Alex,
I still can not believe that I have become such a fan of a t.v. show, let alone a reality show. You have 2 lovely sons, and you and simon seem to really enjoy life together. I have a wonderful three year old daughter, but not a husband to share everything with seeing your family, well I want someone to share it all with too. Have a wonderful summer.

((Alex)) KUDOS to you for your poise and grace on the final reunion shows. As with the rest of the season you were kind and gracious. You do not have to apologize for having a loving husband, normal active children, or any other part of your life, home and career. I was glad to see that you did not apologize or buckle under to the socialista pressures. I adore all the women on the show for different reasons with the exception of Kelly and she is just to far out there for me. Best of luck to you and your family, look forward to seeing you on next year.

ALEX YOU TRULY ARE THE EPITOMY OF WOMAN, THROUGH ALL THAT B.S. YOU HAVE ALWAYS MANAGED TO REMAIN POISED AND COMPOSED. THE COMMENT'S ON YOUR FAMILY ARE UNWARENTED. I SEE JEALOUSY AND REGRET THAT SOME OF THOSE WOMEN DON'T HAVE WHAT YOU HAVE. AND WHAT YOU HAVE MY DEAR IS ALL , YOU HAVE IT ALL. YOU STAY TRUE TO WHO YOU ARE , AND REAR YOURHEAD TO THE SNAKES ON THE SHOW....

You write very well. I like getting to know you as an individual in your blog... very gracious.

Alex and Simon and the Boys! You are the real family!
I love the way that you and Simon adore one another! That is what marriage should be! I think you have gotten a bum rap. Alex you have so much class. You maintain your composure during absolute chaos. Which is what a lot of wives and mothers face everyday! You have Grace under pressure, I think the Countess needs to learn a thing or two from you! I could have punched Ramona in the nose for ridiculing you for saying that you had a horrendous week without Simon, so you sat on the couch and had a cocktail instead of going out and socializing. She does not have the capacity to understand that everyone does not live as she does and maybe to others her life isn't so wonderful. She lacks empathy.
You have been accused of being a social climber and not real by Ramona and others. Is is so wrong to try to better ourselves, or our situation? I think the others feel that they have "arrived", but really they just feel intimidated by you.
I think Simon is hilarious! The boys are adorable and rambunctious, just as boys should be! Relax more Alex, you deserve it! Don't feel guilty about going to the spa! Your a role model for many of us.

I really enjoyed watching you and simon. I like how you handle yourselves when confronted and I think you two are very gracious.

I just wanna say, you are a very classy lady. I'm glad you stick up for yourself for whatever comes at you. Those girls can get catty. I enjoyed watching you on the show. Simon he is a character he seems to be different. I bet he keeps the laughter in the home going.

WTF with your HUSBAND lifting your dress twice for all the world to see? That is just too freaking weird. If my husband did that to me... well, he never would, because that is what a Normal husband WOULD NOT do.

Alex, you are all right. It took me all season to get there, but you write well, act pretty classy, actually, and seem honest. It's that skeevy, creepy weirdo husband of yours that I don't like. Is he really the best you could have done??

You guys are great! Everybody can see you guys aren't the run on the mill people. Who whats that anyway. Yall seem to be nice, honest, and care people. To take the grap that gets dish out to you guys and not just go off is a real view as to what kind of people you guys are. Alex good luck with the new job. Good luck with the house(God bless you, with two small kids too) I'm looking forward to next season.
Joy

Alex, I ended up loving you the most (along with Bethenny). Alex, you are so refined, elegant, articulate, and quietly explode with class. (not knocking Bethenny. LuAnne, or Jill: Love them also). Fortunately, I see a lot of my husband in Simon. But those red pants have to go; ironically, I threw out my husbands red sweat pants a few years ago because it was a funny thing in our circle. But fashion is an extension of one's own opinion and you can't please all the people all the time... Anyway, you are genuine, beautiful, a great mom. Love you, your family the hell with those cast members who breed evil and insecurity (Kelly and Ramona only). Don't change. Your marriage is what everyone wants.

I am sittinh here watching the reunion and it came to me you said that you've taught your boys to not say rude things and I realized through all of the hurtful comments and things that have been done to u and simon I can't remember a cruel or hurtful thing coming out of either of your mouths. There is really something to be said for that, that is true character. Bravo for being above what we found so easy to do...

Alex, you’re a great writer! Everything you compose, whether here, or on the Huffington Post is always precise, well laid out, flows smoothly, and is fun and ‘right on. I admire that, and continue to search out everything I can find that you write. I enjoy your honesty, your relaxed way of looking at things, and I think you have a really wonderful sense of honor and priorities.

