Trivia: During the scenes in the department store, they were filming at the real Barneys. Also, the blindfold that Charlotte is wearing is from Burberry. The show asked if they had Burberry blindfolds, and they didn't make them at that time. But they then tailor-made a Burberry blindfold, just for Charlotte to use in these scenes. (00:18:25)
Trivia: This scene was actually filmed in the fragrance department of Takashimaya, which is a real location in New York City. (00:04:45)
Trivia: A lot of the artwork seen in Aleksandr's home set really belonged to Mikhail Baryshnikov from his own home. He told Sex and the city 'Let's make it authentic, come and get my artwork'. (00:11:15)
Trivia: According to the commentary, there are a lot of mirror reflections used in this episode. Mirrors become elevator doors, hallways, etc. They were all about reflecting back where each of the girls are, at this point in their lives. (00:20:25)
Trivia: When Carrie wakes up at Aleksandr's house, she finds a card with a note from him in bed. The little face on this card was actually drawn by Mikhail Baryshnikov himself. (00:12:30)
Answer: I'm a long-time fan of the show, having re-watched it many times, and I definitely remember slightly different dialogue at the end of that episode than what's on my DVD. I'm afraid I have no idea why this change might have been made or any other info, but you're not insane.
