    My Guide to Palm Springs – See/Do/Shop

    ‘ With 365 days of sunshine a year and a plethora of gorgeous lodgings, Palm Springs is the perfect vacation venue to sit around the pool and do nothing.  But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a wide array of things to do while in town.  Below is a list of my favorite local sites to…

  • Cicada from “The Morning Show”

    Cicada from “The Morning Show”

    ‘ I don’t know what all the hullabaloo regarding The Morning Show being terrible is about.  The Grim Cheaper and I trepidatiously tuned in earlier this week and, considering all the jeers reviewers are spewing, were shocked at how much we enjoyed the new Apple TV+ series!  We devoured the three episodes that have aired…

  • Bradley’s Mom’s House from “The Morning Show”

    Bradley’s Mom’s House from “The Morning Show”

    ‘ The Morning Show really threw me for a loop, location-wise (as I mentioned in this recent post).  Set in NYC, I got through the entire first episode of the new Apple TV+ series thinking it was shot in the Big Apple, as well.  I did have a couple moments of hesitation in that belief…

  • The L.A. Confidential Liquor Store

    The L.A. Confidential Liquor Store

    ‘ Got an email a few weeks back from fellow stalker Tracey who gave me the address of a film location that Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I had been trying to find for months – the liquor store from the 1997 movie L.A. Confidential!   Mike and I had known from doing some online research that…

  • The Millennium Biltmore Hotel from “A Star Is Born”

    The Millennium Biltmore Hotel from “A Star Is Born”

    ‘ It’s not everyday you’ll find photos of a public restroom on my site.  It’s not everyday you’ll find me stalking one either.  But a couple of years ago, the Grim Cheaper and I were granted an extensive private tour of the Millennium Biltmore Los Angeles that included a visit to the hotel’s Regency Room…

  • The Disneyland Locations from “Saving Mr. Banks”

    The Disneyland Locations from “Saving Mr. Banks”

    ‘ In February (on what turned out to be an exorbitantly crowded day), the Grim Cheaper and I visited The Happiest Place on Earth with Miss Pinky Lovejoy, of the Thinking Pink blog, and her husband, Keith Coogan.   Since I had just recently watched – and fallen in love with – Saving Mr. Banks, I…

  • A Joint Stalking Adventure

    A Joint Stalking Adventure

    ‘ This past weekend, I finally had the pleasure of meeting Mike from MovieShotsLA in person! Mike and I decided to kill two birds with one stone, so to speak, by getting some stalking in during our meeting. 🙂 So we met up on the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica to grab some coffee…

  • Will Rogers Memorial Park from “90210”

    Will Rogers Memorial Park from “90210”

    ‘ As I mentioned yesterday, my fiancé and I spent quite a bit of last weekend making up for lost time, so to speak, by catching up on all of the stalking that I had been putting off over the past few months while my dad was ill.  The location that I was most excited…

  • Madeline’s House from “Big Little Lies”

    Madeline’s House from “Big Little Lies”

    ‘ Every once in a while a show comes along that absolutely grips me.  Granted, I watch – and get hooked on – a lot of series, but among them are certain standouts.  The Hills, Vanderpump Rules, and Beverly Hills, 90210 come to mind, though my obsession with the latter was admittedly next-level.  My latest…

  • SecondHand Wonderland

    SecondHand Wonderland

    ‘ My BFF Mike, from MovieShotsLA, recently opened a vintage/collectables shop named SecondHand Wonderland in Simi Valley.  The boutique’s motto is “Not your average thrift store,” which couldn’t more perfectly encapsulate the place.  Mike has accumulated a massive amount of entertainment memorabilia, movie props, sports collectables, magazines and vintage toys over the years, all of…
