Vous pouvez regarder le deuxième film de Sex and the City .... ici, il est interdit.......
Le plus bizarre dans cette histoire est que le film se "déroule" à Abu Dhabi........ Je mets des guillemets ici puisque les réalisateurs n'ont jamais eu l'autorisation de filmer a Abu Dhabi et que le tout a été tourné en réalité au Maroc. Même le Émirates Palace a été reconstitué pour la cause!
Déjà que je dois faire entrer "illégalement" des revues à potins non censurées (j'imagine qu'il existe ici une formation de "technicien en barbouillage" pour les douanes)..... En fait, les revues sont barbouillées avec un marqueur noir là ou les décolletés sont trop plongeants... là ou il y a trop de peau..... ce qui a pour effet de "scraper" toute la revue puisque ça tache les autres pages au passage.....
Bref, j'espère que vous irez le voir puisque semble t'il les scènes ou il y a des femmes voilées semblent bien démontrer la réalité des jeunes femmes d'ici! Coquettes, sexy, modernes, en pleine possession de leur moyen, chaussure Jimmy Choo et sacoche Gucci ...sous leur Abaya et leur voile (souvent intégral a Abu Dhabi, mais de type voile de mariée) couvert de milliers de cristaux Sarosky!
Dans un tout autre ordre d'idée, voici une photo prise exactement là ou nous vivons, en 1975.
Jumeirah beach before the daily rush hour

Rene Burri / Magnum Photos
In 1975, René Burri, one of the most celebrated photographers with the Magnum agency, visited a number of countries in the Middle East, including the UAE.
Burri, best known for his portraits of Che Guevara and Pablo Picasso, spent time with Sheikh Zayed in his majlis, but also took this photograph, which is captioned: “Road from Abu Dhabi to Dubai, 10 miles from Dubai.”
If correct, this would place it close to where Jumeirah Beach Hotel and Wild Wadi now stand. In the mid-1970s this stretch of beach was also home to the Chicago Beach Hotel, a resort popular with expatriates escaping the city, although it cannot be seen here.
Instead there is a row of what appear to be newer villas and a compound with a palm frond fence. The length of the shadows means this was taken in the late afternoon. The road itself appears to have been partially blocked by a sandstorm, with work already under way to clear it.
Given the closeness of the sea, this cannot be Sheikh Zayed Road, construction of which began in 1971. More likely this is Beach Road passing through what is now Umm Suqeim. Three decades later, the Mall of the Emirates would be built just a little farther inland.
Despite the late hour and the remoteness of the view, the scene is not entirely without life. Near the centre of the photograph, by the shoreline and almost invisible without a magnifying glass, is a group of figures on the beach, possibly by a fishing boat.
More easily seen is the row of animals making its way in the direction of Dubai along the side of the road. These seem to be camels, an echo of the time when four legs rather than four wheels was the only way to travel between the two cities.
