  • L.A. Bound

    L.A. Bound

    ‘ It has been said that you can’t go home again, but the Grim Cheaper and I are doing just that this weekend by heading out to Los Angeles for a couple of days.  I have an appointment at the Pasadena Blo-Out Lounge, a coffee date with Marci from Lula Mae, all sorts of fun…

  • The Phillips Mansion

    The Phillips Mansion

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper always tells me that it is not about the destination, but the journey.  He’s right.  Getting lost can have its perks.  While driving around looking for Spadra Cemetery (which I blogged about on Friday) a couple of weeks ago, we happened upon a seemingly abandoned mansion set back from the road…

  • The Casa Walsh Garage – A Distant Memory

    The Casa Walsh Garage – A Distant Memory

    ‘ Like Mike, from MovieShotsLA said yesterday, it’s officially the end of an era.  While the two of us were out doing some Pasadena area stalking on Sunday, we made our regular pilgrimage to the Walsh House from Beverly Hills, 90210 and saw a very sad sight, indeed.  In fact, Mike was so out of…

  • A Mental Health Day!

    A Mental Health Day!

    ‘ After my dad’s two recent surgeries, driving back and forth to the desert twice to be there during both of them, and the many stresses that came along with all of that, this past Friday I decided that I needed a mental health day.  So I got a mani/peni and did some major retail-style…

  • The Matchstick Men House

    The Matchstick Men House

    ‘ Another location I dragged my fiance to while in Venice last weekend was the house used in the 2003 movie Matchstick Men.  I found this spot thanks to fellow stalker Chas, who made it his mission to find EVERY SINGLE Matchstick Men location in the L.A. area.  And find them all, he did!  Chas’ entire…

  • La Villa Consolata – The Day Spa from the “Driven” Episode of “CSI: Miami”

    La Villa Consolata – The Day Spa from the “Driven” Episode of “CSI: Miami”

    ‘ Back in January, a fellow stalker named Brandi left a comment on my post about the mansion from The Beverly Hillbillies movie informing me that the property’s indoor spa had not actually been used in the Season 4 episode of CSI: Miami titled “Driven”, as I had originally presumed, but that that spa could…

  • Dealey Plaza – Where JFK Was Assassinated

    Dealey Plaza – Where JFK Was Assassinated

    ‘ As most of my fellow stalkers already well know due to the deluge of media attention, today marks the fiftieth anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy.  I was not yet even a twinkle in my parents’ eyes on November 22nd, 1963, so I did not experience the tragic events firsthand, but they…

  • The Rub from “The Client List”

    The Rub from “The Client List”

    ‘ Another The Client List location that fellow stalker Owen (aka Jennifer Love Hewitt’s biggest fan), from the When Write Is Wrong blog, tracked down recently was The Rub – the supposed Sugar Land, Texas-area massage parlor where JLove’s character, Riley Parks, works on the series.  Owen had actually been looking for the locale for…

  • People’s Revolution

    People’s Revolution

    ‘ This weekend, I dragged my boyfriend to People’”‘”‘s Revolution, the clothing PR firm where Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port now work on my fave show The Hills. I have to admit I was a little nervous walking up to the storefront of People’”‘”‘s Revolution as I was a bit afraid that Kelly Cutrone might…

  • Jim and Pam’s Wedding Hotel from “The Office”

    Jim and Pam’s Wedding Hotel from “The Office”

    ‘ Now that I have watched all six seasons of The Office, I can honestly say that my favorite episode hands down has to be the Season 6 episode titled “Niagara” in which Jim Halpert (aka John Krasinski) and Pam Beasley (aka Jenna Fischer) finally get married.  I loved the episode for two very different…
