What’s not to love about this place?! Creepy mannequins of saloon girls on the balcony and a dude on a horse bursting through the wall.
Not to mention, the world’s most intense and dedicated host. He stared me down and did not waver as I stood just 2 feet away from him snapping pictures. Then he flew into the restaurant after us and sat next to me throughout our entire meal.
So attentive! This guy deserves a raise.

He also hung out with the ladies at the table next to us, but only for a bit because he liked me best.
Then he left for a moment and came back with a friend. By now I think everyone had finished eating and I hadn’t yet touched my food because I was so busy taking pictures of pigeons.
After we finished eating, our waiter surprised us with a complimentary Jolly Rancher flavored cotton candy. He told us it was on the house because we were so pretty and had nice hair. We believed him until we looked around and noticed that every single table in the restaurant had received the same. Heeeeey!! I will assume that his compliment was sincere and that it just so happened everyone in the restaurant was really pretty and had nice hair that day.
We were too full to eat it, so we mostly just played with it.
And stuck our hands in it.
It wasn’t long before we had the genius idea to pour beer into the cotton candy and stir it to make our own shit nasty cocktail.
After leaving the restaurant, we drove past the Beverly Hilton Hotel, where people were leaving flowers and candles in memory of Whitney Houston.
We went to our favorite prop house to search for random oddities and possible photo shoot props.
Last time we were here, I scored this epic huge ice cream cone which now hangs in my office!
Didn’t really find anything useful this time around, but it’s always fun to look.
Until next time!
XOXO

Awww… I love pigeons! You look bright and shiny and radiantly cute, as usual! xoxo kb.
Thanks, Karen! I haven’t talked to you in ages, it’s always good to hear from you! xo
I love when birds stick around at the table. Makes me miss having my parrot around. <3
cotton candy and beer sounds nasty. I’m not letting y’all make me a cocktail EVER. Awwwl the pigeon liked you bestest.
Speaking of animals… I’ve befriended the two feral cats in front of my house. Sadly I’m having a hard time communicating that their claws hurt. :( They’re just pawing at me… but it kinda hurts a bit.
Awww that’s so cute that they are even getting close enough to paw at you (even though it hurts haha)! You must be a cat whisperer or something, because feral cats are either super vicious or won’t come anywhere near a human at all.
Oh yeah, your posts always cheers me up. Thanks a bunchies hehe.
Your comments cheer me up! Especially when they are about animals! ^__^
haha! The outside of Saddle Ranch looks so creepy!
Reminds me of that film ‘House of Wax’
The prop house looks amazing, I’d love to have a rummage in there!
Haha I think tacky decor makes any restaurant 100000x better! :-D
you always find THE coolest things!
The giant ice cream cone was a once in a lifetime score! I haven’t been able to find anything like it since. Need more stuffff!!
looks like a lot of fun! idk about cotton candy beer but it looked like a cool color. what were you wearing? looks sooooo cute;3
Thanks! I was wearing a vintage thrift store nightie. Most of my dresses are really just beat up old slips and nightgowns haha!
I wanna see pictures of your offices and warehouse! The sneak peeks are making me uber curious :o
I haven’t taken any real pictures of it yet! I have this problem where I get super motivated to clean and decorate for a day, then I get distracted and never finish, and the mess piles up again. My goal is to finish before the year’s end! :-}
OMG!~
Adding the Saddle Ranch to my list of places I must visit before I croak! I really hope the same host will be there to seat me. To accompany me at my meals! I swear, you find the best theme restaurants. You should have “theme restaurant tours”.
That prop house looks fucking fantastic! What is it called?
ACK! I really don’t know. I am so terrible! I actually asked my friend the other day because I can never remember the name, but she couldn’t remember either haha. I’m sure I’ll be back there again soon, so I’ll make a note of it next time! ^__^
