags on Effen Haute. Readers can choose whether to trust her opinions. That's all fine. What's wrong is calling the authenticators on the purse forum "idiots" and insisting that authentication is not possible with photos, and she goes on quietly at Effen Haute to do exactly that, to try build up an expert reputation.
I just want to re-post this because it is a beautiful snippet and bears repeating:
"duchess by all means, can help authenticate bags on Effen Haute. Readers can choose whether to trust her opinions. That's all fine.

MT and duchess seem to be taking a break from Effen Haute. I hope their lies caught up with them on that forum.
Where do you see that Dutchess is authenticating Hermes for Effen Haute? Because I don't see it.
If she is not authenticating most of the posts here are really irrelevant and pure speculation.

Not untrue, nor are the claims speculations.
duchess is Hermesmerized on Effen Haute.
duchess = Hermesmerized (on EHF)
