Rose Towers from “CSI: Cyber”
‘ Spanish-style courtyard apartment complexes are my jam (as evidenced here, here, here, here, here, here, and here). One that I became especially enamored of a little over a year ago was the pink-hued building where Tristan Jenkins (fave actor Matt Lanter) lived on the Season 2 episode of CSI: Cyber titled “Corrupted Memory.” While…

Halloween at Dick Van Dyke’s House
‘ While doing research on the Strode House from Halloween a couple of weeks back, I came across a blog post about the extravagant yard haunt that actor Dick Van Dyke hosts every Halloween at his home in Malibu. And while you wouldn’t think it would be possible, being that I have lived in Southern…

Seinfeld’s Apartment
‘ Like most filming locations, the site used as Jerry’”‘”‘s apartment building on the hit TV show Seinfeld, can actually be found in Los Angeles, not Manhattan. It is a nondescript little building that actually does look very reminiscent of New York. I didn’”‘”‘t recognize the building in person, until I looked at it through the viewfinder of my camera, and…

Happy New Year!
‘ I am going to take the next few days off from blogging (yes, again), so that I can celebrate New Year’s Eve and New Year’s day (our last in Pasadena ) with the Grim Cheaper. I did get to meet Uggie the Dog from The Artist and Water for Elephants yesterday, though, so I…

My Guide to L.A. – Hotels
‘ I am constantly told that I would make a great concierge for the city of Los Angeles. I have explored L.A. so much over the years that I know it like the back of my hand and have accumulated a large inventory of favorite places. I recently decided to corral that inventory into a…

P.S. I Love You
‘ In honor of the big premiere that took place on Tuesday night, I just had to do a little stalking this past weekend. Since my boyfriend and I were out in Palm Springs for a little Labor Day vacay, I dragged him to the Rancho Las Palmas Resort and Spa which was featured in…