We here in Hawaii say Mahalo. YOU GO GIRL………

Dear Alex and Simon...........

I absolutely adore both of you. Besides Bethenny, you two are the reason I watch the sgow.

Alex - you are smart, kind, level headed and a pleasure to watch. I was so angry last season when you were criticized. You are your own woman and totally real.

Simon - god bless you. You are a devoted family man and my better half could take some lessons from you.

Best wishes to the two of you and I cannot wait til next seaon. Take care!!!!!!!!!

I think you are the best housewife by far! I admit I didn't care for you and Simon in the first season, but in true Tortoise-and-the-Hare fashion, you have demonstrated that you are THE real housewife with class and character! Plus, your blog indicates you are the only true writer/journalist of the bunch. Lots of luck, Alex!!!!

Hi Alex:::I have to admit, when the show first aired, I couldn't stand to watch you and your husband, but as time goes on, you have become, aside from Betheny my favorites to watch.

You seem to be a good person inside and always balance out the crazy thing's that is said to you and your husband. As always, I love your style, you are always beautiful and classy.

Look forward to the re-union and to the next season.

Alex,
I am so sad that the season is over. I am originally from New York and lived in Manhattan for many years. I started watching so that I could enjoy New York places and events. I lived in Brooklyn for a few years and it is great. I just had to write a note and say that I love watching the episodes with you and Simon. Despite any criticism that you may have received, you two are so great together.

Your children are beautiful, and you two are terrific.

I've said it before and I'll say it again-Alex is my most favorite. She is truly classy and I would love to know her. She's a great listener and I can tell she would be a great friend. See you all next season. Love the show.

Alex:

I have never responded to a blog before, but felt I needed to. Your show is my guilty pleasure. Last season, I did not care for you and Simon. This season, I watched because of you. While Bethanny and Jill seem to define a new yorker (and I love it!), you and Simon define sanity. I think more people actually relate to you more than want to admit. I will have to say that your boys are out of control at times, but again, I can relate because I too am a mom to boys and they are a different breed!

Despite his odd sense of style, your husband seems to be a wonderful father and husband. You are blessed by the love he shows.

Good luck in the future.

Alex, you and Simon were rat this season. Everyone else seems to have lost their mind. Well, not everyone just Ramona. What is wrong with that lady. She is not a happy lady! Her intent was mean and to be hurtful and to create problems. Bethany is great! I wish you so much success..
LuAnn or may I say the Countess. You have been also fun to watch. I enjoy watching you and your time with your daughter. Jill you are so much fun to watch and your husband
is awesome. He seems to be a very sweet and loving person. I especially like how he asked you as a gentlemen if he should say something to Mario. Mario is a moron, he is the one seeking his 5 minutes of fame. Him and Ramona need therapy...Well, that is all for now. I hope you all come back. Oh, I almost forgot Kelly..She is in the show also..I'm sorry I forgot you. You see I'm up here and you are down there so I couldn't see you. bye

Dear Alex and Simon:
I just think both of you are precious. I told my husband he needed to watch, because you and Simon are so incredibly nice to EVERYONE. You listen, you reach out, you measure your comments carefully, you are dignified and I just love to hear both of speak, especially when debating a topic. I love also the control in your life, meaning the preciseness (is that a word?)of your actions. I find it reassuring and calming to watch. Take care! Hope to see more of you next seasion! All the best!

Alex, I honestly changed my opinion about you and your husband-but in a good way. Last season, I thought, that both of you are trying so hard to be noticed. This season, you earned my respect!!!!!!!! I see now, that you are the only couple on the show, that actually -“ Real House Wife”. You work full time, have two kids and at the same time trying to be on the show... The only thing I would recommend to you, is to teach your little ones to behave better in public. Over all, I wish you well in future.

You and Simon are such good sports.. and so patient. You didn't show anger at the negatives and you didn't attack anyone or ridicule. The two of you do your own thing, as you are smart enough to see through the superficial lives of the rest. You are both confident in your ways and your family life and stick together to support each other. Keep being yourselves.. forget the outside (clothes, money, keeping up with the NYC social scene), and just continue to look and be yourselves.. Your kids will grow up in a heartbeat and then, you can spend the money on parties, clothes, art, whatever... In the end, who cares who has the "most toys"????

Alex & Simon,
Loved you both this season. Much more than I did last season. Your love and adoration for each other is inspiring. It's so interesting to see how well that you two get along and make family your priority. Simon took a beating this year but he doesn't let any of that b-s to heart and rises above the cattiness that especially Ramona dishes out. Your renovation turned out incredible and showed both of your quirky style but in a classy and retro way. Way to go. Hope you're enjoying your new digs. Good job staying above the drama this year, Alex. You're a class act!

