Robert Kardashian’s Former House
‘ Last October, while I was knee-deep in my Haunted Hollywood postings, fellow stalker/prolific author E.J., of The Movieland Directory website, emailed me to let me know about his book Hollywood Death and Scandal Sites: Sixteen Driving Tours with Directions and the Full Story, from Tallulah Bankhead to River Phoenix, which he thought I might…

Myra Jones’ Former House
‘ Though I love true crime and pretty much all of its facets, there are some cases that I find too sad and disturbing to read about, research, do any stalking of, or feature on my blog. Today’s locale, the site of the brutal rape and murder of a 71-year-old grandma, is not one I…

Storrier Stearns Japanese Garden from “Pure Genius”
‘ The Grim Cheaper and I are finally getting around to landscaping the backyard of our new house, so to say I’m into gardens lately would be an understatement. If I knew how to use Pinterest (I swear I cannot figure that site out), I’d be pinning foliage design ideas left and right. Instead I’ve…

Mawby’s Bar from “Flashdance”
‘ While I am definitely a child of the ‘80s, there are some classic films from that era that I have never been a fan of. Pretty in Pink, Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Flashdance come to mind. Being that there’s pretty much nothing I love more than movies with musical and dance montages,…

Taking Another Two Days Off
‘ My dad had surgery yesterday to implant a permanent morphine pump in his body which will hopefully stop his chronic pain and because I was out in the desert with him, I did not have time to write a new post. So I will be taking today, as well as tomorrow, off. But I…

Hotel Shangri-La from “The Bachelor”
‘ This past Sunday morning (which was particularly cloudy, as you can see above), the Grim Cheaper and I headed out to Santa Monica to run a couple of errands and while there we happened to walk by the Hotel Shangri-La – a historic Art Deco masterpiece that I have wanted to stalk ever since…

The Los Angeles Filming Locations of “Glow”
‘ Be sure to check out my latest article for Los Angeles magazine detailing the filming locations of Glow, the new Netflix comedy series about a 1980s female wrestling organization. I have to admit that when my editor first pitched me the story, I was skeptical. The show did not sound like my cup of…
