  • Mayo, Schmayo!

    Mayo, Schmayo!

    ‘ Because yesterday was quite possibly one of the worst days in my entire life, I was not able to write a post for today.  I had such high hopes for the Mayo Clinic finding a cure for my dad’”‘”‘s illness, but sadly it has become blindingly apparent that the facility is completely incompetent and inept.  In…

  • Orcutt Ranch Horticultural Center & Community Garden from “La La Land”

    Orcutt Ranch Horticultural Center & Community Garden from “La La Land”

    ‘ On paper, La La Land looked like my perfect movie.  I love Ryan Gosling.  I love Emma Stone.  I love musicals.  And I LOVE L.A.  The film just didn’t work for me, though.  I realize mine is a vastly unpopular opinion, but I found La La Land to be too long, too slow, and…

  • POP Champagne Bar

    POP Champagne Bar

    ‘ This past weekend I dragged my boyfriend out to stalk Pasadena’”‘”‘s newest hot spot – a little place called POP Champagne & Dessert Bar which opened its doors about three months ago.  Being that champagne is my (and my girl Marilyn’”‘”‘s) fave cocktail, I have been dying to stalk this place ever since it opened…

  • Idle Time Books from “A Few Good Men”

    Idle Time Books from “A Few Good Men”

    ‘ There’s pretty much nothing I love more than bookstores.  They run second only to Starbucks and film locations in my book (pun intended).  If I come across a good one, I can get lost amongst the stacks for hours.  So there was no way I was leaving Washington D.C. without checking out Idle Time…

  • Happy New Year!

    Happy New Year!

    ‘ I hope all of my fellow stalkers have a safe and happy New Year!  Cheers to 2016! ‘

  • The Thriller Movie Theatre

    The Thriller Movie Theatre

    ‘ Michael Jackson‘”‘”‘s Thriller is, in my humble opinion, the best music video ever created. And ever since seeing the Thriller dance scene from 13 Going On 30 (which has to be one of my favorite movie scenes of all time) I have loved nothing more than to bust out the Thriller dance at parties!…

  • Los Angeles County Hall of Records

    Los Angeles County Hall of Records

    ‘ Today’s location is a serious fail on my part.  For a couple of years now, I have had the Los Angeles County Hall of Records on my Haunted Hollywood To-Stalk list, not due to its filming history, but because I mistakenly thought the building was where Marilyn Monroe’s autopsy was performed in 1962.  I…

  • Henry’s House from “Selfie”

    Henry’s House from “Selfie”

    ‘ I was saddened to learn recently that both Selfie and A to Z – two of my favorite new shows of the fall season – had been cancelled.  If How to Get Away with Murder winds up on the chopping block next, the networks will be receiving a very strongly worded letter from me! …

  • The Stage from “Big Little Lies’

    The Stage from “Big Little Lies’

    ‘ So far I am unimpressed with the locations featured in Big Little Lies’ second season.  During the HBO series’ first go-round, not only were the locales fantastic, but they were showcased to such an incredible extent that they pretty much overshadowed everything else – but in the best way possible!  Despite the drama and…

  • Dwight’s Bar from “Burlesque”

    Dwight’s Bar from “Burlesque”

    ‘ One Burlesque filming location that I had been trying to track down for what seems like forever now was Dwight’s Bar, which was featured in the movie’s opening scene as the supposed small-town, Iowa-area watering hole where Ali (aka Christina Aguilera) worked.  Even though the bar only appeared in one very brief, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it establishing…
