    The Urban Outfitters from “National Treasure”

    ‘ Today’s stalking venture is not only six years in the making, but a cross-country endeavor!  Way back in January 2013, as the Grim Cheaper and I were preparing to move from Pasadena to Palm Springs, I caught National Treasure on TV and immediately recognized the exterior of the Urban Outfitters in the flick as…

    Latest “L.A.” Mag Post – About the “Vacation” House

    ‘ Don’t forget to read my latest post for L.A.mag.com, about the Griswold house from National Lampoon’s Vacation.  My articles typically get published in the late morning/early afternoon hours. ‘

  • Halloween 2016 at the Los Angeles Haunted Hayride

    Halloween 2016 at the Los Angeles Haunted Hayride

    ‘ I love anything and everything having to do with the ‘80s.  So when I started hearing buzz about Stanger Things, a horror series on Netflix with deep ‘80s undertones, this past summer, I knew I’d be hooked.  The Grim Cheaper and I finally sat down to binge-watch it in August and immediately became obsessed,…

  • The “Twins” Mansion

    The “Twins” Mansion

    ‘ Another day, another Twins  location.  🙂  Unbelievably, before writing my post about the Twins house yesterday, I had yet to actually see the movie. For some reason, even though we own a copy of it on DVD, I had never sat down to watch it.  Until yesterday, that is.  But, as often happens to me when watching a movie for the…

  • The Cullen House from “The Twilight Saga: New Moon”

    The Cullen House from “The Twilight Saga: New Moon”

    ‘ Another location that I stalked while in Vancouver two weeks ago was the residence where the Cullen family – including Edward (aka Robert Pattinson), Alice (aka Ashley Greene), Jasper (aka Jackson Rathbone), Carlisle (aka Peter Facinelli), Esme (aka Elizabeth Reaser), Emmett (aka Kellan Lutz), and Rosalie (aka Nikki Reed) – lived in the 2009…

  • Spencer and Heidi’s Apartment – the Holy Grail of Filming Locations!

    Spencer and Heidi’s Apartment – the Holy Grail of Filming Locations!

    ‘ I don’”‘”‘t know what’”‘”‘s sadder – that it took me as long as it did to locate Speidi’”‘”‘s apartment building or the fact that I was so completely consumed with finding it in the first place! I keep asking myself – Why am I so fixated on these two idiots? I have no logical…

  • Flash Forward!

    Flash Forward!

    ‘ This past weekend, while out doing some stalking, my boyfriend and I happened upon a rather large film shoot that shut down an entire block in Downtown Los Angeles.  So, of course, we just had to pull the car over to find out what was being filmed.  🙂  Turns out it was the pilot episode of a…

  • Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day

    Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day

    ‘ When initially writing out “Martin Luther King Jr.” in the above title, I made a mistake, spelling his last name “Kind” instead of “King.”  Talk about an apropos typo!  Today, as we celebrate the birth of the great leader, whose example of compassion and love has proved everlasting, let’s remember to be kind to…

  • The Ritz-Carlton, Rancho Mirage

    The Ritz-Carlton, Rancho Mirage

    ‘ The Ritz-Carlton, Rancho Mirage recently re-opened after what amounted to countless delays and an almost eight-year closure.  A few years prior to its shuttering, when it was known as The Lodge at Rancho Mirage, the resort hosted the nuptials of Bachelorette Trista Rehn and Ryan Sutter, and I had been itching to stalk it…

  • Packing, Packing and Packing Some More!

    Packing, Packing and Packing Some More!

    ‘ While I did manage to do a bit of stalking this weekend, most of my time was spent packing up our apartment (we are moving in nine days – yikes!), so I did not have time to write a new post for today. But I will (hopefully) be back tomorrow with a whole new…
