  • Halloween 2008

    Halloween 2008

    ‘ For Halloween this year, I desperately wanted my boyfriend and I to dress up like Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio. I know, total shocker. 🙂 It all ended up coming together quite perfectly, too, as earlier this summer I found a white dress a la Marilyn’”‘”‘s subway grate ensemble, that was super inexpensive. I…

  • A Tour of Rockhaven Sanitarium

    A Tour of Rockhaven Sanitarium

    ‘ Well, here it is – my final Haunted Hollywood post of 2014.  Sad day!    Last September, I stalked an abandoned mental health institution named Rockhaven Sanitarium where Marilyn Monroe’s mother, Gladys Baker Eley, spent almost a decade and a half of her life.  Due to the fact that the place was gated and…

    Monrovia Bakery from the New “Iceland” Pilot

    ‘ During this entire past week, the television pilot for the new Fox comedy series Iceland, which stars Scrubs’ Kerry Bishe, Friday Night Lights’ Zach Gilford, and 24’s John Boyd, has been filming on location on Myrtle Avenue in Old Town Monrovia, just down the street from where my parents now live.  The show, which…

  • The Royal Laundry Complex from the “As Long As You Love Me” Music Video

    The Royal Laundry Complex from the “As Long As You Love Me” Music Video

    ‘ Friends often refer to me as a “foamer,” i.e. a person who foams at the mouth over all things Disney.  Apparently, I am not a very good one, though, because up until just recently I had no clue that for the past thirteen years the Disney Store has been headquartered at the Royal Laundry…

  • New Discover L.A. Post – Beach Filming Locations

    New Discover L.A. Post – Beach Filming Locations

    ‘ I do not have a new guide for today (these posts are killing me, I swear!), but be sure to check back tomorrow for a list of my favorite places to grab a cocktail in Los Angeles.  In the meantime, check out my latest Discover L.A. post about beaches that have appeared onscreen. ‘

  • Palm Springs City Hall from “Behind the Candelabra”

    Palm Springs City Hall from “Behind the Candelabra”

    ‘ The Behind the Candelabra location that I was most excited to stalk was Palm Springs City Hall, which appeared very briefly towards the end of the recently-aired HBO biopic.  When I first saw the locale pop up onscreen, in all of its retro glory, I was convinced that it was a set that had…

  • Get Out Of Line!

    Get Out Of Line!

    ‘ Those of you who read my blog regularly know that there’”‘”‘s only one thing I like better than stalking and that’”‘”‘s Starbucks.  🙂  Or any kind of coffee, really.  So when Mike, from MovieShotsLA, called me up last Sunday morning and asked if I wanted to stalk a coffee shop with him, I believe…

  • The “Hangover” House

    The “Hangover” House

    ‘ A few weeks ago, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, called me up to let me know that he was on the hunt for the main house used in fave movie The Hangover.  The two of us both had a pretty good inkling that the residence was located somewhere in the Pasadena area, we just weren’t sure…

  • Bob Hope’s Former House – A Trick-or-Treating Mecca

    Bob Hope’s Former House – A Trick-or-Treating Mecca

    ‘ As I have mentioned a couple of times before on this blog, this stalker absolutely loves herself some Los Angeles Magazine – especially the ever-witty and always-informative “Ask Chris – The City Explained” write-in column, in which Associate Editor/author Chris Nichols answers Angelenos’ random questions about life in the City of Angels.  This month’s…

  • Myra Jones’ Former House

    Myra Jones’ Former House

    ‘ Though I love true crime and pretty much all of its facets, there are some cases that I find too sad and disturbing to read about, research, do any stalking of, or feature on my blog.  Today’s locale, the site of the brutal rape and murder of a 71-year-old grandma, is not one I…
