Alex I saw the pic of you and your boys at the MacKenzie Childs Fantasy on West 57th.You all looked great, your boys are so cute and getting soooo big. Hope to see some MacKenzie Childs in your house............love that stuff. can't wait for the NY Housewives to come back on tv.

Alex, you are the lady with most tact withing the group putting Luann at the bottom. I would like to see you with your friends more without Simon. I believe the things would be different between you and your friends in a good way. I understand your relationship but honey, you must gather your own as well especially when its specifically a girls night out. Try it you might enjoy it and he might enjoy the time alone with his boys as well.

Alex,
I don't understand why everyone finds it so odd that a woman should want to keep her last name when getting married. You shouldn't have to give up your entire identity just because you fall in love and want to marry. I kept my last name when I married my husband 10 years ago, and it has never been an issue between us. Good for you.

Hi Alex and Simon, I just wsnt to say that I really enjoy watching RHNYC. Simon, you stand your ground about being an Australian. I am also an Australian and proud of it and so you should be. Who cares what they think of you, you and Alex and your family know the true you and if people need to run you into the ground then all I can say is that jealousy is a curse. You have done well for yourself and you should congratulated. Finally Alex, whose business is it anyway if you have choosen to keep your maiden name. Both my sisters have kept their maiden names and are proud of it - maybe this is an Australian thing. Again no-one's business but your own and where is it in the wedding vows that you need to give up your name and identity??? You go girl. Take care. Your fellow Australian.

I have to agree with B-wife's comment. Alex and Simon are a very odd couple. There is something strange going on there...starting from the way they met (online)to their relationship...I don't get it...it's VERY creepy!

Plus, the spend a lot of time, energy and money to try and fit it to NY high society...but they just don't! Another thing...for someone who spends a lot of money on buying expensive clothing to improve their appearance, perhaps Alex should spend some of that money to fix HER TEETH!!!

Actually, I'm here because I thought I saw Alex on a Mickey D's commercial today.

Alex and Simon,

I like you both. There are very few couples nowadays who are actually happy. Thank you for showing the world that you both would have each other's backs no matter what sorts of rumors are being spread. I would have to say that most of the cast ladies are not as happy in their relationships(some don't even have a male companion), and therefore, are very bitter when they come accross a couple with children that enjoy each other's company so much to the extent that they are willing to go everywhere with their spouse, such as you both. That's LOVE. Don't let the envy of these other ladies harm the dedication(vows) you made to one another and your children.

I wish you a long and happy friendship and marriage.

Lia

PS. Alex you really know how to conduct yourself with class and discretion, unlike, the madness I have seen amongst the others who immediately attempt to hide their lousy and vulguar behaviours i.e. Ramona and her Husband

I was in NYC visiting from Canada and happened to see you on the street and so did another group doing a scavenger hunt. You were so gracious in letting me take a photo with you.
You looked fabulous in your sequined pale colored mini dress.

Alex I just wanted to comment that I see how much you and your husband puts into parenthood, and want to stress that you also need to find at least one or two really good hobbies or interests that the two of you can stay focused on throughout your marriage. When your kids get older, there will be less and less of a need to have discussions revolving around them and many couples find that this is a huge divider for them. I can relate to this, it has happened to me. Someone once said, "the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world", no truth has been told like that..once it is over, it's over...turn the page, but if you can turn that page to a new chapter with your husband, it will be happiness and fulfillment, if not, be prepared for disaster. I have no explanation for why this problem exists for two people that have stood together for many years watching children grow and succeed. It just happens. No one prepared me for it, no one ever discussed this as I was in my thirties and could have prepared for this day. I don't feel at this point, the happiness will be revived, so I must look for a way to co-exist. Please don't let this happen to you. Just keep finding activities the two of you can do when both your children are off to other things.....congrats on your 9th year...

I think you are sweet. You and your husband were a joy to watch on the show, it shows what a loving marriage should be.

Alex and Simon, Thank you so much for being so gracious at the airport July 8. You just never know where you will run into a familar face. Love the renovation on your townhouse. Hope you had as wonderful a holiday as I did.
Once again thank you and the kids were super.

