    Retro Dairy Mart from “Say Anything . . . “

    ‘ “That’s L.A. – they worship everything and they value nothing.”  So says Sebastian (Ryan Gosling) while lamenting the closure of a historic jazz club and its subsequent transition into a samba/tapas place in La La Land.  Though I did not like the movie (as mentioned previously), I have to agree with Seb on this…

    The Pink Motel from “Vanderpump Rules”

    ‘ The latest season of Vanderpump Rules might have been the most epic yet.  With Stassi Schroeder making only occasional appearances, I had a fear that the show was going to lose all of its allure and most of its steam, but that was not the case.  Kristen Doute brought the crazy like never before…

    The Vera Wang Flagship Salon

    ‘ While I realize that today should really be the start of my annual, month long “Haunted Hollywood” theme, since I am on a plane right now headed to Manhattan, I decided to write a post about New York, my favorite city in the world, instead.  🙂  And since I’”‘”‘ve had weddings on the brain ever since…

    Wonderland from “Scandal”

    ‘ I realize this is a complete about-face, but I am so over Scandal!  I know, I know – my love for the series was incredibly short-lived.  The Grim Cheaper and I just finished watching Season 4, though, and both felt that it went downhill fast.  The last few episodes proved so ridiculous that I…

    ‘ Those of you who are even half as obsessed with Ms. Aniston as I am, have most likely heard of her favorite restaurant, Il Sole. Jen is a regular at the tiny boutique Italian restaurant and has even sat down for a few magazine interviews there. But Jen is not the only one obsessing…

    The Pedal on the Pier 100 Mile-a-Thon

    ‘ This past Tuesday night after my parents moved to Palm Springs, the GC arrived home from a late-night meeting with a box of chocolate-, vanilla-, and pistachio-flavored macaraoons in hand, so that I could drown my sorrows the Blair Waldorf way.  And I have to say that while I am still depressed and missing…

    Where the Stars Shop!

    ‘ While Rodeo Drive is the most widely known shopping mecca for the rich and famous, there is another lesser known shopping street in West Hollywood that the celebs swarm to in droves for their version of retail therapy. That street is called Robertson Boulevard and it is home to a little store named Kitson.…

    Grand Central Market from “Bosch”

    ‘ Happy 2019, my fellow stalkers!  I was originally going to write about a different locale today, one that was sadly lost in the Woolsey Fire, but decided it would be best to start the year off on a happier note.  So instead I’m covering a quintessential Los Angeles spot that I have stalked countless…
