    Taking the Week Off

    ‘ My best friends are currently visiting from Switzerland, so I will be taking the next week off from blogging.  I will hopefully be back to regular scheduled programming by the 24th – or the 26th at the latest.  See you then! ‘

    The 19th Annual Art of Motion Picture Costume Design Exhibition at FIDM

    ‘ As I mentioned in yesterday’s post about the Buckland Auction House from Charmed, this past weekend I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to stalk the 19th Annual Art of Motion Picture Costume Design Exhibition which is currently on display at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising Museum & Galleries in Downtown Los Angeles…

  • Grand Central Station

    Grand Central Station

    ‘ Yet another Gossip Girl  filming location that I stalked a few weeks back while vacationing in Manhattan is the train station known as Grand Central Terminal.  But being that Grand Central has actually been featured in more than a few hundred productions since it first opened in 1913, it’s not really accurate to refer…

  • WAT

    WAT

    ‘ Got a call from a family friend’”‘”‘s daughter last night who told me that she was called into the Principal’”‘”‘s office yesterday and told that not only was the TV show Without a Trace being filmed at her high school the next day, but that they would actually be filming her very locker in…

  • “The Vanishing” Apartment Building

    “The Vanishing” Apartment Building

    ‘ Today’s location is an oldie, but goodie.  Waaaaaaaaaaay back in May 2010, the Grim Cheaper and I took a little pre-wedding stalking vacation to the Pacific Northwest to visit our good friends fellow stalker Kerry and her husband, Jim – and to see the grocery store where Michael Buble’s “Haven’t Met You Yet” music…

  • Cordelia’s Apartment Building from “Angel”

    Cordelia’s Apartment Building from “Angel”

    ‘ In mid-January, fellow stalker Ashley, of The Drewseum, asked for some help in tracking down the Moorish-style apartment building where Cordelia Chase (Charisma Carpenter) lived on the Buffy the Vampire Slayer spinoff series Angel.  She sent me a link to this image of the building and, even though I had never seen an episode…

  • The “Young Sheldon” House

    The “Young Sheldon” House

    ‘ I don’t think I’ve ever hated a television character more than Samantha Ruland on Scandal (though Beverly Hills, 90210’s Kelly Taylor ranks a close second).  Played by Zoe Perry, Samantha represented pure evil – there was literally not a single redeeming thing about her.  It got to the point that even hearing her voice…

  • The Oldest Restaurant in Hollywood!

    The Oldest Restaurant in Hollywood!

    ‘ Two weeks ago, while my mom and I were out stalking in Hollywood, we hit up Musso and Frank’”‘”‘s Grill, which has the distinction of being the oldest running restaurant in Hollywood. Opened in 1919, not only is Musso and Frank’”‘”‘s a top notch celeb hangout, but the restaurant has been featured in countless…

  • The “Secrets and Lies” Brothel

    The “Secrets and Lies” Brothel

    ‘ I found the second season of Secrets and Lies abysmal – which is surprising being that, on paper, it contained several elements that should have made it a sure-fire hit in my book.  Murder mystery premise?  Check!  Shot in L.A.?  Check!  And it starred both AnnaLynne McCord (from my beloved 90210) and David James…
