    Lorenzo Lamas’ House from “Sex and the City”

    ‘ This past weekend was hands down the best. Oscar. weekend. ever.  I ended up stalking only one event (the torrential rain kept me indoors the rest of the time), but while there I got to meet one of my top-five celebrity crushes, Mr. Joshua Jackson from Dawson’s Creek.   Like I said, best. Oscar. weekend.…

    Catalina’s Hamilton Cove

    ‘ While vacationing in Catalina this past week, I, of course, spent much of my time asking the local merchants which celebrities had been spotted on the island.  And I just about died when one store owner told me that Michael Buble, who has recently replaced Josh Duhamel as the celebrity love of my life, had…

    Storrier Stearns Japanese Garden from “Pure Genius”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I are finally getting around to landscaping the backyard of our new house, so to say I’m into gardens lately would be an understatement.  If I knew how to use Pinterest (I swear I cannot figure that site out), I’d be pinning foliage design ideas left and right.  Instead I’ve…

    ‘ Shortly before Halloween, my good friend Nat sent me a link to an article on the TopTenRealEstateDeals website (an article that I now maddeningly cannot find anywhere online) about the top ten haunted houses then for sale in the U.S.  My interest was immediately piqued at one of the properties featured when I read…

    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…

  • The “Ghost Dad” House

    The “Ghost Dad” House

    ‘ Long before I ever moved to Southern California, I purchased the Ultimate Hollywood Tour Book and was absolutely mesmerized by what I found inside.  One whole chapter of the tome is dedicated to filming locations in Pasadena and its environs and when my family and I did relocate to the Crown City in 2000,…