Hi Alex! I've enjoyed watching you and your family these past two seasons. I enjoy the relationship you and Simon have and all the sweet things he says. Just one little idea.It is time to start teaching your sons how to behave in public. I know that they are small boys but if you are going to bring them to the places they go they need to behave.Good manners are as important as French lessons and they should be learned at an early age too.

I liked you both last season, because I thought you both really loved each other and were a union. You WERE arrivistes, but that's your thing. I felt that even though I liked you, if I were on the street at an art fair and bumped into you, you'd look down on me or people like me. Since that's not likely to happen...

I like you as characters again this season. Behind all the folderol, you two have healthy personalities and breezy but respectful outlooks.

But don't write a self-help parenting book! Try: "Here's a collection of Francois and Johann stories, what we learned and appreciate, and can't you just relate to this?"

I just wanted to say that watching the show that Alex carried herself in the best way. She wasn't petty despite others trying to bring her and her husband down and I appreciated that. Alex is the closest to being the person that I would consider a good friend.

Hi, Alex!

I think the logo you made for Bethenny is much better than the one she ended up choosing. Also, I think you and Simon are the most mature people on the show, behaviorally speaking: you rose above the pettiness of the others, didn't let their insults bother you and lived your life for yourselves, not others. Your relationship with Simon is amazing and something others should aspire to: you allow each other be who you really are, are very loving and respectful of each other and it's obvious that you two truly enjoy each other's company. What else? Oh, your blogs are very witty, like Bethenny's, but much nicer. Thanks for not turning them into infomercials like all the others have done.

You and Simon were great this season, your family has so grown on me. Simon is now one of my favorites, last year, perhaps with the editing, he made my skin crawl. But ya'll were great, especially you, you never get trashy like some of them, and I wish I had a crazy husband who loved me like Simon loves you. Bravo.

Alex i think you and Simmon need your own show! The show wouldn't be the same with out you guys!

Alex

You and your husband have become my favorites. Class, great love for each other and your life. Can't wait til next season.

I find it very nice to see that you and Simon get along so well. I think you guys have a wonderful bond. I understand your marriage and I think it's great. Don't mind Ramona or anyone else who thinks otherwise. You and Simon are unique and I truely admire that.

Alex , I think you are so awesome, I just love how confident you are and how you just keep smiling through the fray with your simon and your lovely misbehaving children smile............. Dont let the haters (Ramona) get to you you are way above her in every way, and you are skinnier Ha Habhtersav

Alex,
I don't think you give a rats a$$ what any of the other housewives think of you and Simon. And that is why you're my favorite. You guys seem to be very happy doing what you do. I thought it was funny the way Kelly questioned the location of your flat in proximity to NYC! She was doing to you what Louann did to her when she came out to visit her flat for the luncheon with her kids and the young chef! The other housewives complained you and Simon were pretentious, but I think it was the pot calling the kettle black!
Hope you're both back next season

Alex, I really enjoy you and Simon, he is so attentive to you. I like the way he goes shopping with you, and knows what will look good on you. Kelly and Romona are such phony's, they both need to come down a few feet, they are suffering from the Me, Me, Me. syndrome. love what you did to your home.

Alex, after two years, you and Simon have come out as my two very favorite people on the show. You are the only two who never show a mean spirited moment.

Simon just plain has heart. Accepting the tennis invitation, whilst sick, without hesitation shows the standup guy that he is. And no, I dont believe that he in anyway played to be the center of attention. He did that out of the goodness of his heart.

Also, Alex, please never, EVER, feel like you should apologize for putting your family and career above the duties of a charitable event. Everyone has priorities and your family should always be first and foremost. I had five children myself, and still found myself never turning down membership to the medical auxilary, being on a committee etc. HUGE mistake. I'm a people pleaser and hated to say "no". I am also extremely prompt and diligent in every activity I attach myself to so I tried to complete everything with excellence. If I had it to do over, I would definitely wait until all the children were in college before volunteering my time. You should carefully weigh all the requests that you receive, be sure that you have the time and that it can be done without sacrificing one moment of time with either Simon or your boys. Your friends played the guilt card on you and that was unfair. Next time you may have to decline their offer just to keep some normalcy in your life.

I just adored the hug you and Simon had when he gave you your flowers. It was warm and genuine and your love for each other shined through. You are a very fortunate couple. All the best.

