Got an invitation to a political fundraiser that is going with a " Sex and the City " theme.
For just $250, you can be " Mr. Big ." $50 buys you a "Carrie."
Here's the invite:
And this is the text that accompanied the invitation:
We're only a weeks away from the Big announcement...
Yes, Mr. Big is back, as are our on-screen fashion icons Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte.
One day before the "Sex and the City" extravaganza begins, let's raise our cosmos and toast the girls, the dates, and the great city they will frolic in and shop throughout once again.
I'll be hosting a pre-party fundraiser on Thursday, May 29th at XES Lounge, complete with cosmopolitan specials, and some of our favorite episodes on screen.
Much as Carrie mused in a favorite episode about her love of New York City, I want to celebrate how far this wonderful city has come over the last six years. This is a city of opportunity, not just for our girls on screen, but all of us.
So as we gather to toast we also can discuss where our city stands now, and what we need to do to achieve greater success.
Much like our beloved Carrie, I believe in the future of our city, and that inspired, dedicated, and focused leaders can - and will make a difference. That's why I'm planning a run for office - and would love your support.
Please join me at an "Alfonso and the City" event at XES Lounge at 157 West 24th Street (between 6th and 7th Avenues ) on Thursday, May 29 from 6:30 to 8:30 PM.
You can RSVP to me at friendsofalfonso@yahoo.com or to Nelly at (347) 472-2522. I've attached a contribution card (if you could fill it out in advance, that would help tremendously).
Please make personal checks payable to: Friends of Alfonso Quiroz. You can bring them to the event, or mail in advance to:
Friends of Alfonso Quiroz
75-22 37th Avenue, Box #58, Jackson Heights, NY 11372
Thanks again and I hope to see you on May 29th for a good time. I leave you with Carrie's words in a poignant episode dedicated to the City of New York: "After all, seasons change. So do cities. People come in to your life and people go. But it's comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart."
Alfonso Quiroz

Never was much of a fan ... of that show.
Alfonso, on the other hand, is a rising star in City politics. (While he hasn't formally announced, word is that he is running for City Council or District Leader out in Queens.)
Will there big a "big reveal" on May 29?
