Tears and Cosmos will be spilling all over my apartment on Sunday night, when I'll be hosting a "Sex and the City" finale party. Apparently, women across the five boroughs - not to mention the 50 states - are getting together for similar soirees. In fact, according to today's NY Daily News:
Devotees of the wildly popular series are throwing extravagant finale parties that would do Carrie and her glitzy gal pals proud.
They'll nosh on decadent hors d'oeuvres and cry in their Cosmos to mark the end of a series that has symbolized Manhattan single life ever since the days when Moomba was hot.
"Guys have the Super Bowl, we have this," said Melissa Goldstein, 34, who will play host to about 20 single women at her upper West Side brownstone for Sunday night's finale on HBO.
Women will be glued to their TVs to see whether heroine Carrie Bradshaw chooses to live in Paris with her lover or in New York with her friends. Goldstein is offering her guests their own choice: baguettes and wine or bagels and New York pizza.
My gameplan: Pitchers of Cosmos at the ready. I'm also going to offer up a serious cheese platter with fig jam and crackers, as well as olives and slices of Lyonnaise sausage. For those minding their figures - if not their carbs - I'll also have a crudite platter with baba ganoush on hand. And, for something sweet, I'll be whipping up Maida Heatter's "Top Secret" dessert dipping sauce with fresh fruit.
My one requirement: That all the ladies invited wear their most special shoes, in honor of Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda.
Needless to say, in addition to the food and cocktails, a box of tissues will take centerstage at the table. But, with each tear, we'll know that this might not be the end at all. In fact, there are rumors circulating that the fab four might be kicking up their Manolos again - on the big screen. I feel a premiere party coming on...Think the Ziegfeld will let us bring cocktails into the theater?