Alex & Simon:
You two never creeped me out. I always thought you were both just doing your own thing and visiting the other girls when invited. I applaud Simon's efforts to do anything asked of him this season, from tennis to dancing with Ramona on the final show. I think you're a great team and enjoy your kids as well.
I just think Simon and you know the difference between personal and professional and you keep each in its place.
Have a great Summer!

Alex,
I think that you are one of the classiest women on the show! You never have an unkind word to say about anyone! I love the fact that you and Simon do everything together. It is obvious that you are both truly happy. If anyone has anything unkind to say about the two of you, I honestly believe that they are just envious of your confidence, beauty, kindness, happiness, talent, and zest for life!!! Your remodel was absolutely fantastic. I loved everything about it. Simon has got to be one of the sweetest guys I have ever seen. There are not many men in this world that can be spoken to with such disrespect(as he was on the show), and hold no grudge. Forgiveness is such an under rated attribute. I wish the very best for your whole family!

I want your staying thin tips as well as Bethenny's. Can't believe you've had two children. WOW. Love you and the gentle Pisces Simon.

Alex, from the beginning I have liked you and Simon. You are wonderful together and it is so refreshing to see a couple in love who respect each other too. I think you are the level headed one of the housewives who doesn't offend like someone we know. Ramona drives me nuts! She thinks she is so hot, if she could only see what a fool she makes out of her self half the time. Basically, she is insecure. Anyway, I LOVE YOU TWO and can't wait for next season. I am not liken Kelly either just for the record. SHE IS A PHONY!

Alex and Simon,

You are good people. It is nothing wrong liking fashion and wanting to be better.

For all the viewers that are mean to you, WHO CARES. I don't care for Ramona but
I like her better than that mean spirit and malicious Bethany.

Don't you forget it You and Simon are awesome. (:

(Apparently I was typing a novelette as I went over the limit in an over-explanation of the absurdity of my posting here, being drained on social politics in various formats.)

The things which I envy are the things most familiar to me and somewhat distant from me now, which draws me to commenting here rather than elsewhere.

... hopefully the translation won't take it the wrong way, but the flaws sparkle with more worth than the polish shine the camera intends to show or the drama that it sometimes creates both behind and in front, for all the things this unscripted soap opera was meant to be.

The flaws which are only named by the criticism that appears more suited for the colosseum of Nero, though touched all of the cast. Yet undoubtedly, as I suppose it should for the risks we take in making ourselves or our opinions known.

But I rather found the story of your family charming. Down to earth while still being able to touch the clouds ... with seemingly little hestitation and walking your path as it crosses so many others, and leaning into the obstacles that you'll likely survive another season, for the better or worse of what that brings.

Just for irrelevant opinion.... I'd rather think the story that would sell is one of family... of the relationship both you and your husband share, that which extends onto your children and how this translates into the family you both have created in a celebration of style and fashion, of friendship and love, of patience in learning, of living in the moment while still looking to the future and the negotiations of peer pressure which doesn't disappear in our teen years. But maybe that's for a sequel.

If life in the surreal world gets too much, I found Anti-Œdipus (1972) by Deleuze and Guattari to be helpful, to be adapted to the constructs of your own situation, of course.

Your favorite moments that did not air sound wonderful. Bravo should bring them to the bonus clips ASAP!!

Alex,
I have grown to just adore you and Simon.You always handle youself with the utmost of class no matter what the situation.I find you both to be so articulate and seem to be genuinely nice people.I do think Ra-meana is very childish and the fact that you and Simon continue to be so nice to her amazes me-my hat's off to you both for that.I love the renovation and yes-the Alice print is way cool!Continue to be true to yourselves and I do hope you and your family have a great summer.I look forward to the reunion show as well as next season!

I was out of the country for 2 weeks and haven't seen the last two episodes. But, I read your blog and all of the comments are so positive. I think that's great that you and Simon shined this season. I think you were both a bit more savvy this season about the cameras and what they were catching. Season 2 showed a different side of you more clearly.

Where is Simon's blog? I can't wait to read it. You two are the most articulate of the bunch.

