Cher, portrayed by the smoking hot Alicia Silverstone, is a rich and pampered teenager who lives at the top of the heap in Beverly Hills. Even though she spends her days at school, she has more important things on her mind; fashion, spending time at the mall and hanging out with her best friend, Dionne.
But Cher suddenly finds she has a purpose when two of her teachers need a love connection. She makes the match and with one success under her designer belt, she set her sights on another clueless and lonely soul, Tai Fraisier (played by the recently deceased Brittany Murphy). Cher has a harder time with Tai because she wants to set Tai up with Elton, a popular senior and Elton has the hots for Cher.
After one of those good ol' high school parties when the house gets trashed and someone pukes in the pool, Elton drives Cher home. On the way, Elton makes a pass at Cher who becomes increasingly frustrated that he is not interested in Tai. When Elton won't stop groping her, she gets out of the car in the parking lot of Circus Liquor and Elton drives off.
This isn't a good idea. After being left alone in the dark, Cher gets mugged and is totally forced to kiss the pavement. This is like, really bad for her and she has to suck it up and call her ex-stepbrother whom she hates at the time.
The party was supposed to be in Sun Valley but Circus Liquor is actually in North Hollywood which really isn't on the way from Sun Valley to Beverly Hills. Oh well, movies aren't supposed to be geography lessons.
You wanted me to take the pictures at night and make them more like the movie ??
As if!
I didn't want the same fate as Cher. The daytime pics will have to do.
This is not an exciting picture but it does indicate the area where Cher was forced down on the ground by her attacker.
In one of those blink-or-you'll-miss-it shots, Cher walks past the Witch's House which is located in Beverly Hills. She walks by it as she pouts about her disastrous driving test.
When I took these photos, the house was in the middle of a reconstruction. There was a green fence around it and the front yard was a little torn up. It has been around since 1921 so I guess it was time for a little tune-up.
WORTH THE TREK? 4/10 for Circus Liquor. Although it is a really cool looking neon sign, it is just that and the store sells liquor which can be purchased elsewhere. 7/10 for the Witch's House because it is such a unique property sitting among the snobby 90210 estates. Unfortunately it cannot be toured and I have no idea when the renovations will be completed.
