I think this is about as close to Xanadu as it's gonna get ...
On my own, with all of my falls.

In Xanadu did Kubla Kahn
a stately pleasure-dome decree:
where Alph, the sacred river, ran
through caverns measureless to man
down to a sunless sea.
So twice five miles of fertile ground
with walls and towers were girdled round:
And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills,
where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree;
And here were forests ancient as the hills,
enfolding sunny spots of greenery.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Jack Bunny is the alter ego of a playwright, theatrical director, and drama critic. If you are at a party and see a 150 pound rabbit at the punch bowl, it might be him!
(On the other hand, it might also mean that perhaps you should step away from the punch bowl for awhile.)

"Pay No Attention To That Man Behind The Curtain ..."
Our revels now are ended.
These, our actors, as I foretold you, were all spirits, and are melted into air, into thin air:
And like the baseless fabric of this vision, the cloud-capp'd tow'rs, the gorgeous palaces, the solemn temples, the great globe itself, yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve, and, like this insubstantial pageant faded, leave not a rack behind.
We are such stuff as dreams are made on; and our little life is rounded with a sleep.

What is a Parade of Homes?
WHo's the beautiful redhead in the tropical patio photo?
JEO
The Parade of Homes is a series of homes built to showcase speciial features - unusually spacious bedrooms, theatre rooms, etc, and then furnished by the best designers available. The idea is to see the best of the best in (hopefully) tasteful and stylish living. (And for once each year it's a great marketing tool.)
Ah, like our Ideal Home Exhibition. That's fun, I loved going round that one year. So did you get inspiration?
