    The Lethal Weapon 2 House

    ‘ Since I am constantly dragging my boyfriend on my stalking adventures every single weekend, I decided to finally stalk a place he would enjoy – the house on stilts from Lethal Weapon 2.

    The “How to Marry a Millionaire” Apartment Building

    ‘ One of the things I love most about L.A. is the direct access the city has to a myriad of unique, once-in-a-lifetime experiences.  Case in point – Essentially Marilyn, The Paley Center for Media’s latest exhibit featuring costumes, personal artifacts, clothing, and memorabilia from none other than Miss Marilyn Monroe herself, including the starlet’s…
