After looking at all Manner of Legends and strange things and beings this month and don’t forget the Key West thing for two day we’re going to look at some fantasy places for the average man and woman that is–or at least those of us with less of a major budget to buy anything we want.
Pictures today (mine at least) are Scotland and English Border country…….
And of course as usual we will start with Droughtlander Relief Fund of Ideas that is.
The interesting thing is how one guy, through living out his own fantasies, is living out the fantasies of so many other people. Hugh Hefner
I had daydreams and fantasies when I was growing up. I always wanted to live in a log cabin at the foot of a mountain. I would ride my horse to town and pick up provisions. Then return to the cabin, with a big open fire, a record player and peace. Linda McCartney

And I think a lot of us have fantasies of going back to where we’re from, or when we do go back we’re so nostalgic about it. Rosemarie DeWitt

- Today I’m looking at generalized person fantasies . When I googled fantasies I ended up with more sexual reference than anything else…Is it true that we spend our spare time dreaming about perversions we don’t have the balls (excuse me I couldn’t help it) or whatever to carry out—do we all have dreams of sexual fantasies where hot men–or women or both beat and terrorize us….It’s kind of disappointing if it’s true…we have been given all the talents and apposing thumbs to carry them out and we want silly—if handsome–men to beat us and take us to a fairy land of sexual adventure come true.
And if that’s your thing–or all manner of other sexual devation from the excepted norm….then fine…I have nothing against sex–just don’t give me any bruises, don’t tie, trip or tackle me….If I want that kind of activity I’ll take up martial arts, or boxing or something. I don’t want a black eye from my sex, a hicky occasionally is OK, if a bit juvenile but……
So today I’m looking at non-sexual fantasy areas—things and places that make us purr—or maybe save our money so we can afford it or whatever….so off we go.
Thank you… fantasy football draft, for letting me know that even in my fantasies, I am bad at sports. Jimmy Fallon
Yes that is bed, and no this isn’t about sex…Though what you do in it is up to you—though taking a few minutes watching the view wouldn’t be a bad thing.
That’s the Savoy in yeah London…..a lot of us have fantasies of living in the lap of luxury–going places where are smallest wishes are anticipated and catered to and of course we have all the pounds (in this case) or what ever currency to handle it.
Here’s what it says on their web site:
http://www.fairmont.com/savoy-london/accommodations/guest-rooms/
Children have a very good idea of how to distinguish between fantasies and realities. It’s just they are equally interested in exploring both. Alison Gopnik
Luxury King River View
These large luxurious rooms directly overlook the River Thames, offering unbeatable views across the East and West panorama and over to the vibrant South Bank. All rooms are decorated in elegant Edwardian style and retain much of their original character.
The marble bathrooms are generously proportioned with freestanding claw-foot tubs, separate walk-in showers with rainfall showerhead, and Le Labo amenities. I check out Le Labo in case you aren’t familiar and a 10 ml spray bottle of their perfume is $150.00
The Luxury King River View Rooms also feature a writing desk, armchair, Loewe (top German TV) flat-screen television, Ruark/Vita Audio iPod docking station, personal bar and custom-made Savoy furnishings.
Complimentary tea & coffee making facilities are available in room as standard and bottled water is provided at turn down. All guests have access to Beauty & Fitness with 24-hour gym.
My whole career has been fulfilling my childhood fantasies, playing characters that are larger than life, getting to play a knight, an elf, a prince, and a soldier. Orlando Bloom

But I think this one is better for my needs:
Royal Suite
I loved every place I lived and traveled. London, Paris, Rome, Venice. I fell hard for Central America and Mexico. In each country, I had fantasies that I could live there. Frances Mayes
It includes huge window overlooking the river and a fab view of London.
To quote the Savoy:
“Titans of industry, world leaders, and visiting royalty, will enjoy an apartment-like space that not only represents the height of luxury, but that also reflects the style of home they would choose to reside in themselves.”
Ok that should meet most of your fantasies….but just to be sure:
“the bedroom has been designed for true indulgence; on top of a stately four-poster lies a hand-sprung mattress, each of its springs wound with cashmere wool.”
OMG is that to die for—-cashmere on the springs…I’m sure that’s a great plus but I’m not use to wool around my spring—why?
“bathroom with deep Jacuzzi bathtub and invigorating steam shower.”
Well naturally I wouldn’t have expected anything less.
God forbid that women have fantasies. E. L. James
Now the shocker–it includes a kitchen….but before you start complaining that you aren’t planning on cooking let them explain
“The service kitchen is ideal for those travelling with a personal chef”
But in case you forgot to bring your:
“there is also a Savoy butler on hand 24-hours a day to cater exclusively to guests staying in The Royal Suite, combining the skills of a traditional private butler with the efficiency and knowledge of a modern day personal assistant.”
Yeah but can he cook?—I think that job category is outlawed in all US states with substantial Union representation.
Being an actress is to be in tune with the fantasies of a man. What woman never dreamt of that? Jeanne Moreau
but wait that ain’t all:
“Guests of The Royal Suite will have 24-hour access to their own dedicated Savoy Royal Entourage* to ensure all their needs are catered for in the lead-up to and during their stay at The Savoy. Personnel include a Savoy Butler, London concierge, chef and bartender, therapist, personal stylist/shopper, and hairdresser and make-up artist.” (but only the butler is included in the room rate..everything or one is extra).
If I had all this I wouldn’t have the need for a therapist–trust me.
Very much as men project weird fantasies on women, the people in New York project weird fantasies on California. Carolyn See
Oh and they can even have up to and including:
“facilitating anything from creating a unique London itinerary to arranging red carpet event preparations in-suite, and from devising bespoke menus and beverages to organising a private in-suite viewing of the latest fashion collection.”
and as if all that isn’t enough (and this is also included in room rate)
“Round-trip airport transfers.
• Chauffeur-driven Rolls Royce at their disposal during a stay, subject to availability.
• Exclusive use of the private Royal Circle in the American Bar.”
The suite is almost 3,500 Sq. foot but there is another room that can be added to it if that isn’t enough
“The gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge.” Albert Einstein
Oh and the cost—for the smallest room—a last minute check in, non-refundable etc only 401 pounds or $553.51.
oh and before I give the price take a tour of the Royal Suite with it’s butler:

But it was hard finding a cost—finally did in the Daily Mail–at 7,200 pounds ($9,436) but that was in 2014 so one must consume it’s a bit more than that now—and that my dear to me can be nothing but a fantasy. P.S. That cost is for one (1) night.
Fantasies are more than substitutes for unpleasant reality; they are also dress rehearsals, plans. All acts performed in the world begin in the imagination. Barbara Grizzuti Harrison
“Abandon the search for truth, settle for a good fantasy.” Unknown
“If your sexual fantasies were truly interesting to others, they would not be fantasies.” Frantz Lebowitz
