Really interesting tour of Palm Springs. Great history of each hotel also. Would be nice to see you do more exploration of the city, and the different points of interest.
THANK YOU STEVE! This was exactly what I was hoping to see and learn about. The city of Palm Springs will hopefully see your videos and will help sponsor your channel.
That place you asked about is Superbloom studios they are fashion designers and also are known for their abstract paintings which often mirrors their clothing and accessories. They are amazing creators of unique colorful hats and other items.
Hi Steve!! Being from PA all my life, I just go crazy over all the Palm trees!!!! I just love them! All that pink is really pretty too! Great job Steve! 🌴♥️😎🌞
@@theretiredlifewithsteve We are moving in August to Paso Robles. We bought a house last year there. No more snow, no more winters…ahhhhh! I can’t wait!!!! 🤗🌴♥️😎🌴🌞
Hi Steve. A very beautiful morning walk ! Everything is so colorful and eye-catching ! Love pink ! The motels would be fun to stay in for a night ! Thanks again for all your great vlogs! Take care ! Deborah Canada
Hi Laura, I saw a couple of clips from the show on RUclips and I would love to watch the entire series. I love property makeovers like this. I wish it had been on HGTV like the Brady Bunch House was.
I love watching both you channels. Especially your life in Palm Spring. If you're ever in London let me know and dinner is on me. Keep up the great work. Sheila xoxo
This is a great video. I live a block away from this hotel and I think it's amazing how beautifully this neighborhood has come together. I've been living here almost 17 yrs and I love it!
Steve, that is a lot of PINK! Palm Springs looks so beautiful. Thank You for sharing your town with us. I would have loved to see it in person, but I can’t really travel anymore, not like I used anyway. So, I travel with You! Thank You for sharing this video with all of us. Blessings to You and Jim. I hope that y’all had a great 4th of July.
Hello Steve and Jim! Wow...what a great historical tour in this video!! Ha...we were looking into maybe my wife and her sister and their mom coming to Palm Springs for a ladies trip. We looked into reservations at the Trixie Motel; it looks like a really fun place!! But..that comes with a price. I may just apply that cost towards furniture for our new condo and they just stay there hehehe. Thank you for this fun video!! I am hopeful that we all can start to get along!
Hi Steve, thanks again for another terrific program. Were you aware that Suzanne Somers house was finally sold? Like 8 million? The first listing on the home was like 34 million. The Lucy and Desi hotel in Indian Wells is now the Indian Wells Country Club. Their hotel is now the 11th and 12th fairway of the Country Club. Then the Hyatt Grand Champions was built. I stayed on the 10th fairway. Arnold Palmer won the first Bob Hope Desert Classic which was at The Indian Wells Country Club. I played the two courses at The Indian Wells Country Club. Now it's not The Hope anymore and is played at PGA West in La Quinta. You are correct when you say The greater Palm Springs area is rich in not only Hollywood history but history in general. From Dinah Shore to Bob Hope to President Gerald Ford. I'd love to live there.
Hello Steve! Thanks for the tour :) With all the premium channels, I heard of people rotating their subscriptions to be able to catch all the different shows they want to view. I am thinking about doing that also because as you rattled them off I was thinking yeah, too many at one time! Thanks again and have a great day!
Hi guys, I enjoyed your grocery haul video, you are both so organized. Steve, you mentioned the calories in milk, have you ever tried Unsweetened Almond Milk? I use it all the time, 30 calories per cup. 👍🏻
Hi Elizabeth, I just tried it for the first time last week and I'm a convert. That's all I will be buying from now on. I think I bought the sweetened which was still only 60 calories. Half that of what I was buying. Thanks! :-)
Hi Steve I was born in California but on San Diego thanks for the tours of different city of Cal.we lived in long Beach and cula vista cal sry for spelling
Hey Steve I don't remember seeing this one,so I'm responding 7 months later,oh well better late than never 😂.right? Thanks for showing all the hotels/motels of the stars over the years wow so interesting . We'll have to say my 2 fav colors are purple and pink So I love Trixie motel,it's so cute and it's not all the same pink and it's broken up in between on the sidewalk. My bedroom as a teen was pink wallpaper with tiny white flower pink painted closet . Pink princess phone . Pink desktop to do my homework on. Pink and white sheets pink floral comforter. 😂 Also I used to have a jeep Cherokee and my friend who was in the army national guard like camouflage. Asked me if I want to have him paint my jeep camo . I said sure he said what's fav color i said pink or purple. So he did it with different shades of purple lavender and white. It was so 🆒😎. I said if I ever get a thunderbird like Susan Somers in American Graffiti guess what color? Pink of course🌸❇️🌸🌺🌺.loved Liberace's piano mail box too. I played piano as a youngster!
