    The 19th Annual Art of Motion Picture Costume Design Exhibition at FIDM

    ‘ As I mentioned in yesterday’s post about the Buckland Auction House from Charmed, this past weekend I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to stalk the 19th Annual Art of Motion Picture Costume Design Exhibition which is currently on display at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising Museum & Galleries in Downtown Los Angeles…

    Taking the Week Off!

    ‘ I will be taking a break from blogging this week as I will be visiting my grandmother in Reno, Nevada until Friday afternoon.  And while I will not be posting any new locations for the next five days, I will definitely be stalking them!  I packed my copy of The Misfits, which was primarily…

  • Chasen’s Restaurant from “Enemy of the State”

    Chasen’s Restaurant from “Enemy of the State”

    ‘ I grew up about as far removed from Hollywood and the world of show business as you can get.  But somehow I was familiar with Chasen’s, the West Hollywood restaurant that played stomping ground to the Tinseltown elite for close to six decades.  I’m not sure where my knowledge of the famed eatery came…

    Lila’s Apartment Building on Dexter

    ‘ A few months ago, my fiancé and I started watching the Showtime television series Dexter and I have to say that it didn’t take very long for the two of us to become completely and totally obsessed with it.  So, as I’m sure you can probably imagine, I’ve also become pretty obsessed lately with…

    Paula’s House from “Four Christmases”

    ‘ While I realize that the holidays are now over and that I should be posting about a non-Yule-related locale, today’s house is one that I have been searching for for over a year and finally found on the morning of December 25th – yes, it was a Christmas miracle – and I am FAR…

  • “The Crush” Mansion

    “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…

    "Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli"

    ‘ My title might be a bit in poor taste, but it seems Robert Blake followed just that advice on a fateful day back in May 2001 after dining at Vitello’”‘”‘s Restaurant in Studio City. Although a jury found him not guilty, it is pretty widely assumed that Blake murdered his wife Bonnie Lee Bakley…

    Jason Mesnick’s Bachelor Pad

    ‘ Monday night’”‘”‘s episode of The Bachelor  was all that RealitySteve  promised it would be – and more!  The show played out pretty much EXACTLY as he said it would and I completely agree with him that the finale’”‘”‘s “shocking twist” was a set-up from the get-go.  Something about Molly’”‘”‘s reaction during the After the Final Rose …

    The Former KCET Studios from “L.A. Story”

    ‘ While perusing through my extensive backlog of stalking photographs recently, I realized that there were a few L.A. Story locales that I had yet to blog about, one of which was the former site of KCET Studios in Los Feliz, where Harris K. Telemacher (Steve Martin) worked in the 1991 comedy.  I had actually…
