    Marilyn Monroe’s Former Palm Springs Home – Revisited

    ‘ This past Friday afternoon the Grim Cheaper and I headed out to Palm Springs to spend Labor Day Weekend with my parents at their new desert abode.  And even though most of our time was devoted to relaxing (and to watching Dance Moms, which has to be one of the most addicting shows I…

  • Downtown Christmas Shopping District from “The Brady Bunch”

    Downtown Christmas Shopping District from “The Brady Bunch”

    ‘ Today’s Christmas-themed post comes, once again, courtesy of Michael, the fellow stalker who gifted us with the fabulous write-up about The Golden Spoon café from The Brady Bunch back in November. While visiting L.A. last week, Michael tracked down and stalked another BB locale, this one with a holiday slant.  After returning home to…

  • Touring Paramount . . . Again

    Touring Paramount . . . Again

    ‘ I spent this past Friday on the Paramount tour and doing some other miscellaneous stalking with my good friend and fellow stalker Lavonna and a group of her girlfriends, who were all in town visiting from Ohio.  Because we were out and about all day, I did not have time to write a post…

  • A Q & A with the Cast of “White Collar”

    A Q & A with the Cast of “White Collar”

    ‘ Last Monday evening, my good friend Mikey, of the Mike the Fanboy website, invited me, along with fellow stalkers Pinky, of the Thinking Pink blog, Duggan, and CB, to a SAG screening/cast Q & A of the USA Network television show White Collar featuring co-executive producer Mark Goffman and series’ stars Matt Bomer, Tim…

  • My Day on the Set of “The Goldbergs”

    My Day on the Set of “The Goldbergs”

    ‘ I debated titling this post “How The Goldbergs altered my Thanksgiving.”  The Grim Cheaper and I were introduced to the ABC series, which is like an ‘80s-set The Wonder Years, last fall and quickly became hooked.  We plowed through all of the episodes in just a few weeks and found each to be poignant,…

  • Famous Original Ray’s Pizza from “Sex and the City”

    Famous Original Ray’s Pizza from “Sex and the City”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I used to visit New York at least once a year.  Prior to this recent trip, though, we had not been to Manhattan since October 2009!  Being separated from my favorite city for almost seven years was quite a hard pill to swallow.  During that time, I accumulated a ridiculously…

  • Sierra Madre Pioneer Cemetery from “Twin Peaks”

    Sierra Madre Pioneer Cemetery from “Twin Peaks”

    ‘ As I mentioned in my post last month about The Old Place restaurant, thanks to fellow stalker/David-Lynch-aficionado Brad, from the Brad D Studios website, I recently discovered that fave television series Twin Peaks was shot almost in its entirety in Southern California.  Because I have long been a Twin Peaks fanatic, I was beyond…

  • The “Georgia Rule” House

    The “Georgia Rule” House

    ‘ One location that I have been absolutely DYING to stalk for what seems like AGES now is the supposed Hull, Idaho-area home belonging to Georgia Randall (aka Jane Fonda) in the 2005 dramedy Georgia Rule.  And I have to say here that despite being largely panned by the critics (Moviefone even rated it the…

  • The VA Sepulveda Ambulatory Care Center aka the American Embassy from “Argo”

    The VA Sepulveda Ambulatory Care Center aka the American Embassy from “Argo”

    ‘ There are few things this stalker loves more than opening her mailbox to discover a slew of “For Your Consideration” screeners – something that happens each January shortly before the Screen Actors Guild Awards.  This year, the DVDs waiting in my mailbox were Silver Linings Playbook (my pick for best movie of the year),…

  • The “Kill Bill” Church

    The “Kill Bill” Church

    ‘ One location that my dad and I visited while stalking in the Lancaster and Palmdale areas last week was the Sanctuary Adventist Church which was used prominently in the 2003 and 2004 Quentin Tarantino movies Kill Bill: Volume 1 and Kill Bill: Volume 2.  And although I have never actually seen either of the…