GL on the reunion show.

lots of air time has been spent about you and simon writing a parenting book. i had an idea this morning and i am not sure if it has been done before ... pick a place and a historical time and a child's age and develop a book about what a child's life would be like during that time. perhaps you could include craft projects for making simple toys/outfits/whatever. perhaps write it in the language of the time/place. (include a translation for parents to use :) just a thought.
ps ~ i really hate snakes :)

I would love to spend an afternoon with you. A cup of coffee, glass of wine, perhaps tea. What I'm after is an upclose and personal to see if these internet dating sites really do pair you with your exact self in the opposite gender. Also,why you kept taking the abuse from the band of high school bullies is beyond me, especially Ramona. However, she voiced her opinions, rude and hurtful as they were, to your face and not behind your back. The world you and Simon see is not view the rest of us have, but it's your view so skip through life believeing someone really cares what you do or wear. Kelly would be the obvious choice for a lasting pal based on her utter delusionary skills . Conversation is not her strong suit and it may take her days to find her way to Brooklyn, but you can empathize, commiserate and talk fashion. Compared to the others, and I can't believe I'm saying this, you're the most down to Earth. Can't wait for the "Reunion". Till next week..It's Francesca!

i really dont understand everyone on the show having such HUGE problems with you and simon. most of the time the problems they have with you aren't even about things you did to them personally, but just criticisms about the way you live your lives. i really admire your attitude, because the truth is, they don't have to like it! and if they don't then oh well, not everyones lives their lives the same way. i find you so funny alex, and i dont think anyone really sees your sense of humor, i love that you don't take yourself too seriously. the only thing is, even though you&simon are attached at the hip, which is great, maybe he should take a backseat to you when it comes to things having to do with the show. its called real houseWIVES, not just people of ny. YOU'RE meant to be the star.

I was watching rerun episodes the other day on Bravo. In the episode where everyone was having dinner at Jills house and Romona left you had on the same earrings that you got for your birthday this season. I was just wondering if I was mistaken

Alex you and Simon are great on the show.

Last season, I thought you and Simon were the least likable. This season changed my mind. It was good to see you at home. The blow-up pool cracked me up. And I loved the pumpkin carving. This, in my opinion, made you and Simon more "real" in my eyes. I live in MO and these are normal things for me. I could relate to this. Sitting on your stoop in your witch's hats was great. I hope the other cast members will stop looking down their noses at you. You're good people.

Alex:
I like the bond you and Simon have. I don't think my husband and I could do that. I love him very much, but his taste is blue jeans and t-shirts and I'm not. But it works very well. However, if we went shopping together, it would end up very bad. LOL.

Can I make one suggestion here? I suggest that you get a little more aggressive verbally with Ramona. I think you don't verbally smack her around enough, and she needs it.

From what is being shown, the woman is nothing but a self-absorbed cow with way too much money, and not enough common sense, tact, or decorum. She needs to be slapped (verbally) into place. If you can do it...DO IT !!!

She gives ALL New York City Housewives a bad name.

Glad someone has a decent marriage.

You 2 are so cool.

Hi Alex! Most people don't realize that you are one of the most authentic people on the show. I e-mailed you a compliment last year (and I still have your e-mail) and you e-mailed me back the same day! Okay, I think it's time that you hear something nice: Do you realize how much you look like Elizabeth Montgomery (Bewitched)? Well, she was lovely! Forget the haters - it's obvious that you love your life, husband & children and I know that you're an actress; so, why would you pass up the opportunity to do a t.v. show? Good Luck and All the Best to you Alex!

Alex, I just wanted to tell you that I far prefer the logo that you did for Bethenny versus the one that she ended up using. Yours reminded me of those vintage French posters that are so polular these days. Kudos! Or, as Ramona would say, "Kuh-dooze!" Lol.

Alex,

Back when the show first started, I didn't think you would be the kind of person I could relate to or be friends with. HOWEVER! I have grown to like and respect you. You had the moments where I say to myself "oh, please!" (like when you were talking about your sons reading classic literature off your bookshelves)...but you also had a side of you that was so relatable. Like you guys having a blow up pool in your backyard. Carving pumpkins. Being the bigger person and a true partner to your husband when someone attacks him in a newspaper. And blogging about trying to keep your cats from running in the street (boy, have I been there!) These are things that we all go through. Perhaps not in high def on a Tuesday night for the world to see...but in our own ways, we all go through it. These things are the small moments that life is made of. Not parties and bling. These small moments that you showed. There is nothing more down to earth than a family with children and a blow up pool!

Keep your chin up, Alex. Keep being who you are and don't sweat the small stuff. My best to Simon!

Cheers!

I have to say that my opinion of you has NOT changed since season 1. I do still find you and Simon to be incredibly self-absorbed, though I'm dying for an episode where he finally comes out of the closet. Nice to hear you were able to get an "in season" St. Bart's package for Creaky Joints. Maybe one day you'll be able to get there during high season. It's incredible in December.

