Alex, I certainly hope you come back for another season. The show would not be the same without you or Simon. You are both such nice, sweet people and I really find your clothes choices edgy and interesting. Don't always have to talk bad about people like some of the others. Also, loved when Simon got a little choked up at Ramona's vow renewals. Hope you and the chums have an awesome summer!

Alex, I owe you a huge apology, a season or two ago I was on the hate on Alex and Simon band wagon. However, I was so wrong in everything I thought. You are one of the kindest, most genuine people and I have seen so many more dimensions of your personality in this season. I have to say Kudo's to you for being brave enough to speak to Jill. You have just blown my mind with how much you've grown. It's not easy to do something like that and I commend you. I think you've always been a sweet and likeable person but it's showing so much more in this season. It's like in season one you were painted as this person who seeked out wealthy friendships to remain in a high end circle of people. Now I feel like you've attained a status of your own and you aren't using that to become less likeable, you are actually shedding some of your "perfection" and becoming real. I love it! Thank you.

see you on twitter Alex. have a great summer

Alex......thank you for nearly single-handedly holding together this season with your astute observations and calm assesments of the insane situations [not to mention your wonderful facial expressions!]. peppered with ramonas 'renewed "enthusiasm"' and bethenny's hysterical one-liners there were wonderful LOL moments worth watching.

i cringe when i read the blog comments of those who threaten not to watch if kook-a-do-kelly returns. it worrys me that Bravo either exploits mental illness OR encourages it's pretense [if there is any stretch that kelly is just acting]. EEK...

please encourage Bravo to film a fun show minus the 'gooney-gummi bear', or see if you and simon could get your own show.

Hi Alex,

Love, love, love watching you on the show! It's been so refreshing to watch the friendship develop between you, Ramona, Bethenny and Sonja. Nice to see a group of ladies that are caring and fun with each other. I do hope that we get to see more of Simon next season - - he is so fun to watch!

Love watching the show I think you and Simon are great. Good luck with the up coming seasons and hope you and your boys have a great summer

Enjoyed your blog, as always! Thanks for sharing with us!

Lovely. This season and the new, deeper, REAL friendships that evolved was delightful and a breath of fresh air that was long over due for ALL of the RHs in each city. Woman? Such bitter catty-ness! So unbecoming.

Great to see you've managed to get through another year with your three chums - great to see YOU evolve on the show, and as a person.

Love to all on the 4th of July holiday!

Sweet classy Alex. Best wishes to you and your family and have a great summer. cant wait for next season. And keep it real sista, know what I'm sayin?????

I loved watching this season of RHONY. Alex, you came to life this season with opinions and attitude that made you so real and fun to watch. It is great that you and Bethenny and Ramona could rise above the meanness (childishness) of others. I wish you all the best in your future endeavours!

I always watch the Housewives.............. I have to say that Alex is my favorite housewife. She is not self centered like Jill, not interferring like The "Countess", not mental like Kelly. I like Bethany andRaomona sloa, but Alex has been my favorite since I began watching.

You became my favorite this season! I love Simon as well and ur beautiful kids! Don't change!

I have really enjoyed watching you this season. The assertiveness that you showed was fun to watch. I gained a new admiration for you when you stood by Bethenny when she really needed a good friend. BRAVO!!! I am looking forward to seeing you next season!

HI ALEX,

WE'RE MISSING YOU!

THE SECENE WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE ANY MAKEUP...YOU LOOKED BEUTIFUL. YOU ALSO LOOKED GREAT IN THE DRESSES YOU MODELED.

HAVE A GREAT SUMMER

Alex, you were SO GREAT to watch this season... people get really attracted to "real" turmoil and "real" change... even on a REALITY SHOW!!!

You've made us all laugh, cry and get mad right along with you. You made us all proud and feel strong (at least I did!).

Have a GREAT summer and time off w/Simon and the boys (I KNOW there's no such thing as "time-off") I just meant w/the show!

FANTASTIC JOB!!!! (You too, Simon!)

I hope you have a happy summer. I look forward to seeing you in the fall. Will you have another Brooklyn Fashion Show? I thought you had a great beginning. Don't invite Jill back. We don't need her nasty comments. I think Sonja would be a great model. You and Ramona just need to relax and you two will be terrific. Keep smiling!!!!

Alex I have to tell you how much I enjoyed you this season. I am looking forward to seeing you and Simon on BGM. It is such a fun show to watch (not like the drama on HWNYC). Read your book and loved it, I am so happy for your success.

Alex, I'll miss you over the summer! Be sure to continue blogging on your own site--you're such a great writer!

Alex-you're my fave. Can't wait to see you next year.

if you look up the article where kelly is asked for parenting advice, it is exactly as kelly related on the reunion show. you owe her an apology.

We love you Alex. Hope to see more of you.

I'm missing the RHWNY already. I enjoyed you more this season because you became more assertive and were still the elegant lady you always were. I saw you in person and even my husband commented you are much more beautiful in person.

Enjoy your summer.