Alex,
You are my fave. You and Simon really love each other. You are so patient, understand and respect your husband. You have a good taste on your outfit. May God bless both of you and the kids. You have a class. You are smart and know what to do. I wish you good luck with your career. It's a pleasure to see how you and Simon adore each other. Keep the good job. Write something about your new self employed job on your next blog.

you and Simon have a great relationship and many people out there would love to have what you have. Do't let the name thing bother you at all. In fact, in Quebec, Canada we keep our birth names. It's very normal for us.

I just downloaded the reunion special off ITunes and watched it. I have to say that you were extremely reserved and classy during the entire show. Kudos to you Alex! All the other women's behavior was that of catty school girls. Maybe you should be the one that writes a book on manners! Best of luck with your career.

Alex and Simon!
You guys are a CLASS ACT- Romona is a tad strange !

I was very impressed with your composure and intellect in dealing with situations based on anothers complete ignorance and lack of intelligence.

It was clear Ramona's distaste for Simon began when she made a full out of herself at the ladies night dinner party he attended.

She was embarrassed and she focused those feelings of embarrassment, shame and public humiliation onto you and your husband.

She and her husband are a bit primitive in their ignorant comments about Simon. It has really made her look like she lacks basic social skills to interact on your level of class.
She does explain that she grew up in an abusive household and she shows this often as she does have issues with directing her pent up anger about self worth towards others.

I wonder if she realizes she has become an abuser herself.

I hope you read this Ramona. Your lack of tolerance for others shows that you are less than a common person, without the intelligence to realize how bad you look.

Alex you have handled the season with class and grace as always.
Well done.

Also would like to say that your suggestion to kelly was dead on.
Kelly has no idea how to articulate what she means correctly and it makes her look or sound worse than she means to.
It would be good for her to befriend you and simon, a chat with a friend on how to go about saying what she feels prior to saying it would help her public presence on the show.

Alex,

Is there a site out there that you don't blog?
You're here, the Fashion Show, Huffington Post. What's next, the Weather Channel or Food Network?

i saw your pic with a feed bag which costs $195.00. $100.00 of that goes to the children. Why is Ms. Lauren getting such a big cut of the profits. The bag is also made in China. I would like to buy a bag, but I do think that for a charity the profit margin is a bit much. What are your thoughts.

to everyone whom dislikes Simon and Alex: note that these two have not done anything hurtful or disrespectful to anyone throughout the show. People hate because they are different, which in my opinion is ridiculous. Alex and Simon were not my favorite characters, but they were themselves and I admire how honest and comfortable alex was being exactly who she is. You may not get her, but I do. SO WHAT if alex took nude photos? they were for herself and her husband, it was not like she purposely disrespect anyone. And SO WHAT if they want to be apart of a higher class? dont everyone in someways or at some point wanted to be apart of something they thought was big? anyways.. I love how their family is so close and loving, they are rich in their own ways.

After 2 seasons of watching the show and your participation, it still feels staged and unreal. You and your wife are unbelievable as a couple. Your scenes felt scripted and contrived, "Dahling"... You both are obviously angling for a spin off. I wish Bravo would grant your wish. Therefore, you (en famille) would be quarantined to your own time and place and I could avoid you completely.

Alex,
You are my favorite housewife, and I think you and Simon are great together and seem to have a very good relationship. I love your style and your intelligence. You're my pick out of the whole group. I have to admit the NYC housewives by far are heads and tails above the other "housewives" groups. I think Simon is a hoot and I think it's cute how the two of you met. Keep up the good work and I wish you and the other NYC Houswives all the best. I love watching the show!

Sorry Alex,

I must say that I just don't get all of this Silex fan love. After 2 seasons of Simon's maladroit comments or ill timed groping and your "Frankly, I really don't care" attitude, doesn't show much chemistry between you two. Your scenes together seemed staged and rehearsed. He even fed you lines he wanted you to say back to him. You make a very odd pair.

Alex, you showed a lot of class on the reunion show.Thanks for bringing some sanity to it.Even though I am not a fan of Kellys it was nice to hear you explain that she really doesn't express herself well at all.I don't think the show is good for her.I have gotten to see you and Simon in a much better light this season. If you want to climb the social ladder thats fine just don't ever pretend you don't. Theres nothing wrong with wanting to better our lot in life. Also please don't pose nude for photos...You are raising two sons and you want them to think the best of their Mom...that was not a good choice.Class and good character are so important in a person...you showed you have it so please don't lose it.Good luck to all of you.....

