    Carondelet House from Maroon 5’s “Sugar” Music Video

    ‘ I am a sucker for any kind of choreographed dance, especially if a wedding is involved.  So when my mom sent me a link to this video of an epic seven-minute wedding dance, in which all 250 guests were included in on the action, I was all over it!  In one portion of the…

    Paramount Studios – The Fifth Time Around

    ‘ This past Tuesday, my good friend and fellow stalker Kerry and her daughter Jen and I embarked on a tour of Paramount Studios in Hollywood.  While it was Kerry and Jen’s very first time visiting the historic lot, it was actually my fifth – I had previously been on three paid tours and one wedding…

    Olivia Pope’s Apartment from “Scandal”

    ‘ While Scandal has fallen a bit out of favor with me (for reasons mentioned here), there are two parts of the series that I will never get over – Olivia Pope’s (Kerry Washington) wardrobe (Gah!  Her clothing is amazing!) and her apartment.  I recently did a bit of research on said apartment and was…

  • My Latest Interview

    My Latest Interview

    ‘ This week is going to be rather hectic for me – I am traveling to L.A. for a brief visit, buying a new car and my dad is having surgery – so I most likely will not be able to do any blogging.  I will be back next Monday, though, with a whole new…

  • The Cecil Hotel

    The Cecil Hotel

    ‘ Los Angeles magazine’s The Crime Issue had me absolutely drooling when I received it back in July, especially Steve Erickson’s article “Sleep Tight,” which detailed the bizarre 2013 death of 21-year-old Canadian tourist Elisa Lam at the Cecil Hotel in downtown L.A.  I was glued to every single word Erickson wrote and, upon finishing…
