  • The “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” Park

    The “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” Park

    ‘ Today’s post was a true labor of love – one that required stalking a location three separate times and a massive amount of help from a fellow stalker named Michael.  While most of the locales from the 1985 movie Girls Just Want to Have Fun (one of my all-time faves) have been tracked down…

  • The Sadr City Date Factory from “American Sniper”

    The Sadr City Date Factory from “American Sniper”

    ‘ As I sat down to figure out what to write about for today’s post, I started getting worried that my location backlog was running low.  That worry was quickly amended as soon as I began perusing my inventory of stalking photographs and saw that was not the case at all.  I have so many…

    Happy Presidents’ Day!

    ‘ This weekend was a whirlwind that included a spectacular Valentine’s Day with the Grim Cheaper, a (VERY crowded, but fun) trip to Disneyland with Miss Pinky Lovejoy of the Thinking Pink blog and her husband, Keith Coogan,  and seeing Air Force One in person (can’”‘”‘t get more presidential than that!).  I, unfortunately, did not…

  • Maddox’s School

    Maddox’s School

    ‘ Even though I am 100 percent on Team Aniston, while I was in New York, one of my obsessions was finding Maddox’”‘”‘s school. I was really hoping Brad and Angie would be in town and I could just park myself in front of the school and wait for a sighting. 🙂 But, for this…

  • My Guide to L.A. – Shopping

    My Guide to L.A. – Shopping

    ‘ If there is one thing I love almost as much as stalking, it’s shopping – and shopping in Los Angeles is in a class all its own.  When I first moved to SoCal in 2000, I found myself in retail heaven.  The city boasts a myriad of cute shopping districts, fabulous marketplaces, and one-of-a-kind…

  • Chaya Venice from “The Holiday”

    Chaya Venice from “The Holiday”

    ‘ It’s finally that time of year again, folks!  Time for some Christmas-themed posts!  And I could NOT be more excited.  First up is a locale that I had been searching for for years – the sushi restaurant where Iris Simpkins (Kate Winslet) and Miles (Jack Black) dined towards the end of The Holiday.  During…

  • The Meiks’s House from “Frailty”

    The Meiks’s House from “Frailty”

    ‘ One of my absolute, hands-down, favorite movies of all time is the 2001 thriller Frailty, which just so happens to be actor Bill Paxton’s directorial debut.  And I am apparently in good company with that opinion – according to the Contact Music website, James Cameron, Sam Raimi and Stephen King are also huge fans…

  • The “What Women Want” Coffee Shop

    The “What Women Want” Coffee Shop

    ‘ “If I ever go looking for my heart’s desire again, I won’t look any further than my own backyard.”  So says Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz.  I should have heeded her advice because for years I have been searching for the coffee shop from the 2000 comedy What Women Want and as it…

  • Crumbs Bake Shop from “90210”

    Crumbs Bake Shop from “90210”

    ‘ Another location that I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to see while doing some stalking in Beverly Hills two weekends ago was Crumbs Bake Shop, the popular cupcakery which appeared in the Season 2 episode of fave show 90210 titled “What’s Past is Prologue”.  Crumbs has been a veritable institution in the Beverly Hills…
