    Retro Dairy Mart from “Say Anything . . . “

    ‘ “That’s L.A. – they worship everything and they value nothing.”  So says Sebastian (Ryan Gosling) while lamenting the closure of a historic jazz club and its subsequent transition into a samba/tapas place in La La Land.  Though I did not like the movie (as mentioned previously), I have to agree with Seb on this…

    Chuck E. Cheese’s from “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead”

    ‘ I have been on the hunt for the Chuck E. Cheese’s featured in fave movie Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead for what seems like ages.  Despite having an inside connection – my girl Miss Pinky Lovejoy, of the Thinking Pink blog, is married to none other than Kenny Crandell, aka Keith Coogan, himself…

    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 “Clueless” Party House

    The “Clueless” Party House

    ‘ One location that I have been wanting to stalk for what seems like ages now is the party house from fave movie Clueless.  Because the property is located in Granada Hills, though, and because I rarely travel that far deep into the San Fernando Valley, it was quite a long while before I finally…

  • Figaro Bistrot from “Made of Honor”

    Figaro Bistrot from “Made of Honor”

    ‘ As I mentioned in my post about Le Petit Bistro back in early August, one location that I have been longing to stalk for quite some time now is Figaro Bistrot, an adorable little French cafe that has appeared in numerous productions over the years, most notably the Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2009 advertising campaign…

    Opera on Ocean from “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead”

    ‘ A couple of weeks ago, a fellow stalker named Gina reminded me of a Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead location that I had yet to blog about – Opera on Ocean, the Santa Monica restaurant where slime-ball Gus (John Getz) took Sue Ellen Crandell (Christina Applegate) for a lunch date in the 1991…

  • Franck’s Wedding Coordinator Shop from “Father of the Bride”

    Franck’s Wedding Coordinator Shop from “Father of the Bride”

    ‘ When the Grim Cheaper and I first showed up to stalk Fig & Olive restaurant, from the 2012 “Matthew’s Day Off” Honda CR-V Super Bowl commercial which I blogged about last week, I became absolutely enchanted with Melrose Place, the tiny tree-lined street on which the eatery is located.  Even though I had been…

    Tom Rose’s House from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    ‘ This past weekend, the Grim Cheaper surprised me with tickets for the Children’s Discovery Museum of the Desert annual Discovery Home Tour as a sort-of Welcome-to-Palm-Springs gift. The tour was an experience, to say the least. I honestly cannot remember the last time the GC and I laughed so hard – and for so…

  • Happy Labor Day!

    Happy Labor Day!

    ‘ I would like to wish all of my fellow stalkers a very happy Labor Day!  Sorry to have been M.I.A. for the better part of last week, but I was having serious server issues which resulted in finally having to move my website over to an entirely different hosting company.  I am hoping that…

    Bette Davis’ House from “Feud”

    ‘ My favorite Big Little Lies quote belongs to Madeline Martha Mackenzie (Reese Witherspoon), who, in response to Celeste Wright (Nicole Kidman) advising her to let something go, quips, “I love my grudges.  I tend to them like little pets.”  A woman after my own heart, I swear!  Oh yes, I am a definite grudge-holder. …
