A friend of mine has a fun blog on silent film and other Hollywood oddities. This week's blog is pretty cool about the strangest house in Hollywood.

Before you click the link, some of the photos are NSFW

The Silent Movie Blog - story of the spiderpool

Makes me want to hiking to find the spiderpool, uh in 90+ degrees, not so much.

The link he referenced at the bottom did not work for me. I need to email him about it, or I typed it wrong.

Neat find. And very cool that it's still right there!

Mmmm - tasty cheesecake. (Tura Satana!) Oh, and I would love to visit this site myself. If anyone does go, take lots of pictures.

You know, A visit to the spider pool could be the PERFECT LoT Swanking.

First, I love that the blog contains one of Harold Lloyd's pin-ups. Hurrah!

This absolutely demands a LoT swanking of some kind.

Visible mojo for this super awesome post.

(And, L'Hédoniste, I'm sure some of us lady folk would participate with a little persuasion and maybe some booze. And NM does have a portable martini set....)
