It's Date Night!

Another of those endless 'person above you' threads, though hopefully with a little more effort into the entries.

The idea is that you take the person above you on a dream date - hopefully yours, but, most importantly, theirs. Glean as much information as you can from their profile, their posts, their stories if they have them, and craft a really perfect date for them, from clothes and setting to food, drink...and everything after. Be as detailed as possible.

(No obligation to start with me, by the way - I'm not writing this for that! Feel free to begin with the second poster, should there be one.)

I'll play. We have done Paris, where to next?
 
I rather like the idea of St Petersburg - I've never seen The Hermitage, for example. And big fur hats and beautiful Russians in endless snow would be pleasant. But it's your decision as to details.

I could do snow-blankets and warm fires. Eventually I want to make it to an ice hotel as well, I think I would enjoy it there.

I know very little about St.Pete, please introduce me.
 
Well, we'd start with the Winter Palace - official residence of the Tsars, now reimagined into perhaps the world's most splendid museum and art gallery. An evening at the Mariinsky Theatre for the ballet, once home to Pavlova, Nijinsky, Nureyev, Baryshnikov and Balanchine.

A late supper at Taleon, and then hurrying back to the hotel through the snow in a carriage, to warm ourselves with a fine brandy by the huge fireplace, and then undressing slowly in the bedroom whilst running a huge bath.

Does that work for a first night?

I did read about the museum and something about a mummy, I would like to see that. Ballet, I have never seen, but I will be content to people watch, while your eyes roam the lovely ladies and men onstage. The restaurant looks beautiful, could we get a center table please?

Hotel and brandy...I will enjoy a taste from my favorite glass and no promises that we will make it to the bath.

I imagine people watching in St Petersburg would be rewarding indeed, with every man looking like Dr Zhivago and every woman like Anna Karenina. I shall ask the maitre d'h about the centre table - provided Putin doesn't want it, it's ours.

But a shame about the bath - are you planning to pass out on the floor after your brandy?

That was not plan A, but you know that.

A lovely date my sweet D, almost as lovely as our trip to Paris. Next week will be my treat, but be warned, I have simple tastes when it comes to fun.
 
I like simple, too. Nothing simpler than caviar and champagne.
 
a nice cabin in the woods with a nice fire and soft music, snuggle under a blanket, talking, playing the night away
