    Merry Christmas!

    ‘ I would like to wish all of my fellow stalkers a very merry Christmas filled with family, friends, food, and joyous festivities.  I will be taking the next week off to spend with the Grim Cheaper and my family and will resume regular posting starting Wednesday, January 3.  See you then! ‘

  • 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,…

  • The “Beaches” Mansion

    The “Beaches” Mansion

    ‘ One location that I have been asked about repeatedly ever since I first started my blog almost four years ago (and I CANNOT even believe that it has been that long!!!) is the large Tudor-style mansion where Hillary Whitney Essex (aka Barbara Hershey) lived in the 1988 tearjerker Beaches.  And while it had long…

    “The Crush” Mansion

    ‘ Another Vancouver location that I stalked while visiting the Pacific Northwest two weeks ago was the supposed Seattle-area mansion where Adrian Forrester (aka Alicia Silverstone) lived with her parents in the 1993 movie The Crush.  And while I can’t say that I was a huge fan of the thriller/drama, because Alicia Silverstone grew up…

    Another Day Off!

    ‘ Yes, I am taking yet another day off!  But I have a good excuse – a fellow stalker named Sara was in town visiting from Switzerland and I spent all day yesterday stalking with her.  And then last night Miss Pinky Lovejoy, from the Thinking Pink blog, and I attended a screening of The…

  • Police Doubt Fire . . .

    Police Doubt Fire . . .

    ‘ One of my favorite movie lines of all time is “It was a run-by fruiting!” from Mrs. Doubtfire – Robin William says the line to Pierce Brosnan after throwing a piece of fruit at his head at the local pool. LOL So, this weekend, the Mrs. Doubtfire house was on my must-see list of…

  • Another Day Off

    Another Day Off

    ‘ I hate to do this again, but because I spent most of yesterday as a reader at the annual Read-In at the school where my mom used to teach, I did not have time to write a new blog post for today.  (The door decoration that the class I read for made for me…
