Raquel Welch’s “Beyond The Cleavage” Book Signing
‘ Ever since my mom found out that actress and 1960’s/1970’s sex symbol Raquel Welch was scheduled to do a book signing for her new tome Raquel: Beyond the Cleavage at Vroman’s Bookstore in Pasadena on the evening of April 22nd, she became absolutely obsessed with attending the event. And, even though I wasn’t exactly…

The Sadr City Date Factory from “American Sniper”
‘ As I sat down to figure out what to write about for today’s post, I started getting worried that my location backlog was running low. That worry was quickly amended as soon as I began perusing my inventory of stalking photographs and saw that was not the case at all. I have so many…

Caliente Tropics Resort from “Alpha Dog”
‘ Another location that I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to stalk while visiting the Palm Springs area two weekends ago was the Caliente Tropics Resort which appeared in the ultra-disturbing 2006 movie Alpha Dog. I found this location thanks to fave stalking book Hollywood Escapes: The Moviegoer’s Guide to Exploring Southern California’s Great Outdoors,…

‘ I will be spending the next week in L.A. with my good friends Lavonna and Kim who are flying out from Cincinnati for a visit. We have a ton of fun adventures planned, which won’t leave much time for blogging, but I will be back the week of November 17th with a whole slew…

The “13 Going On 30” Houses
‘ If someone asked me what movie most closely resembles my life, I would have to say 13 Going On 30. I am definitely a child of the 80s, I still dress like a 13 year old most of the time, and I’”‘”‘ve been known to do the Thriller Dance at a few parties, so it’”‘”‘s only natural…

Vincent Price in Thriller
‘ At the risk of this site dwelling far too excessively on the recent sad passing of pop star Michael Jackson, I just had to write one more blog post about him. Or, rather, about his legendary music video Thriller and one of its main filming locations. I received an email last night with the above photograph…

The “ALF” House
‘ One location that I have been asked about repeatedly over the years is the Tudor-style home where the Tanner family – Willie (Max Wright), Kate (Anne Schedeen), Lynn (Andrea Elson), Brian (Benji Gregory), and their Melmacian house guest, ALF (who was voiced by series creator Paul Fusco) – lived in the 1986 television series…
