    Frank The Tank!

    ‘ I have been a student at The Groundlings School for about two years now. The Groundlings is an exceptional improv school that was started in 1972 and is practically a breeding ground for Saturday Night Live actors. Some of the comedic greats who got their start at the Groundlings include Kathy Griffin, Lisa Kudrow,…

  • The “L.A. Story” Freeway Sign

    The “L.A. Story” Freeway Sign

    ‘ One locale that the Grim Cheaper suggested I track down a few years back – and that I have wondered about ever since – was the spot where the freeway sign from the 1991 classic comedy L.A. Story once stood.  Because it was a prop sign that was situated on a long expanse of…

    Mary See’s Former House

    ‘ Another location that I was reminded of while taking the Scott’s L.A. Audio Driving Tour of Pasadena this past week was the Craftsman-style residence where Mary See and her son Charles, founders of See’s Famous Old Time Candies, lived in the 1920s during the time when the legendary chocolate company was first established.  Because…

    Strand Book Store from “Sex and the City”

    ‘ I have made no secret of my love for bookstores on this blog, especially in recent weeks (as evidenced here and here).  I literally cannot get enough of them!  So when I spotted a book boutique pop up in the Season 2 episode of Sex and the City titled “The Freak Show,” which I…

  • Weekend Off!

    Weekend Off!

    ‘ Sorry to have been M.I.A. for the past couple of days, but my dad and I spent the end of last week finishing up my closet (pictures to come just as soon as I am done organizing it) and then Miss Pinky Lovejoy, from the Thinking Pink blog, came out to the desert for…

    A “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” Halloween

    ‘ I usually start planning my and the Grim Cheaper’s Halloween costumes on November 1st each year.  Out with the old, in with the new, as they say.  This year I was a bit late to the game because by the time mid-summer came around, I still found myself with no ideas.  And then, on…

    April’s House from “Glee”

    ‘ As I have mentioned countless times before, I am absolutely, irrevocably, one hundred percent obsessed with the television show Glee.  So obsessed that I’ve been watching my “Road to Sectionals” DVDs over and over and over again to bide my time until the series returns from its absurdly long hiatus on April 13th –…
