Love Morocco - absolutely love it. Love the people, the food, the friendliness of strangers who will spend hours with you drinking tea.
Do not love Moroccan Bathrooms* (I'm looking at you, Apartment Therapy), so-called Moroccan interiors that are really in a McMansion, and the calling of anything slightly exotic looking Moroccan.

After reconsidering my *ahem*, let's say, slightly snarky comment, I'd like to say that your post is lovely. I in no way want to discourage you from being creative, positive, and getting down with your bad self online.
I just had a rant attack. It happens if I haven't had enough coffee, and if my cat keeps trying to wake me up at 5:30 a.m. on a Sunday morning.
And complaining (as one odd poster on AT did fairly recently) that the strong Moroccan spices are making your house smell too much like food... this is a bad thing because?
Cool stuff that is very authentically Moroccan:
These men's leather slippers (although yellow is better): http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=40780668&ref=sr_list_33&&ga_search_query=Moroccan&ga_search_type=vintage&ga_page=2&includes[]=tags&includes[]=title
This set of six (tea, not shot) glasses: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=20110500&ref=sr_list_2&&ga_search_query=Moroccan&ga_search_type=vintage&ga_page=4&includes[]=tags&includes[]=title
Or this gorgeous caftan which is, sadly, made for a man: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=29168514&ref=sr_list_22&&ga_search_query=Moroccan&ga_search_type=vintage&ga_page=2&includes[]=tags&includes[]=title
That concludes my favorite part of being in Morocco - the shopping!

Dude, you've earned the right to comment on Morocco. No worries! (sniff sniff)