Alex, while I think the RHONYC went a little crazy this past season, I still think all of you are still the best and classiest of the bunch.Just let Bethenny fight her own battles.Jill went off the deep end, but I do think she's sorry.I just wish you and Jill would mend fences and try to be courteous to one another.Kelly absolutely needs help, therapy is a must.Sonja is a wise woman when she's not talking about sex. LuAnn seems happy and if Jacques is the reason I say Good For Her!And Ramona...I do think she's renewing herself and nobody dances like Ramona.I wish you and Simon a lovely summer and hope you and your boys have a lot of good times.They grow so fast, so enjoy them....

I missed all June for moved here in UK. The internet can't show the epsodes and reunion shows for the location. But I read blogs to catch up. You know that I am a true fan of yours and Ramona and Betteny, and Sonya. Everybody working so hard for living. I guess I am a fortunet one or not wanting things much. I must thank to my hudsband working so hard. I agree 100% with you about Jill. Insulting others is not funny. But it might be the culture thing, because of their history. They all love strong jokes. Either way, someone must let her know that it is not a OK in the society.

Alex and Simon, I admit I wasn't sure about you two the first season. I though you two came across as pretentious and as Manhattan social climbers (maybe it was the editing also). This season I like both of you much more. You obviously have a happy marriage (are some of the other women jealous?) and adore your two sons.

I like that you have become more "spunky," Alex.You are saying what you think, but not being "snarky." While the other "housewives" have become more and more jealous and critical of each other (and taken "sides"), you and Simon have maintained your dignity while staying true to yourselves.

Perhaps you should have spoken to Jill privately regarding Bethenny and your issues with Jill; however, I guess it was time to finally say what you honestly thought and felt, even around others and on camera to go "on record." After all, the others had said many negative things about you two publicly.

BTW, I think it is great that your children are learning a second language. As someone who has worked in the public education system for many years, it is very important for children to learn another language in our constantly emerging world economy. Little children learn another language so much more easily when they are young.

i loved the heavy long, purple sparkle dress you were modeling on the runway, how can i find a picture of this dress? thank you!

Alex,

You are absolutely one of my favorites. You have class and you and your family are one of the best parts of the show. Jill is so transparent and not particularly interesting. You have an interesting life. Hope Bravo keeps you - lose Kelly - she's just too nutty to be relevant about anything.

I really loved you this year!!! I think many of us are so much like you it is nice to have someone on who has young children, works and tries to have it all with a few bumps in the road. That's what life is all about and you put the real in reality t.v. for once instead of it all seeming so fake. I for one can relate to you and look up to another mother working hard instead of getting rich off of hubby. You and Sonja have class. If it were me I would have mentioned Jill's shopping trip with hubby. Oy vay. She should be embarassed.

ALEX,

PLEASE PLEASE.....TELL US YOU ARE COMING BACK WITH SIMON AND THE BABIES!

DOESN'T THE SHOW START FILMING AROUND LABOR DAY? IT'S ALMOST JULY 4TH, AND WE NEED TO KNOW YOU ARE COMING BACK. I REALLY WATCHED MOST OF THE LAST HALF OF LAST SEASON BECAUSE OF YOU.

ANDY, ARE YOU OUT THERE???? GET HER TO SIGN THE CONTRACT.......WE LOVE ALEX.

SUSAN

Great Blog! I am so glad to know the book and other things are going so well for you.

Can't wait to see more from the McCord-van Kempen camp and will follow you on Facebook. Hope your summer is a good one!

Have a great summer Alex!! You and your family are jewels! I so enjoyed you this season and happy that you found your voice. It seems you, Bettheny, Sonja, and Ramona stayed above the madness and did it with style this season.I do think the more Jill and Kelly acted out the more LuAnn pulled in her reins of compassion and listening skills. She atleast listened toward the end to others instead of just blurting out her opinions. Looking forward to next season and hope you all stay well. Take care of you and yours.

I have grown to really love Alex and Simon. They may be a little out there or maybe try too hard to fit in sometimes, but they really love eachother and it shows. They accept eachother for who they are and do their own thing without trying to take anyone else down or hurt them, unlike some other Housewives. They bring another vibe and viewpoint to the show and I hope to see them back next season. Go Silex!

Alex I must say that I always respected you for the class you showed in each season. I think it's important to find your voice and learn who you are. However, this last season you looked more like a monster and bully more than you did a woman with a voice. Be true and tell it how it is but don't become "that girl".

I liked you so much better this season!!! In previous seasons you came across as a transparent social climber... this season we got to see the real Alex... I like her best... Keep up the good work on the show

Alex I thought you did great at the fashion show, the dress was heavy, sure, but you pulled it off. Let's remember, you don't do that all the time, therefore, there has to be some nervous energy going into it, and put that with a heavy dress and I can only imagine. I have to comment that you have a very fashionable back. That of course meaning that you seem to pull off wearing the low back fashions, which not everyone can pull off. I suppose it is the elongated contour of the back which makes it sell the dress. This is definitely your strong point when modeling. I noticed it in one of the other seasons when you were buying clothes. Let the dress hit below the natural curve of your lowback and it is fab! This is why designers make the dresses like that, but sadly a lot of women can't carry it off. Good luck with your endeavors for this year, we hope to see more of Simon next year, no not in speedo's, but just being who he is, I think viewers this year were geared up to see him and didn't get it. Stay cool in NY.

