  • Liberace’s Former Home

    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”

    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

    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

    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…

  • Kristin Cavallari’s House from Season 6 of “The Hills”

    Kristin Cavallari’s House from Season 6 of “The Hills”

    ‘ Literally just around the corner from Philippe Chow, the restaurant that I blogged about on Tuesday where Brenda and Donna ate veal brains on Beverly Hills, 90210, is the home where Kristin Cavallari lived during Season 6 of fave show The Hills.  I am embarrassed to say that I spent an exorbitant amount of…

  • Pueblo Bonito Pacifica Holistic Resort & Spa

    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!

    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!

    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”

    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

    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…