Hi Alex, First of all I loved what you did for Bethenny, her add with her on top of the glass, that was beautiful and awesome. I love Bethenny and you and Simon. You guys are totally great, your real, spontaneous, totally unique, the way you get along as a couple, the relationship you both have with your children, and specially the way you both just let the dumb slime that the others throw your way, just slide right off you. Love the way Simon doesn't give a S___!, about the women who don't like him, it's OK Simon your cool on my list, just be yourself, dress as crazy as you like stick by your wife, love your kids, and don't bother trying to get responses from them about why they don't like you, it's honestly not important. You guys live the real life in New York, keep living it! I love Simons wacky dance with Ramona, ti was totally hilarious , she's trying to criticize his choice of clothing and he totally ignored her, so she had no choice but to start dancing with him, talk about shutting up someone without words, Cheers and yeeeey to you Simon, LOVE IT!!!!!!!! Love you guys your the best of the show besides Bethenny, Love her to!

Alex you are a true beauty. I thought you looked extra great at the final charity meeting. I know you had just gotten off hectic day at work, the hair was done but a bit wind swept and tired look in your eyes and shoulders but you looked so cute and poised. You looked great in that black turtleneck.
Really enjoyed you and your family and I hope you dont get savaged at the reunion show.
best wishes !!!!

I really couldn't understand you or Simon but you guys have fast become my favorite couple to watch. I love the rapport between the two of you. You guys march to your own beat and you do it with style and grace.

Hi Alex,

I'm so sad that the season is over already! I hope everyone returns for a 3rd season!

I have to say, and it seems to be a common opinion on your blog, at first, I couldn't really connect with you and Simon. However, I think the turning point for me was your birthday episode: your composure during the stress and the genuine joy in eating cupcakes at home with your little ones spoke volumes about who you really are. A graceful, lady who strives to keep things calm and positive.

I think you and Simon both came out at the end of this season looking good and I'd bet you've both gained quite a few more fans. You're both so far removed from the really selfish, inarticulate, unkind behavior displayed elsewhere on the show.

Enjoy your summer - looking forward to the next season!

Wendy

Silex, u guys were outstanding this season. I don't always agree with your fashion choices but I love (high) fashion and what a boring world it would be if everyone wore only what was appropriate. I think Ramona is mean-spirit and nasty to complain about Simon's outfit. It is fabulous that he takes chances with fashion because fashion should be fun! What a treat for folks in Idaho or who suffer mundane lives. He didn't dress for her he dressed to please himself as it should be. Ramona is a miserable shrew! Please don't pay her any mind. I think we all secretly admire Simon for going against the norm and celebrating life through fashion. Vogue should eat him up ;-)
BRAVO

Well, just have to say I will miss you and Simon and the boys until next season. You put the real in reality.
Now I finally understand Bethenny's comment that she made at your housewarming party/big reveal about the color scheme of your home and the shiny red pants and black jacket . The charity event occurred while you were still working on the renovation. Of course, you did not have enough time to sell many tickets: both of you working full time, your job beginning the Christmas holiday chaos, the renovating and furniture/accessory placements, raising two small children and celebrating Hallowwen with them, being in a reality show, maintaining a great marriage, working with Jill on her charity event, creating a great logo for Bethenny (gratis, remember), being a daughter to your parents, being a friend to your friends, being a housewife doing all the cooking, grocery shopping, cleaning, laundry while living in a construction zone (none of this is in order of importance) all the while trying to keep sane. You did a great job!

Dear Alex,

I love you and your husband. It is so refreshing to see a couple who truly enjoys being with one another and loves each other for a change.To me you are the housewife with most class. You are so gracious and sophistacated. I was so glad you finally stood up for your self agianst Ramona.I love your husband Simon, he is such a true gentlemen, very secure man in his own skin with wierd clothes and all,that's what makes him so great.He is very loving towards you and your boys, its no wonder you are so proud of him. I LOVE THE DANCE WITH RAMONA, IT WAS PRICELESS!!!!!!! Take care of eachother and be happy, See you Season 3

Alex,

You and Simon outdid yourselves this season. I don't want to say that you are as perfect as some of your "bloggers" seem to think you are. I am very aware of things ending up on the cutting room floor. My sister and I think you redeemed yourselves nicely however. HOW TACKY was it of Jill to criticize your children while you were SPENDING her favorite thing...MONEY in her store that day. TACKY !! I will have to say, one of my favorite episodes is when the camera keeps shooting the outside of your Hamptons rental home against the others!! And that strange woman who massaged for rental payments !! GREAT STUFF...again, You and Simon and the boys ROSE ABOVE !!

LOVE LOVE LOVE they way Simon & Ramona let loose & danced, during the last scene of this last episode!..you should be proud of Simon...& no matter what anyone else says, i thought Simon looked great in that outfit...loved the pants!!

i really like you & Simon!