So happy you wrote this blog. I enjoyed you all season. You appear to be the sane one LOL....I mean that in a good way. Have a great summer and enjoy your wonderful family. See you for season 4.

LOVE YOU ALEX AND SIMON AND YOUR SONS YOUR GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!! KEEEP UP THE GOOD WORK ALEX

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY SIMON AND ALEX AND CHUMS !!!!!! I HOPE YOU GUYS HAVE A GREAT SUMMER ALSO, AND I ( VICKI ) WILL CERTAINLY MISS THE EPISODE'S. I HAD WRITTEN YOU BEFORE, TO SEE WHO MOST OF YOUR FASHION'S WERE FROM, SO WERE THEY ALL FROM " ALEGRA?" OR JUST A CHOSEN FEW?

I HAVE TO TELL YOU, THAT YOU AND SIMON ARE SUCH AN INSPIRATION TO ALL MARRIED COUPLES. I REALLY WISH YOU WOULD WRITE A MARRIAGE OR FUNNY COUPLE TYPE BOOK FOR ALL COUPLES WHO HAVE HAPPY MARRIAGES OR NEED SOME HELP! I REQUESTED THIS FROM SIMON ON FACEBOOK, BUT DID NOT GET A REPLY. I KNOW HE IS BUSY. LOL. IT WOULD BE GREAT IF YOU COULD ADD IN YOUR " BEAUTY " AND FASHION SENSE TIPS, AND WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED IN THE YEARS ON "RHONY." AND MAYBE WHERE TO FIND SOME OF YOUR MOST FAVORITE PIECES OF CLOTHING AND HAND-BAGS AND SHOES. OR THE " VIEWERS FAVORITES." I KNOW I WOULD LOVE IT, AND BUY IT, JUST LIKE I DID YOUR OTHER BOOK. OK, HAVE A RESTFUL SUMMER,A PEACEFUL SUMMER, AND JUST ENJOY YOUR BEAUTIFUL CHUMS. THEY ARE ONLY LITTLE FOR A SHORT WHILE. LOVE YOU GUYS.

Alex, So glad you stuck it out this season.... you really blossomed!!! You are one of the most interesting and genuine housewives and truly offer a touch of realism to the show. Looking forward to seeing you next season!

I want to start off by saying HAPPY 10th ANNIVERSARY to you, Alex and Simon. If all the couples could be like the both of you and your beautiful children the world would be paradise. Alex you are so beautiful with charming, poise and the most important you have commonsense and manners. Simon is always by your side. He is a true gentleman which is just about unheard of in our society. I wish you many more happy years together.

Alex, you, Simon and the chums need to come to Atlanta for your book tour. I have liked and "got" you all from season 1, thankyouverymuch, and would love to see you guys here.

Enjoy your summer!

Let's get rid of the hate on this show.

Just saw Bethenny,s bridal shower on episode of BGM. Saw you mention that yours and Simon's anniversary is May 28th. We just celebrated 27 years of marriage, also May 28th. Hope you and Simon can get there, too. Love your new attitude on NY housewives, I also have gotten more outspoken as years have gone by. It works, better to let others get upset, than to let it stew and upset you. More fun, also.

And the award for the best housewife goes to..... Alex. Your refreshing.

Please give up the dramatics when it comes to Jill. Strong, independent women are not shaken by such sophmoric antics. I know it's old news, but traipsing up to Jill in the presence of a large group to deliver Bethanny's message is the epitome of mean high school behavior. Best to practice what you preach and start to live up to the potential I know you have to be one of the more entertaining housewives.

Alex,

I really enjoyed you and Simon this year. You really were a great friend to Bethenny and Jill is a mean girl this year, not sure why she was, yet you were really nice to watch, sharing your time with Ramona, Bethenny and Sonja, you were all great together.

Take care and have a great summer, I hope that we see you next season. Love You!!!!

Hi Alex, we enjoy reading your blogs. You are our favorite housewife. Your wonderful and genuine personality shines through.You can teach so many of us about what truly matters in life. You are a great role model. Looking forward to seeing you next season. All the best to you and your family.

Love you Alex!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Loved the blog Alex-nice to read an update from you!

Alex,

I was truly proud that you stood up to attacks on the Reunion Show. I think you handled yourself with dignity. I admire you. I do have a tiny concern so I'm going to ask you about it. I know you and Simon appreciate status and you work hard on building a certain reputation for yourselves. Please tell me you are not as empty hearted as Jill. Tell me you don't use people. Tell me you appreciated all people and offer everyone respect regardless of their "status". I like you and hope to see you on the show as long as it runs. I hope you are the good, caring person you seem to be.

Cyn
