Dearly Departed Tour of Hollywood


Marilyn's handprints on the walk of fame

Home used in "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane"

The LaBianca house from the Manson murders

The Rainbow Room

Bugsy Siegel's House


Wow, it seems from the comments on Megan Fox, you all really don't like her. I guess I'm not the only one! My friend Judy and I took a fabulous tour of Hollywood over the summer and it was so great, that we decided to take it again next Saturday! Scott Michaels is the owner of Dearly Departed Tours, based in Hollywood, CA. He is so incredibly knowledgeable about his subject matter (Hollywood) that we couldn't believe how much we learned in just a short tour!

If you want to really get a great tour of Old Hollywood, check out his website, Dearly Departed Tours. You must take the tour and tell him I sent you!

I'm a little lonely today and am missing Jerry. I haven't heard much from him since he's been gone. Do you think he misses me? Arrrrggghhh, I'm not insecure, but I guess must really miss him.

Here are some pics of the last Dearly Departed tour we took.

I would love to do a tour like that one day, it will be on my to-do list if i ever make it to America! xx

Stefanie Valentine said...

PS, of course Jerry misses you, you lovely thing! x

Simone said...

I am sure Jerry is missing you like crazy, I don't doubt that for a second :) He'll be home soon :)

I would love to do some of those Hollywood tours, fascinating.

And Megan Fox....ugh!!! Never seen her in anything but all the photos I see of her, she looks plain trashy and I have only ever heard negative publicity about her. What is it they say....be nice to people on the way up cos one day you might meet them on the way down....she should remember that!

And as for her being beautiful...clearly she isn't unattractive but I thought she has had a ton of surgery so it's hardly natural beauty is it?

That's my 2 cents worth anyway :)

Dragonfly said...

Id love to do this tour, sounds like a lot of fun. As for Megan, I think she looks very attractive when she covers herself up a little more, but otherwise trashy most of the time.
Have a great day, and don't forget absence makes the heart grow fonder :-)

Matty said...

Yet another thing you've written about that I didn't know about. If I'm ever on the left coast, it will be on my agenda. As for Jerry, he's a guy. That should explain everything.

I'm jealous!! I really want to go on one of those tours, but can never seem to find the time when I'm actually there. Sigh...oh well!

So sorry about my comment from yesterday...I had a number of windows opened trying to get to everyone and I accidentally hit ok on yours :(

Fascinating tour, I've read Helter Skelter several times but haven't seen the LaBianca house that I remember. CREEEEEEEEEEEEEpy.
Hope your Monday was lovely, and I meant to thank you for the lovely blog award when I last visited but I was distracted by M. Fox and her chest.
