  • Shopping, Shopping and More Shopping!

    Shopping, Shopping and More Shopping!

    ‘ I spent pretty much all day Friday Christmas shopping (I FINALLY figured out what to get Miss Pinky Lovejoy, of the Thinking Pink blog, thank God!  And yes, it’s pink!), so I unfortunately did not have time to write a post for today.  I will be back tomorrow, though, with a whole new location.…

  • The SmokeHouse Restaurant from “Lucifer”

    The SmokeHouse Restaurant from “Lucifer”

    ‘ Hollywood loves a redux.  So do I, apparently, because here I am yet again with yet another location re-do!  (For those who missed it, I penned a second post on the Simpson family home from She’s Out of Control last week.)  Today’s blog is actually my third go-around with this particular spot (you can…

  • A Day Off

    A Day Off

    ‘ I spent all day Friday running around and, unfortunately, did not have time to write a post for today, but I will be back tomorrow with a whole new location. I hope all of my fellow stalkers had a fabulous weekend! And in the meantime, check out this fabulous new blog I just discovered…

  • The Virgil from “A Star Is Born”

    The Virgil from “A Star Is Born”

    ‘ I got a text from my friend Liz the other day saying, “Don’t see A Star Is Born . . . OMG!” followed by a bunch of crying face emojis.  As Liz and most of my fellow stalkers are well aware, I do not like sad or depressing movies – at all.  Liz needn’t…

  • The “Teen Witch” “Top That” Street Rap

    The “Teen Witch” “Top That” Street Rap

    ‘ There is no more iconic moment in the 1989 classic Teen Witch than the epic “Top That” street rap scene.  Stalking the location where it was filmed was pretty high up on my list of things to do while I was in L.A. recently (after stalking the main house featured in the movie first,…

  • Vincent Price in Thriller

    Vincent Price in Thriller

    ‘ At the risk of this site dwelling far too excessively on the recent sad passing of pop star Michael Jackson, I just had to write one more blog post about him.  Or, rather, about his legendary music video Thriller and one of its main filming locations. I received an email last night with the above photograph…

  • Only in L.A.!

    Only in L.A.!

    ‘ The other day while I was on my way to acting class I experienced one of those “Only in L.A.” moments that I love so much. 🙂 While walking past Lucky Strike Lanes Bowling Alley on Highland Avenue in Hollywood I noticed a vending machine selling Movie Star Maps and I just about died…

  • Spadra Cemetery

    Spadra Cemetery

    ‘ Finding the words “ghost town” used to describe a cemetery is likely to cause my head to start spinning.  Which is exactly what happened while I was doing some research on abandoned locales for an upcoming Discover Los Angeles post.  I happened to come across an article on the Avoiding Regret blog about a…

  • Slacking Off . . . Again!

    Slacking Off . . . Again!

    ‘ I unfortunately do not have a blog to post for today (yet again!), but I do have a good excuse.  My dad had surgery yesterday at Cedars- Sinai Hospital to determine how much damage was done to his pancreas over the past three years while he was taking the medication that caused his pancreatitis. …

  • Bombay Beach

    Bombay Beach

    ‘ Out of all of the Salton Sea townships that I stalked while my best friend, Robin, was visiting in March, Bombay Beach was, without a doubt, my favorite.  Situated about twenty miles south of the North Shore Beach and Yacht Club (which I blogged about here), the tiny census-designated place is made up of…