It's funny you should show that Motel. Kind of a long story but because of cable that I had at certain times I never was able to watch RuPaul. Then I move to Massachusetts and I was able to get the current seasons of RuPaul. Changing the fire stick I'm now able to watch the old season of RuPaul and I'm now on season 7. I had previously seen Trixie so I knew who she was but I think that's so much fun to see her Motel. Second thing I wanted to say is I'm not going to watch you buy food anymore because now I'm hooked on Fudge Bars. Lol Just kidding I love your Channel and both of you. Stay safe
@@theretiredlifewithsteve Unfortunately these are not but I did also buy Zero sugar fruit popsicles. So I eat those in between. But I forgot how good those fudge bars were. So I will think about you every time I have one and smile.
What a beautiful hotel I would love to stay there, i have a couple of Trixy pricey lipsticks the quality is completely crap but the packaging are so Beautiful of course pink ! Great video Steve!
I would love to, but I have no idea where in Palm Springs she lives. Plus, I wouldn't want to show the home of a celebrity who is still living. They usually don't want fans showing up at their doorsteps. :-O
LOL, I go to bed pretty early too Thomas. :-) My grandparents came from farming familites and just passed down the tradition of getting up with the roosters! :-O
I shared this video with my partner/spouse as we love Palm Springs and used to go there often when we lived in West Hollywood (until moving to Atlanta in 2013). would love to stay at Trixie’s whenever we get back there. BTW I tried to click on the patrion link but it didn’t work.
Hi Thomas, I used to live in WeHo too in the 1970s and '80s. I don't have Patreon on this channel. Just the super thanks that you already contributed to. Thanks! :-)
I must admit we don't watch Rupauls Drag Race, nothing against such shows, we have in some ways come along way. When I was younger my name around the gay circut was Clit Eastwood, a very long time ago. The Trixie Hotel looks great, would love to spend a few days there if we ever came that way. Your opening shot of the liqour store reminded me I haven't had a drink in over twenty years, can still taste the creature when I think of it, same with cigarettes, even though I gave up them as well, take care great video, cheers!
17th..Heyy steve ... well who doesn't like some TRIXIE MATTEL? You ever hear how he got his drag name? His mom was dating a man - who used to Taunt him when he was a kid- because he was feminine acting ...the man would mock him and Call him Trixie... ..NOW WHO's LAUGHING? Trixie is One of RPDR TOP $$$ Making SUCCESSFUL Queens :) XO .....are you worried about LAKE MEADE? Ive been watching a videos on youtube regarding Lake Meade - NOT GOOD
Hi rextek, always fun when someone can get the last laugh. I had never heard that story. Thanks for sharing it. I think most of our water comes from our underground aquifer, so hopefully we won't be affected. Sad to see Lake Meade though. :-(
Hi Saykhel, it really depends on what you like. As a very famous, international vacation destination, we have something for everyone here. And are you talking about the CITY of Palm Springs or the greater Palm Springs area, which includes nine other cities? It makes a huge difference. We have some of the finest luxury hotels, golf course retreats, historic and celebrity boutique hotels, celebrity rentals, etc. If money was no object, I personally would rent Frank Sinatra's former Palm Springs home, which is almost in downtown PS. The options are endless, though.
As you say, pink was a very popular color on buildings and looks good on certain Spanish Colonial Revival buildings. However, the Pepto-Bismol tinged pink is just too pink and garish. Maybe the sun in Palm Springs will tone it down over time.
@@theretiredlifewithsteve We will have to disagree. Plenty of correct "pink" painted buildings are abundant in Southern California as well as my native Florida. There is pink and then there is Pepto-Bismol. I would not want to drive by that motel on a daily basis. The problem with a lot of mid century kitsch in Palm Springs is that people take it overboard and create a time capsule of kitsch rather than a reflection of mid century modern. There are plenty of of well executed mid century homes there that are modern and up to date by today's standards but reflect accurately the era in which the homes were built. I'm gay like many in Palm Springs but taste is taste and my design ideal is that less is always more. You can do "John Waters" but you would not want to live in his Pink Flamingo Trailer.
Really interesting tour of Palm Springs. Great history of each hotel also. Would be nice to see you do more exploration of the city, and the different points of interest.
I definitely plan to Dallas. Thanks for watching.
I saw the photos , on there website and it is stunning! But for a place called a motel , the prices lol. Maybe one day . Excellent video !
LOL, guess they figure if you can afford to pay for gas to get there the motel rate will seem cheap. :-) Thanks Charlie.
THANK YOU STEVE! This was exactly what I was hoping to see and learn about. The city of Palm Springs will hopefully see your videos and will help sponsor your channel.
Hi Troy, thanks for suggesting that I do this. Glad you enjoyed it. :-)
That place you asked about is Superbloom studios they are fashion designers and also are known for their abstract paintings which often mirrors their clothing and accessories. They are amazing creators of unique colorful hats and other items.
Thanks for sharing that with us David. I couldn't tell if the awesome artistic hats on the wall were art or fashion! I was hoping someone would know.

