    Happy Thanksgiving!

    ‘ I will be taking the next five days off in order to spend Thanksgiving week with my family.  But I will be back with a whole new location on Monday, November 26th.  In the meantime, I’ll leave you with this favorite Thanksgiving moment from Friends, in which Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston) accidentally adds beef…

  • Earthbar – One of Kristin Cavallari’s Favorite Haunts

    Earthbar – One of Kristin Cavallari’s Favorite Haunts

    ‘ Way back in mid-April, I stumbled upon some recently-published photographs of my girl Kristin Cavallari grabbing a smoothie at the Earthbar health market/juice bar on Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood.  After spending a few minutes oogling her ensemble, which was comprised of an amazing tangerine dress and Kate Middleton-esque nude heels, I came…

    Malibou Lake from “Parks and Recreation”

    ‘ A couple of months ago, I set out to find the lake house belonging to Donna Meagle (Retta) and her family in the Season 4 episode of fave show Parks and Recreation titled “Sweet Sixteen”.  (It was that search that led me to discover Johnson Lake in Pasadena, which I blogged about here.)  And…

  • The Self-Realization Fellowship Lake Shrine Temple

    The Self-Realization Fellowship Lake Shrine Temple

    ‘ Another location that I stalked while my good friend Nat was in town a few weeks ago was the Self-Realization Fellowship Lake Shrine Temple – a ten-acre public oasis located on Sunset Boulevard in Pacific Palisades that was established by spiritual leader/Kriya Yoga guru Paramahansa Yogananda in 1950.  Because Nat is a dedicated yogi,…

    Runyon Ranch from “Scream 3”

    ‘ Another Scream 3 filming location that I had long wanted to stalk was Runyon Ranch – the large hilltop home where actress Jennifer Jolie (Parker Posey) lived in the 2000 thriller. I first found out about the locale from fave stalking book Hollywood Escapes: The Moviegoer’s Guide to Exploring Southern California’s Great Outdoors, but…

  • Another Day Off

    Another Day Off

    ‘ I hate to do this again, but because I spent most of yesterday as a reader at the annual Read-In at the school where my mom used to teach, I did not have time to write a new blog post for today.  (The door decoration that the class I read for made for me…

  • Taking the Week Off!

    Taking the Week Off!

    ‘ I will be spending the upcoming week in the Desert visiting my parents, so I will be taking the next five days off from blogging.  But I did have a fabulous pre-Oscar week during which I finally got a picture with my “unicorn”, Miss Kristin Cavallari, who, I am very happy to report, was…

    Fig & Olive Restaurant from the 2012 “Matthew’s Day Off” Honda CR-V Super Bowl Commercial

    ‘ Ever since I first saw the ingenious “Matthew’s Day Off” Honda CR-V commercial that premiered during the 2012 Super Bowl on February 6th, I have been absolutely itching to track down the restaurant that appeared in it.  Especially since, a few weeks beforehand, I had stalked and blogged about L’Orangerie, the eatery that stood…