Hi Alex, You and Simon have become my favorite couple on the show. It's obvious that you have a marriage that is based on love and respect and not on what the other partner can give or buy you. I really admire the fact that you and Simon seem to be the only two people on the show that are not constantly using the program as a means to promote your business endeavors. You and Simon have endured much mud slinging and nastiness over the past two seasons and have reacted with nothing but class & grace. Instead of being critical of you, some of the other women on this show should try to emulate you. You make your fellow Brooklyn girls proud!!

Do you realize that you and Simon are the only "normal" people on this show? I stopped watching for a while because of Ramona and her googly eyes and know it all attitude and Kelly with her "I'm better than everyone else" attitude made me ill. It was just impossible to watch.
I did just catch last nights rerun of the finale and as usual the same things were going on with the 2 mentioned above.
ICK!

Hi Alex,

I have to agree with most of the posts I am reading. You and Simon totally creeped me out in the first season, but you have changed my opinion. Your boys are precious and I love how important your family and home are to you. Have a wonderful off season and I look forward to seeing what you are up to next. Good luck!

Ugh, I hated your discomfort at the last charity meeting when the others were upset that you did not sell any tickets at that time.
You work full-time, have 2 little kids and were still renovating your home. For you to volunteer at all on any project is putting your time and patience to the test.
Kudos to you for even being present at that meeting.
You were excellent this season and I can't wait to see you next year!!!

I think you and simon redeemed yourself this season you were classy and very loyal ...You should be proud of yourselves and i hope you will be back next season
some of the housewives love to make comments like you are publicity seekers but i believe they should take a look in the mirror , as much as i love Jill and still do she was a total publicity seeker this season , in any event you and simon are great people and as a viewer we enjoyed you very much

I think you and Simon are hilarious and I dont see why people dont like you. You guys are definitely different but great none the less. Gotta love ya!

Alex,
I am SO happy this season you & Simon were able to "rise above" all the negative perceptions from last season, and prove what a devoted, loving couple & parents you truly are.
The relationship you share with Simon was not just fun to watch, but admirable.
The commitment you both so openly shared towards your marriage, family & most of all, your beautiful boys is so touching!
Thank you for bringing a MUCH needed "balance" to the show by conducting yourselves with such class, humor, sincerity, warmth & honesty.
Simon is a riot - and his dance moves with Romona proved once & for all what a kind, true gentleman he is.
Best wishes to you both & much continued success!!

You and Simon both seem like you would be good friends to have. You seem present, attentive, calm, and genuine in your interactions with people. It's exactly the opposite energy that is put off by the others who are extremely chaotic, self-absorbed, insecure, and mean-spirited.
If I hear how "REAL" Bethanny and Jill are, I'm going to vomit. I suspect the people making that claim are similar in personalities to these two-faced and extremely FAKE people. Being a B**ch does not make one 'real', it only makes one a REAL B#*TCH!!!

I admire the love you and your husband share. It is obvious in the show that you both are crazy about each other and I think that is fantastic. I think your boys are adorable, although a bit out of control in public. Although your love and admiration are undeniable when it comes to your children, writing a book on raising children may not be the best idea; I hope that rumor is false.

Alex,
You and Simon have such a wonderful marriage like my husband and I have. You stand by each other, you love each others company and your boys come first. The dates you both go on together, just the two of you should be a lesson for many marriages. It gives you that time to reflect and spice up and keep things fun. The way you both look at each other and go with each other wherever you go is awesome! I can tell that you are still madly inlove.keep it up and never let anyone tell you different.

Alex,
After watching the 2 seasons of the show, it is obvious to me that you are the most intelligent and classy of all the Housewives. You are the only one that writes impecably on the blogs and behave like a lady all the time. Ramona does not have half your class or intelligence, well she does not have any intelligence. That's all... just thought I'll let you know that us viewers notice who is real and likable and who is not. Simon and Bobby are my favorite husbands, they are always supporting you and having a good time. Lucky girl!!!

Apparently some people do not understand what happens when you find your soul mate. It took some time for my soul mate and I to finally meet...I was 39 he is 8 years my senior and we are just as kissy-face-huggy-bear as you and Simon. Some people get it, some don't and we could care less. By the way, Ramona and Mario are shallow, you and Simon are not.

It's such a pleasure reading your blogs..you write with such panache.
Simon dancing with Ramona was priceless! You couldn't ask for a better ending.

You and Simon really came out on top this season. You brushed away the snobbishness, and really showed a softer, down-to-earth side. Kudos to you! Or as Ramona would say "Kodus".

