  • Disneyland!

    Disneyland!

    ‘ This stalker had a pretty amazing, but exhausting weekend (which included a fabulous trip to Disneyland – as well as a special preview of Cars Land – with my girl Miss Pinky Lovejoy, from the Thinking Pink blog) and I was unfortunately not able to get a blog done for today.  But I will…

  • The Queen Mary Observation Bar from “He’s Just Not That Into You”

    The Queen Mary Observation Bar from “He’s Just Not That Into You”

    ‘ I am beginning to discover that The Queen Mary is a lot like the Millennium Biltmore Los Angeles in that every square inch of it has appeared onscreen in multiple notable productions.  Case in point – while scanning through Adaptation to make screen captures for my post on Zipper Concert Hall last week, I…

  • Bugsy Siegel’s Former Resort – Club Arrowhead of the Pines

    Bugsy Siegel’s Former Resort – Club Arrowhead of the Pines

    ‘ Another place that I stalked while visiting Lake Arrowhead this past Thanksgiving was the Bracken Fern Manor country inn, which in the 1930’s was part of a private gambling club/resort named Club Arrowhead of the Pines that was run by none other than legendary mobster Bugsy Siegel.  Because the Grim Cheaper is obsessed with…

  • Harris’ House from “L.A. Story”

    Harris’ House from “L.A. Story”

    ‘ Another L.A. Story location that production designer Lawrence Miller talked about in “The L.A. of L.A. Story” featurette included on the 1991 comedy’s 15th Anniversary Edition DVD was the Spanish-style dwelling where wacky weatherman Harris K. Telemacher (Steve Martin) lived.  And even though the address of the home had been listed on the L.A.…

  • The McGinley Residence – Where Robert F. Kennedy Is Said to Have Spent His Last Night

    The McGinley Residence – Where Robert F. Kennedy Is Said to Have Spent His Last Night

    ‘ Another Lafayette Square-area home that was mentioned in the “Affairs of Estate” article that I blogged about yesterday was the property located at 1821 South Victoria Avenue, where, according to author Ann Herold, Robert F. Kennedy spent the last night of his life.  And while that assertion would be extremely hard to prove (and…

  • Warner Brothers Ranch, Here I Come!

    Warner Brothers Ranch, Here I Come!

    ‘ I am literally pinching myself right now because tonight I got to go on a private tour of the Warner Brothers Ranch Lot in Burbank. The Ranch is normally closed to the public, but my friend works on the lot and agreed to take me on my very own private stalking tour. I was…

  • The “Yes, Dear” House

    The “Yes, Dear” House

    ‘ One show that I never really understood the appeal of is Yes, Dear.  My dad loved the sitcom, which ran from 2000 to 2006, and watched it regularly, but I always found the characters slightly unlikable and the storylines a bit ridiculous.  Nevertheless, when I received an email from a fellow stalker named Jeremy…

  • The Win A Date With Tad Hamilton Motel

    The Win A Date With Tad Hamilton Motel

    ‘ I’”‘”‘ve said it before and I’”‘”‘ll say it again – I heart Josh Duhamel!  Sigh!  So, last week, on a whim, I decided to do some stalking of fave movie Win A Date With Tad Hamilton.  A few years back I had read on IMDB that Win A Date was shot almost entirely on location in a…

  • The “Twins” Mansion

    The “Twins” Mansion

    ‘ Another day, another Twins  location.  🙂  Unbelievably, before writing my post about the Twins house yesterday, I had yet to actually see the movie. For some reason, even though we own a copy of it on DVD, I had never sat down to watch it.  Until yesterday, that is.  But, as often happens to me when watching a movie for the…

  • New “L.A.” Mag Post – The Olivia Pope & Associates Offices from “Scandal”

    New “L.A.” Mag Post – The Olivia Pope & Associates Offices from “Scandal”

    ‘ Be sure to read my latest post for L.A.mag.com today, about the Olivia Pope & Associates offices from Scandal.  My articles typically get published in the late morning/early afternoon hours.  (On a side-note – I wrote this article several weeks ago, before I became disillusioned with the show.) ‘
