    The Friends of Heaven Grief Retreat Hotel from “Dead to Me”

    ‘ You wouldn’t expect a show centered around grief to be funny.  But the Netflix original Dead to Me, about the recently-widowed Jen Harding (Christina Applegate) and her new BFF Judy Hale (Linda Cardellini), whom she meets in the Laguna Beach chapter of the Friends of Heaven grief group, is downright hilarious!  One episode in…

    A Weeklong Visit to L.A. with Friends!

    ‘ I am heading to L.A. today to spend the next week with my friends Kim and Katie who are visiting from Kentucky (that’s Kim above during a visit last November).  We have a ton of fun stalking activities planned (you can follow along on Instagram) that will not leave any time for blogging, so…

    Carrera Café – Where Your Favorite Celebrity Can Be Turned into Latte Art

    ‘ When not stalking or shopping, you can typically find me perusing fashion and beauty blogs.  There are several I frequent daily including Gal Meets Glam, Atlantic-Pacific, Merrick’s Art, Cupcakes and Cashmere, and Hello Gorgeous.  The latter was founded by Angela Lanter, wife of fave actor Matt Lanter.  I started reading her site because of…

    The Culver City Hobbit Houses

    ‘ I have a major affinity for unique architecture.  So when I came across this CurbedLA article about the Lawrence and Martha Joseph Residence and Apartments, a grouping of Storybook-style structures in Culver City colloquially known as the “Hobbit houses,” I just about foamed at the mouth.  The complex looks like something straight out of…

    The John Ferraro Building

    ‘ I was recently interviewed for an exciting new project (more details to come) and in my talks with producers beforehand was asked if I had any ideas about where the interview could take place.  They were hoping to meet up at a filming location that I felt best represented the spirt of L.A.  I…

    The Daily Dose Café from “Scandal”

    ‘ UPDATE – After closing and then reopening briefly as Café Société in 2018, this spot shuttered for good early last year.  It currently remains vacant. There’s pretty much nothing I love more than a cool coffee house.  So when Cupcakes and Cashmere blogger Emily Schuman wrote about the Daily Dose Café, a downtown Los…

  • 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…

    Johnny Weissmuller’s Former Home

    ‘ I would like to start off today’s post by wishing all of my fellow stalkers a very Happy Halloween! And while I could not be more excited to celebrate the day that I pretty much spend all year waiting for, my heart is broken over the devastation to the East Coast (especially New York,…