RUclips has snippets of some of the episodes and it really looks like a fun show.
👋 Steve great hotel i do watch Rue Paul lovely pink colour, seen photos on line!

Hello Steve! Thanks for the tour :) With all the premium channels, I heard of people rotating their subscriptions to be able to catch all the different shows they want to view.

Could ya show us Lucie Arnaz’s place , Steve? Thanks
I would love to, but I have no idea where in Palm Springs she lives. Plus, I wouldn't want to show the home of a celebrity who is still living. They usually don't want fans showing up at their doorsteps. :-O
Hey Steve loved the video I am glad ypu vlog the Trixie Motel i wanted to see what it looked like, the motel was nice and very pink and geogrous.
Glad you enjoyed seeing it Syreeta!
Go to the gateway estates neighborhood I'm sure they will love your company

The sixties looked so cool and all those hotel resorts. 🇺🇲

Likely every hotel in Palm Springs was owned by a celebrity.
You're probably right David. I think many own them, but don't publicize it.
The shop is an artist's studio. She sells beautiful stuff.
Thanks for sharing that Denise!
I would live in Palm Springs if i had the money
Surprisingly Palm Springs has some pretty affordable homes too.
@@theretiredlifewithsteve Yes your correct some are really cheap
Nice video thanks for the tour. If you opened a hotel I've got the perfect name. How about The Coffin ⚰️ Inn We are a Headstone above everyone else. 😀
LOL, I wouldn't be surprised if someone has already done, though probably not in PS. :-) I bet lots of people would be dying to check in. :-O
Hi Steve! I am more helpful for continuing good health!

I've actually been watching Trixie motel on discovery plus. For the renovation. I like those kind of shows.
I love those kinds of shows too. Hope it comes to one of the other channels soon, so I can watch it.
@@theretiredlifewithsteve I know you don't want to subscribe to another channel but it is only $4.99 a month if you change your mind.
Trixie MOTEL sounds rather "TACKY" 😳
Not if you love the whole 1960s, cool Palm Springs celebrity vibe, which millions of us do. And tacky and kitschy is part of the fun, lol. :-)
As you say, pink was a very popular color on buildings and looks good on certain Spanish Colonial Revival buildings. However, the Pepto-Bismol tinged pink is just too pink and garish. Maybe the sun in Palm Springs will tone it down over time.
Hi Ken, for me the brighter the better. I like garish and ktschy, but you are right, the sun here fades everything! :-)
@@theretiredlifewithsteve We will have to disagree. Plenty of correct "pink" painted buildings are abundant in Southern California as well as my native Florida.
