  • Whirlwind Weekend

    Whirlwind Weekend

    ‘ I spent this past weekend in San Francisco celebrating my grandma’s 90th birthday.  The family threw her a surprise party and to say she was bowled over would be an understatement.  We had an absolute blast and I can’t think of a better way to have spent my Valentine’s.  For the evening, one of…

  • It’s A Wrap!

    It’s A Wrap!

    ‘ Got an email the other day from fellow stalker Heather who told me about a store in Burbank named It’”‘”‘s A Wrap that sells clothing, props, and memorabilia from recently wrapped movies and television shows!  Being that the store sounded right up my alley, I immediately ran out to stalk it!!  🙂  It’”‘”‘s A Wrap has been in…

  • New York’s Paley Park

    New York’s Paley Park

    ‘ New York has no shortage of “secret” places.  I blogged about one – Grand Central’s Whispering Gallery – on Friday.  Another that the Grim Cheaper and I are fond of is Paley Park, located in NYC’s Midtown East neighborhood.  We happened by the site while wandering along 53rd Street during our very first visit…

  • Happy Thanksgiving!

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    ‘ I am cutting this week short blogging-wise so that I can begin my Thanksgiving celebrations early.  I am so excited for all that we have planned for the holiday, including a stay somewhere cold, and will be sharing some of my upcoming adventures on the blog soon.  I hope all of my fellow stalkers…

    Beating the Heat

    ‘ Sorry to have been a bit MIA lately.  I have been travelling back and forth to L.A. over the past two weeks along with the Grim Cheaper and my parents in order to try to beat the heat in Palm Springs (temps got up to 122 degrees last Monday!).  I did do some stalking…

    InvenTORI – Tori Spelling’s New Store

    ‘ This past Friday afternoon, I just about died upon opening up the latest issue of US Magazine and reading in “The Records” section that, on Valentine’s Day, Beverly Hills, 90210–star Tori Spelling and her husband, Dean McDermott, had held the grand opening for their new antique store, InvenTORI (love it!), on Ventura Boulevard in…

  • Hooked On Houses

    ‘ Jackie over at Hooked On Houses just gave me a very nice shout out linking back to my Father of the Bride post – Thanks, Jackie! Her post includes a very interesting article about the current owners of the FATB house, so check it out! I wasn’”‘”‘t aware that the producers had also used…

  • The Disney Garage

    The Disney Garage

    ‘ Anyone who reads this blog regularly knows that I am obsessed with all things Disney – especially Disneyland.  I can hardly pass by the “Disneyland Drive” sign on the 5 Freeway without feeling a twitch.  Not surprisingly, whenever I find myself in Orange County, my only interest is visiting the park and spending every…

  • My Favorite Entertainment Finds of 2018

    My Favorite Entertainment Finds of 2018

    ‘ I watch a lot of television and movies throughout the year – as both part of my job and for entertainment.  I am also a voracious reader and listen to a copious amount of podcasts.  2018 brought a slew of new finds.  Some started out as promising, but completely missed the mark [I’m looking…

    Madame Tussauds Hollywood

    ‘ This past weekend, while out stalking in Hollywood, my fiance and I walked right past the new Madame Tussauds wax museum and I just about had a total meltdown right there on the sidewalk of Hollywood Boulevard!  The museum, which was supposed to open to the public on August 1st, was hosting a special preview event when we walked…
