Liberace’s Former Home
‘ A couple of weeks ago, while doing some stalking in the Valley, I became a bit obsessed with locating the home where legendary pianist Liberace lived back in the 1950s. I first heard about this location, ironically enough, from comedian and Whose Line Is It Anyway? star Ryan Stiles, who also owned the property…

The Schaffer Residence from “A Single Man”
‘ A couple of weeks ago, I dragged my new husband out to stalk an architecturally and cinematically famous house located in Glendale at the base of the Verdugo Mountains – the John Lautner-designed Schaffer Residence which appeared in fashion designer Tom Ford’s directorial debut, A Single Man. I found this location thanks to fellow…

The “10 Things I Hate About You” House
‘ As I was going through my stalking archives today, I realized that there are countless Seattle-area locations that I stalked during my recent trip up to the Pacific Northwest that I still have yet to blog about. I figure it’s better to be late than never, though, right? One of the locations was the…

The “It’s Complicated” House
‘ This past weekend, I dragged my new husband out to Westlake Village to see a home that I’ve been absolutely dying to stalk ever since I tracked down its location a little over two months ago – the adobe-style ranch where Jane Adler (aka Meryl Streep) lived in the 2009 Nancy Meyers-directed romantic comedy…

I am embarrassed to say that I spent an exorbitant amount of…

Pueblo Bonito Pacifica Holistic Resort & Spa
‘ During our recent Cabo San Lucas honeymoon, the Grim Cheaper and I stayed at the Pueblo Bonito Pacifica Holistic Resort & Spa. And while I knew from looking at the property’s website that it was a beautiful place, at the time I made our reservation I had absolutely NO idea that it was also…

Moving Day!
‘ Unfortunately, as I mentioned would most likely be the case yesterday, because I helped my parents move all weekend I do not have a new blog to post for today. I was really hoping to return home from my Cabo honeymoon with a few days to relax and regroup after the chaos that is…

Happy Labor Day!
‘ I will be taking today off to celebrate Labor Day with my family. And because I spent this past weekend helping my parents move, I most likely won’t have a new post to publish for tomorrow either. 🙁 But I promise to be back on Wednesday with a whole new blog, so stay tuned! …

Pickwick’s Pub from “The Office”
‘ This past weekend, I dragged my husband (that is SO weird to say!) out to stalk Pickwick’s Pub – the Woodland Hills watering hole that stands in for the Dunder Mifflin gang’s favorite local hangout, Poor Richard’s Pub, on fave show The Office. And while there is actually a real life Poor Richard’s Pub…

Griffith Observatory
‘ A couple of months ago I dragged my parents and my then-fiancé/now husband out to Los Feliz to do some stalking of the Griffith Observatory in Griffith Park – a place which I had never before visited despite having lived in Los Angeles for over a decade. I had actually wanted to stalk the…