I think Alex did the best job on the reunion show. She remained calm the whole time why the others were bickering.
She was even able to give good advice on what she was seeing as an outsider of why Kelly and Bethany were arguing.
I am definitely middle class and love to watch the House wives the show shows me that money does not by happiness.

Alex,
I've liked you from the very first episodes. You are the only housewife that truly lives their own life, by their rules, without being concerned with how others view them. I think Simon is weird, but funny and sincere. I would love to have a husband that is also a buddy and best friend. Congratulations on your anniversary and I wish you two many more to come.

Alex-great season hope to see you for another.I am so upset I missed you at the book America Expo-can't wait to read your book!! Best of luck to you and Simon and Your cute boys! May you have a best seller!!

Alex,
I liked you from the very beginning.
However, I did not like one of the first introductions with you in which you said "I would never, ever, live in the suburbs" I did'nt care for that comment and would have told you so if I knew you.
You do however seem to be getting to a place that is better than where you were before. (I, am not so sure) I am happy for you, if that is where you want to go. You have been successful and I give you great kudos. I think you are intelligent, and have a very good heart. Keep being yourself!

Interesting that you are looking for a fine school for your sons (Francois & Johann??? So pretentious!), as you encourage their multilingual talents. Perhaps you & Simon should spend more time on discipline and forming character traits that are socially acceptable. It is also advisable that you & Simon use proper grammar when speaking so your boys will know when to use Simon and I - or - Simon and me. Apparently you are not aware that the latter is correct. From Alex and I is wrong. It should be Alex and me. I learned in grade school the way to distinguish the correct usage. When saying "Alex and I", drop the "Alex", which leaves you with "From I"....obviously incorrect. You are not alone. Once you have mastered the English language, then you can move on to French and Latin! Mon Dieu!

Get over it!!! Jill was nice to apologize first to both of you guys and everything was resolved.

Wasn't Best in Show the funniest movie ever? Love your reference! I adore you and your husband; I think your chemistry and bond is authentic and envious. Simon IS outrageous in his fashion choices, but I appreciate his sense of humor and passion. I wish I had your style sense!

We have a Second Time Around here in Portsmouth, NH: planning a visit anytime soon?! It's a cool small "city" that I think you guys would enjoy.

Like they say 'boys will be boys', I laughed and laughed watching your boys in that episode that has viewers talking so much. Now that is what I call reality. As the mother of two small boys, I have been put in that same situation, oh, but so many times.

The two of you hold yourself in such a classy way. In fact I wish I could stay so calm. I am a little more high strung and get flustered a little too easy. I hope you guys really do have a book coming out, I'll be in line for it. You and Bethany are my favs on the show.

Just a suggestion, maybe you could write a book on relationships next..that would be interesting.

I think you and Alex are great!!!! It was a breath of fresh air to watch you both. Anyone on the show that made a comment/remark,they're jealous! You were picked on for things that were nothing?! You are two beautiful people trying to have a life. And Ramona should just shut the hell up already!!! I couldn't stand listening to her let alone looking at her bulging eyes!!!!! And her husband reminded me of a drunken wife beater with no respect for women at all! You always seemed to hold back and keep yourself calm when it came to her, you ended up the better for it!!

...funny...
didn't you have those birthday earrings- in last season- way before that episode?
If not, be origional. They look just like the others.

Love you and your family! You love you're kids just right, in my humble opinion. I wish for a husband like Simon. I love the show--most of all because of you and yours.

You should thank Kelly Bensimon. If she weren't there, you'd look more ridiculous.
Kelly may be nuts, but she's achieved what you and Simon seem to want.
I can't get past your pretending to speak French and Italian, your
social pretensions, and your sex dungeon of an apartment. You
and your wife Simon are still the worst and most pathetic of
all the grabby and pretentious housewives.

Thank god you live in Brooklyn; you don't belong in Manhattan.
I think you'd really be better suited for Atlanta

Alex, I believe you have just ended the season on Top! Kudos to you for not buying into the crazy antics. You are very classy, and true to yourself. Simon is a little wacky for me, but he obviously loves you & your kids. I look forward to finding out your new career path. Have A Great Summer with the boys.

