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.
Gingerella says
Megan who? ๐
I’d love to do a tour like this someday. Plus just go to Hollywood, period!
Mermaid Queen says
I want to take that tour Kori, it sounds so cool. Hope Jerry comes hope soon. ๐
Take care,

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.

Matty says
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.
Laura C-dot says
PS. Of course you visit Scott’s site, Find a Death ๐
I LOVE him. If I ever get to California, I will hug him!
Laura C-dot says
Thanks for stopping by my blog – I’m following you for sure!
I’ve always wanted to go to Hollywood, and take pictures just like these ones <3 Great collection!
Yesterday Girl says
Hi Kori, Just stopping by to wish you a Happy New year and to say that I am so impressed with your dedication to daily blogging!And thank you for creating all your lovely awards…x (P.S: of course he misses you!)
Castles Crowns and Cottages says
Blondie dear, I think I have seen your blog before…It is gorgeous as well! Thank you for coming by!! How did you find me? I guess we all pass each other in our busy lives, but thank you so much for coming by to indulge in a little “simplicity”….I do love however, GLAM, GLITZ and GLITTER!!! Bisous, Anita
Dragonfly says
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 ๐
Simone says
I am sure Jerry is missing you like crazy, I don’t doubt that for a second ๐ He’ll be home soon ๐
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 ๐
Stefanie Valentine says
PS, of course Jerry misses you, you lovely thing! x
Stefanie Valentine says
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
