...Third Man. Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Prague will pick you up in a Mercedes S-class limo to start off its "Perfect Kiss" package. Once there, go upstairs to your room for an 80-min. couples' aromatherapy massage and later enjoy a candlelit evening turndown with flowers, champagne, finger food and chocolates. If you want to leave your upgraded room, the hotel will pack a gourmet picnic basket, or you can have afternoon tea at the hotel. Feel free to lounge, with a late 6 p.m. checkout. $920 per night. Through March...
...guitar. The fantasy only gets stranger when they leave the bedroom dressed in early medieval European outfits and start walking down the street with a unicorn. The video seems to return to reality (where unicorns do not exist) when McBrayer and Carey share a candlelit dinner. We all know where they’re going to end up after that, right? Wrong. Instead of touching her body as Mariah begs for in the song, the two end up playing with toy cars on top of the dining room table. They finish off their dream date with the scantily-clad Mariah...
Though not as romantic as a candlelit dinner for two, the Magnetic Fields’ concert at the Somerville Theater last Thursday was clearly a Valentine’s Day celebration of sorts, consisting of two impressive sets played to an audience filled with couples.

The most striking photograph in Robson's book shows the candlelit open-air restaurant of Collure's hotel sublimely canopied by a jumbo black boulder. Mok's Morley Road House (Singapore, 1996) blends ancient Chinese garden designs - a koi pond, bamboo hedges - with sharp Modernist forms while blurring inside/outside spatial distinctions. Just so, Bawa's naturally ventilated Ena de Silva House...
...were no such concerts to attend in Tehran because the mullahs frowned on music as un-Islamic. This summer there were concerts scheduled across the country, several of them including orchestras with female musicians. At least 3,000 people, among them many women in black chadors, mingled before the candlelit steps of the palace under a velvet sky. The country's preeminent poets and directors sat alongside government officials and their chador-clad wives, and gazing at the scene, you could be forgiven for imagining this was a society at peace with itself, run by men who appreciated the arts...
