I am curious to finally see the fashions and interiors but so much that I feel like giving up two hours of my life just yet. I'm surprised at how much attention has been given to the fact that they shot the movie in Morocco for two months which was used as a stand in for Abu Dhabi. What would have been more interesting is if part of the film actually took place in Morocco and more specifically, in Tangiers, at the former home of Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé, seen here. It was decorated by the illustrious interior designer Jacques Grange and was for sale last year and might possibly still be available. I can't find any record of it being sold. Perhaps Carrie and the girls could have rented it while getting away from their lives in New York or used it as a pit stop on their way to visit Christian Louboutin on his houseboat on the Nile. Couldn't be any worse than them wearing harem pants in the desert and falling off camels. The house also happens to be named Villa Mabrouka which means House of Luck. Sounds like they could have used some. Enjoy!<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBxUb8mb4haCxWiTpO3RdYE_gNnpIaaoRJDzOkqnHBA3rhPP-Yn9YqSd4SvlXcFqb-k97UpJmVvFnjJWGhMYXNCqmh6agF0aLXi44gcpJ6FSCwpF2WaClSICKr7rfnmXoCUc_J5lYTbn3F/s1600/ysl+morocco+2.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477600579879558562" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBxUb8mb4haCxWiTpO3RdYE_gNnpIaaoRJDzOkqnHBA3rhPP-Yn9YqSd4SvlXcFqb-k97UpJmVvFnjJWGhMYXNCqmh6agF0aLXi44gcpJ6FSCwpF2WaClSICKr7rfnmXoCUc_J5lYTbn3F/s400/ysl+morocco+2.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;
