    My Guide to Palm Springs – Cocktails

    ‘ Palm Springs has long been a playground of the show business elite, largely because back in the days of Old Hollywood, the studios required their stars to always be within a two-hour drive from Los Angeles.  The desert – picturesque, secluded and a scant 100 miles from Lalaland – therefore became the obvious go-to…

    Madeline and Ernest’s Mansion from “Death Becomes Her”

    ‘ It’s Friday the 13th!  Friday, October 13th!  Could anything be better?  This Haunted Hollywood season, the universe has really been pushing me to watch Death Becomes Her.  I had never seen the 1992 flick and, while I knew it was about two longtime female rivals obsessed with aging, always assumed it fell into the…

    Demitasse Café from “Bosch”

    ‘ I hope all of my fellow stalkers had a fun and safe Halloween.  For this year’s festivities, the Grim Cheaper and I headed over to our neighbor’s house for an amazing party (the decorations were like nothing I have ever seen!) and had an absolute blast.  Our 2018 costumes were, per usual, celebrity-inspired.  Unusual…

    ‘ My love of coffee knows no bounds!  So I have, of course, visited pretty much every café the Coachella Valley has to offer.  Of that group, there are a few standouts.  Read on for my list of the very best spots to grab a cup of joe in the desert.  As was the case…

    Freddy’s BBQ Joint from “House of Cards”

    ‘ I have never been a fan of dark TV shows or movies.  Surprising, I know, considering my love for true crime and all podcasts, documentaries and news stories related to the subject.  But when it comes to fictional TV and movie watching, I prefer a much lighter fare.  One exception to this rule is…