Alex and Simon,I wish you years of happiness. But..... the show with your children out to dinner was beyond belief! Your children's behavior was way out of line at any age. And if your excuse is they were tired then you should have stayed home with them and had dinner as a family then put them to bed! In my opinion the greatest lesson you can teach your children is manners!

To Lynda:
Are you really Ramona using a pseudonym?
Just wondering......cuz you sound like her....or maybe her husband who has a little bit of Simon-envy.
To Alex: You are a terrific writer and you are so well-spoken. I will pick buy your book and I know it will be fun to read. You have said many times its about your experiences and not how to raise a child so ignore these negative fools that write in....I think your kids are pretty typical and very lucky.

Alex,

Please get off your soapbox. Gloria's conversation to Jill was not much different than your constant defense of your "rambunctious" boys. When my 2 boys were that age, they had energy too. Yet, they never broke someone else's property or stabbed someone else's food. Your excuses, "They were young, tired, out of sorts, etc." didn't wash the blame away. Obviously, they weren't raised to respect others. Your upcoming book on your experiences raising children is probably a joke book.
Or is it just a joke?

Your succinct comments during the reunion seemed rehearsed. Did Simon write your script?

Both of your current blogs here are very similar in tone and content. Did you collaborate on them? Yes, you two are perfectly suited for each other. He is your feminine side; whereas you are his masculine side. He is your martinet, pulling your strings. You both love to name drop and boast how you are the envy of all who view you.
I don't think so!!
In any case, the pretentiousness persists.

I just have to say "ditto" to all the positive comments that were just posted on 6/2. Alex, you stand out as the housewife with the most poise, grace, and restraint among all the women. And I LOVE all of the women. I love Jill AND Ramona. And I thought you showed genuine kindness in helping to translate some of the things Kelly was trying to convey.

I thought you explained the whole "is Simon gay?" thing very well. But I never doubted Simon was straight. My brother has always been a clothes horse and when he had money, used to wear the latest trends in the fashion mags. And he is soooo straight - a real hounddog; he just loves clothes. So I recognized Simon's "straight" love for fashion. By the way, your new decor is so much fun. I really wish we could see the whole kitchen better, since the "housewives" commented how nice it is.

Thanks for being there in the group and doing such a great job of being yourself. I love your attitude & courage. It is inspiring. Much luck on the book - looking forward to it. And keep up the blogging - love to read your thoughts!!

Alex, you and Simon just keep on being yourselves. I love your relationship, and the fact that your first instinct is to be a peacemaker.

I think Bravo-TV should seriously consider doing a spin-off with you and Simon.

Alex, you were sooooo right on with your comment to Kelly about her just not being articulate with her 'I'm up here and you're down here' comment. Bravo. You showed tremendous class on the reunion show and I was really impressed with you.

Loved the footage with you and your friends and their adopted son. So sweet!! You and Simon are refreshing and more of the "norm." of NYC lifestyle than Jill and Ramona.. and for Bethenney to chime in with the other women to question about Simon's sexuality/style of dress? She has many homosexual friends, as does Jill .. so, why do they care about Simon's dress/behavior or anything else about what he and you do or believe in? It's absurd. I don't believe Simon is gay..but, if he was? Who cares? If that worked for you two, then, who is to question anything? You are both good parents, have great fun together, seem so much in love, and treat each other with great respect.. Who could ask for more in a marriage? What kids could ask for more than two parents who love and care for them, yet, have so much fun together and support each other? Most families do not have that.. I admire both of you for putting up with the flack, rumors, and criticism by your cast.. without getting into silly fights with them about it. You have class.. and are too intelligent to indulge them in a debate over this.. and, what business would it be of theirs anyway?? Ha-ha

P.S. Hats off to you for being a great example to your kids about keeping an open mind and loving and accepting people for who they are! In a world with so many different families and different beliefs, it's refreshing to see you having a playdate with your sons and your friends' son-that melted my heart!

