  • Dots Cupcakes!

    Dots Cupcakes!

    ‘ Last week, on a whim, I ventured into Dots Cupcakes in Pasadena to buy some Halloween cupcakes for my boyfriend. While waiting in line I noticed a framed InStyle Magazine article sitting on a shelf in the tiny shop. The article detailed the June 2007 wedding of Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O’”‘”‘Connell, who rather…

  • The Second Peach Pit

    The Second Peach Pit

    ‘ Two weekends ago, thanks to Mike from MovieShotsLA, I was able to stalk a location that I have long been on the lookout for – the storefront that was used as the second Peach Pit on the original Beverly Hills, 90210  series.   Yes, I did say the “second” Peach Pit.  As most fans of the series…

  • Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston’s Honeymoon Suite at the Ingleside Inn

    Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston’s Honeymoon Suite at the Ingleside Inn

    ‘ As I mentioned in Monday’s post, I spent my recent birthday weekend in Room 148 of the Ingleside Inn in Palm Springs – the very room where Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston stayed during their mini-honeymoon shortly following their July 29th, 2000 wedding.  I first found out about the Ingleside Inn back in April…

  • Sex In My City

    Sex In My City

    ‘ To promote her new book, , author and creator Candace Bushnell made an appearance at my fave bookstore, Vroman’”‘”‘s, in Pasadena last night. I could not have been more excited for this event!!! I was absolutely dying to see the real life Carrie Bradshaw in person. For those not in the know, much like…

  • The Beverly Hills, 90210 Spring Dance!

    The Beverly Hills, 90210 Spring Dance!

    ‘ A few weeks ago, I happened to pop in my Beverly Hills, 90210 Season 1 DVDs to watch the “Spring Dance” episode – one of my very favorite 90210episodes of all time!  As I scrolled through the DVD menu, I realized that, unbelievably, I had yet to watch that episode accompanied by the commentary by series’”‘”‘…

  • Susan Berman’s Former House

    Susan Berman’s Former House

    ‘ One location that has confused me for years is the cottage where writer Susan Berman was murdered in 2000 – so much so that despite stalking it back in August 2015, I have put off blogging about it until now.  I first learned of the locale from the hit HBO docuseries The Jinx: The…

  • Halloween 2010 at the Hotel Santa Barbara

    Halloween 2010 at the Hotel Santa Barbara

    ‘ As I mentioned last week, this past Saturday morning the Grim Cheaper and I headed up north to the Central Coast of California to spend Halloween with our good friends who live in Santa Barbara, or the “American Riviera” as the seaside city is colloquially known.  For those who have never visited the area…

  • Lake Arrowhead’s North Shore Marina Beach from “Vanderpump Rules”

    Lake Arrowhead’s North Shore Marina Beach from “Vanderpump Rules”

    ‘ Some television moments are so iconic they cannot be forgotten.  A few that are ingrained in my memory for the long haul – Ross and Rachel’s rain-soaked first kiss on Friends, Sam and Diane’s slapping fight on Cheers, Dylan’s epic tantrum (complete with a shattered potted plant) during his first date with Brenda on…

  • Anoakia Mansion from “Doppelganger”

    Anoakia Mansion from “Doppelganger”

    ‘ There’s no denying that Doppelganger is a pretty horrible movie.  But part of the fun of the Halloween season is watching ridiculously terrible horror flicks from years past – and stalking their locations, of course.  I had long been on the hunt for the psychiatric institution from the 1993 thriller and was given a…

  • Having a Carrie Bradshaw Moment

    Having a Carrie Bradshaw Moment

    ‘ I have three pretty big articles due in the coming days for both Discover Los Angeles and L.A. Magazine, and am having a bit of a Carrie Bradshaw moment.  I can finally utter her famous words, “I’m on deadline!”  Because of said deadline(s), and an upcoming trip to L.A. – the trip is actually…
