    Taking the Day Off

    ‘ I do not have a new blog to post for today as I spent all day yesterday in the South Bay doing some stalking with Mike, from MovieShotsLA, but I do promise to be back tomorrow with a whole new location.  So until that time . . . Happy Stalking! ‘

  • The Filming Locations of “Breaking Bad”

    The Filming Locations of “Breaking Bad”

    ‘ I am not a Breaking Bad fan.  I know, I know – I am in the minority on this one.  The Grim Cheaper and I started to watch the series, which ran on AMC from 2008 through 2013, and absolutely LOVED the first two episodes.  They were hilarious.  Then the show seemed to take…

  • The “Mama’s Family” Houses

    The “Mama’s Family” Houses

    ‘ I have dreamed of writing this post for so long!  One of the locations I get asked about the most (I literally get emails and comments about it all the time!) is the house that portrayed Thelma Harper’s (Vicki Lawrence) residence during the first two seasons of Mama’s Family.  For those who aren’t familiar…

    The Poise Magazine Office from “13 Going On 30”

    ‘ First, let me just say how happy I am that Britney apparently survived Starbucks three hour closure today! It’”‘”‘s truly a minor miracle!! Anyway, on with the post . . . This past December while on vacation in New York, I happened to walk by a building that I immediately recognized as the “Poise”…

  • Rocking My Wedding Reception – Michael Jackson Style

    Rocking My Wedding Reception – Michael Jackson Style

    ‘ Ever since I first watched fave movie 13 Going On 30 for the first time back in 2004 and saw Jenna Rink (aka Jennifer Garner) so charmingly reenact the Zombie Dance sequence from “Michael Jackson’s Thriller” while at a party, I became absolutely obsessed with doing the very same thing at my wedding reception. …

  • Barb’s Quickie Grill from “Pretty Woman”

    Barb’s Quickie Grill from “Pretty Woman”

    ‘ Another Pretty Woman location that I spent countless hours trying to track down recently was the tiny café where Vivian Ward (Julia Roberts) and Edward Lewis (Richard Gere) had dinner towards the end of the classic 1990 flick.  And while the name of the establishment – “Barb’s Quickie Grill” – and a street number…

  • Ah, How the Mighty Have Fallen!

    Ah, How the Mighty Have Fallen!

    ‘ This weekend for my boyfriend’”‘”‘s birthday I took him on a surprise little weekend getaway to Newport Beach. He was especially excited because I wasn’”‘”‘t aware of any filming locations in Newport and hadn’”‘”‘t planned any stalking for the weekend. But fate stepped in! While in our hotel room, I happened to open up…

    Houses from “Life in Pieces”

    ‘ Today’s post is once again brought to you by my friend, fellow stalker Michael (you can read his other fabulous guest columns here, here, here and here).  As was the case yesterday, this article is, surprisingly, not about a The Brady Bunch location.  Take it away, Michael! Each fall I’m always excited as the…

  • Abbot’s Habit from “The Truth About Cats & Dog”

    Abbot’s Habit from “The Truth About Cats & Dog”

    ‘ Last Saturday, after stalking the Venice exterior of O’Hara’s Pub from Bad Santa (which I blogged about here), the Grim Cheaper and I decided to walk around Abbot Kinney Boulevard for a bit.  At one point during our stroll, we passed by a corner coffee shop named Abbot’s Habit and I recognized it immediately…

  • Descanso Beach Club from “NCIS”

    Descanso Beach Club from “NCIS”

    ‘ My family has long had a love affair with Catalina, the idyllic island located about 22 miles southwest of Los Angeles.  One of our favorite spots to grab lunch or an evening cocktail while there is Descanso Beach Club, a toes-in-the-sand restaurant situated along the shore of Descanso Bay.  I have visited the site…
