Happy Presidents’ Day!
‘ This weekend was a whirlwind that included a spectacular Valentine’s Day with the Grim Cheaper, a (VERY crowded, but fun) trip to Disneyland with Miss Pinky Lovejoy of the Thinking Pink blog and her husband, Keith Coogan, and seeing Air Force One in person (can’”‘”‘t get more presidential than that!). I, unfortunately, did not…

The Brothers and Sisters House
‘ Got a last week from who wanted me to do some stalking of the house used in the ABC series . I’”‘”‘d actually gotten this challenge once before, but since I had never really watched the show, I hadn’”‘”‘t put much effort into stalking it. But then I saw the house on and he…

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.

South Pasadena Public Library from “Say Anything . . . “
‘ I was incredibly saddened to learn of the passing of John Mahoney last week.

Pappy & Harriet’s Pioneertown Palace from “Ingrid Goes West”
‘ Ingrid Goes West is perhaps the most topically poignant movie I’ve ever seen!

Marilyn Monroe’s Former Home
‘ For some reason lately I have been obsessing on Miss Marilyn Monroe. I never really had any interest in her until recently, had never even seen any of her movies all the way through, and generally never really had an opinion about her one way or another. But that all changed about two weeks…

Tom Neal’s Former House
‘ Upon first moving to the Desert in January, I started seriously perusing the book Palm Springs Confidential, which the Grim Cheaper’s boss had purchased for me several years prior. One locale mentioned in the tome that immediately piqued my interest was the former Little Tuscany Estates residence of Tom Neal, where, on April 1st,…

Susina Bakery & Cafe from “90210”
‘ One location that I have been on the lookout for for almost two years now is the café where Adrianna Tate-Duncan (aka Jessica Lowndes) ran into former boyfriend Navid Shirazi (aka Michael Steger) in the Season 1 Valentine’s Day-themed episode of 90210 titled “Of Heartbreaks and Hotels”. What can I say? Because I am…