Alex, you have continued to impress me with your class and composure. You and Simon seem genuinely happy together and I too have grown to like him over this last season. Having children myself, I know how hard each day can be. You held back when confronted with your lack of guests at the charity...pretty damn classy in my book...my daughter and I were yelling "She has 2 little boys and a house under construction, leave her alone..." Please tell Simon that we see Ramona as such an idiot with her bug eyes and big hyperactive mouth...

Alex,
I wasn't fond of you in the first season but I think you have really humbled yourself this season and not let yourself get caught up in the drama. You're husband seemed to do that really well with everything that came out in Season 2. I think that for you to write a book about parenting a little short sited though since what I've seen are 2 young boys reeking havoc wherever they go and you and Simon not getting control.
#1 rule of parenting is you guide your children and not the other way around. If you don't set boundaries than your children won't know what boundaries are now or when their 15 years old.

I have to say Simon and yourself are my favs! You, do keep it real you dont care what others think, you have balance. However Simons red leather pants, with the ties on the side, took me a flashback to the 1980's all he needed was that members only jacket! But thats you both from what I seen on the show keeping it real as you are.

I agree with the things you listed as your fav, it was Kelly running in the middle of the street she should had just ran up the stairs like Rocky did it would had seemed less odd!!!

I wish Simon the best in your future, and all you set out do even its another major remodel, or another season of the housewifes, best of luck to you both...You two are my favs!

Hey cookie,

I have to say I really like you guys this season. You and your hubby and two boys. You seem to be the most down to earth of the whole lot.

Can I comment on your husbands fashion sense though or is that rude...okay its rude...should I do it anyway...okay I wont, because I like you Alex. LOL

See you next season!!

Oh Please tell me youre not seriously writing a book about child rearing. There is no way you know enough to write a book when you've never actually raised a child and let me just say this.oh oh, here I go again...your boys are too wild to have parents that have written a book about them. My children were the same way. I would much rather have happy kids and a happy family than little robots and a book. My children all attend college full time and are all very well behaved. Good luck to you guys, you rock!

Alex,

You and Simon are the only ones who really get this show! I don't think you did at first, but this season you have really tried to be yourselves and not the socialite wannabees that you were portraying in season one. I was under the impression that the producers told you the show was about the rich, snobby, socialite lifestyles of NYC, and so, that is how you tried to act. This offended the viewers because you can't fool the public. But I think you realized how pretentious and fake that was, and you both corrected it and decided just to be the Alex and Simon that you really are in real life. Not only has this made you more credible and more loved by the audience, but its been a growing experience for the two of you! If the show has a season 3, please don't change and continue to be the sweethearts that you showed us you really are, as people can relate to you when you are being real.

Alex & Simon you two are very cute. Simon I can see your outlandish outfits are making a hit! You may need to do more next season. I for one would like to see your hair straightned and grown out, maybe a beard...no offence. Love the home renovate, very hip, the children are beautiful and your fashions Alex divine. Alex you are always so appreciate of your husbands gifts. I was amazed how you held it together when Simon got pissed in the limo on your birthday...teehee funny!
Best Wishes for a great summer & look forward to next season.

Dear Alex,

You seem so grounded, so down-to-earth, and so...real. I love reading your blogs. You're a great writer! The way your relationship with Simon plays out on the show is just charming. The two of you always have each other's back, and it shows. I'd love to read a book by you about finding success, true love, and a fabulous sense of style, and keeping it all when the chips are down. Just wanted to say thanks for a great season!

Alex & Simon, the 2 of u have turned out to be the best and classiest of all of the bunch. Simon is hiiiiiilarously fun ,and gracious, when he needs to be or wants to be and you Alex have real "old world style" class. You should be the "Countess". Bethenny and Jill are the next 2 fave's of mine. Kelly needs Therapy Sessions/medication, and Ramona needs to stop making "Bug Eyes" (soo not flattering). Jill's husband is a real sweetie and Ally is healthy in the mind. Jill's "gay husband" is a sad "tag a long" and Kell's Max is not really good looking at all. I take Simon over him. LuAnn, the Countess, I cant Count how many times during the seasons she pointed out that she is a Countess, enough already, I won't buy her book, that's for sure. Anyway, I am glad that I don't "move" in your circles, to much work to keep up with the "Joneses" so to speak. I am happy with my REALFRIENDS AND HOUSEWIVES OF SUBURBIA.

i think you and Simon are pretty cool. I did not care for u last season, but I like your no nonsense way of thinking. I do believe you have a lot of class keep it up. I give Simon kudos for even speaking to Crazy Ramona after she has treated him so badly, he has more class in his pinky than she and mario put together.
