    Having a Carrie Bradshaw Moment

    ‘ I have three pretty big articles due in the coming days for both Discover Los Angeles and L.A. Magazine, and am having a bit of a Carrie Bradshaw moment.  I can finally utter her famous words, “I’m on deadline!”  Because of said deadline(s), and an upcoming trip to L.A. – the trip is actually…

    24/7 Restaurant

    ‘ All stalkers have those locations – the ones that, despite years of searching, remain on our unfound list.  Miraculously (and thanks to an insane amount of good fortune), I managed to track down one of mine recently, after over a decade of hunting for it! During the early 2000s, I had major girl crushes…

    A Visit with My Grandma

    ‘ My grandma is currently in town for a visit, so I will probably not be able to post a new column until later in the week as I will be spending time with her.  I hope all of my fellow stalkers have a great few days! ‘

    The ” . . . Baby One More Time” Costume

    ‘ One of the most important items on my Stalking Bucket List was checked off last week while the Grim Cheaper and I were in Las Vegas.  Way back in October 2010 (while doing research for this post), I learned that Britney Spears’ schoolgirl costume from her 1998 “ . . . Baby One More…

    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…

    Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant from “Black Widow”

    ‘ Sorry to have been a bit M.I.A. lately – my personal life has been rather hectic.  This week will be a little light on columns, too, as both of my parents have doctor appointments in L.A. that I have to take them, too.  So please bear with me.    And now, on with the…

  • The “Fancy” Music Video Party House

    The “Fancy” Music Video Party House

    ‘ I have never been very “hip” when it comes to music.  If it’s not sung by Michael Jackson, Michael Buble or Britney Spears, chances are I haven’t heard it.  So it should come as no surprise that when my friends Kim and Lavonna visited this past June and were singing the Iggy Azalea hit…

  • Happy Thanksgiving!

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    ‘ I will be taking the rest of this week off as my mom is having surgery and I will be helping with her recuperation, as well as celebrating Thanksgiving with my family.  I hope all of my fellow stalkers have a fabulous holiday! Until next time, Happy Stalking! ‘
