    Partying With the Kids From West Bev!

    ‘ Thanks to a tip from Andrea Sachs who interviewed me a few weeks back for a Washington Post article, I was able to drag my boyfriend to a little shindig for the new 90210 series at the Paley Center in Beverly Hills on Saturday night. The Paley Center, which was started in 1975 by…

    The “Our House” House

    The “How to Marry a Millionaire” Apartment Building

    ‘ One of the things I love most about L.A. is the direct access the city has to a myriad of unique, once-in-a-lifetime experiences.  Case in point – Essentially Marilyn, The Paley Center for Media’s latest exhibit featuring costumes, personal artifacts, clothing, and memorabilia from none other than Miss Marilyn Monroe herself, including the starlet’s…

    McGee’s Pub – The Inspiration for MacLaren’s on “How I Met Your Mother”

    ‘ I have never been a film location purist.  I am just as happy visiting spots that have appeared onscreen as I am touring those that have provided inspiration for sets – as evidenced here, here and here.  So while in New York in April 2016 I just had to pop by McGee’s Pub, aka…