Alex,
While I have to admit, I thought you and Simon were over the top the first season....and even a bit of the second, you've become the housewife with the most class. i can only hope to one day marry a husband who adores me as much as Simon obviously adores you. You guys are great examples of what a true loving, partnership marriage is all about, as well as loving parents! Bravo to Bravo for having you guys on there to set the bar.
Good luck and many blessings to you and your family!

Alex,
I had to post a comment on this site.

I felt bad for you and the rest of the cast members when Kelly was brought on to the show. I thought it was insulting to all of you and quite painful to watch. You and the rest of the cast are talented, educated individuals. I found all of you entertaining. I know you and Simon make your own decisions about who you want to be around. I hope you are keeping your eyes and ears open.
The SO called "great house of cards" is falling down all around you.
I see you and Simon as being safe from all of this.
Best to all!

Alex,

Wow what a difference a year makes. I too thought you and Simon were a bunch of wannabees last year but now I cannot tell you how much class and manners you have compared to some of the other housewives on your show and the other series. You don't argue or yell or tell someone you don't like their husband or that they give you the creeps (you know who I am referring to). You are truly in a league of your own.

Alex,
You've turned out to be such a gracious, kind and understanding person. I am really glad you are a part of the show. Best to you for a happy summer!

You have become my favorite housewife I absolutely love your grace and style. I love the reference to Best in Show it is one of my favorite Christopher Guest movies and me and my husband love all his movies! I want to wish you a Happy Anniversary and I hope to see you next season! Have a wonderful Summer!!

alex -- you have come through, collected and dignified, to become my favorite housewife. congrats on your consistency of self!
kas

Alex, I thought you and Simon were weird last season, but this season I've really come to realize you guys are great! So what if Simon likes fashion? There are worse things he could be involved in!

Alex, at first I thought you and Simon were a little weird, but after watching the show I realized that you guys have an honest, loving relationship. Who cares if Simon likes fashion? There are more important things in the world to worry about!

Hi Alex:

No doubt, you have become my favorite housewife. You not only have the most class, you are kind and well-educated. You certainly are the most literate of the bunch.

In consideration of the rough time that the Real Housewives and Bravo's editors have given you over the last two seasons, try to show some empathy toward Kelly. The other Housewives really hit her hard this season. I think that she is a decent person. She just needs some coaching in the ways of reality television.

Your home remodel turned out great! I hope that you and Simon and your boys come back next season.

ALEX ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS THAT U AND SIMON R GREAT PEOPLE AND I AM GLAD THERE R PEOPLE LIKE MY SELF WHO LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST AND DONT LET PEOPLE JUDGEMENT AFFECT MY LIFE AND CHOICES U R A STRONG WOMAN AND I GLAD U KNOW IT AND SIMON IS TERRIFIC !!!!!

Simon & Alex,
Thanks for staying head and shoulders above the rest of that motley crew for the season. How vindicated you must feel that, after being their target for much of season one, you two are the ones the public now recognizes and appreciates as being adult, considerate, empathetic, intelligent and well-mannered.
It's also been nice to see that you haven't joined that spiteful gang as they attack Kelly. Kelly surely gets her thoughts and words tangled, and is undoubtedly emotionally immature, but jackals are kinder to their prey than those women have been to her. It hurts to watch, and it's remarkable that grown women can act like 11-year-old mean girls.
And please, both of you, laugh off the snide gay remarks. They're not worth a response. Those broads are so provincial they think an Australian accent means someone's gay. And they pose as enlightened Manhattanites when they make derisive comments about a man who likes hip fashion.
Please... they're all rubes.
Best,
Stephen

You are so classy and so sweet! I just love you and Simon...he's a wonderful person.

I am from another country and I also get laught off at times but you know what....f****thm all! have fun and congrats on your beautiful kids

Your children are beautiful and you bring such a great dry sense of humor to the show that is needed it to cut through some of that over-the-top East Coast hypersensitivity about themselves that the other housewives have. The other housewives lack of worldliness really gets to me sometime. Yes, New York city is very special but when you travel the world you understand that NYC is just one of the worlds special city not the only special city. I loved your translating between Kelly and Bethenny. Please keep up the good work and I look forward to reading your book!

Silex are my favorites: fun, candid, and direct with malice. Also, they don't over dramatize.

I disagreed with Gloria's approval of Jill's comments. It doesn't matter if you're a Mom - accountability. I also don't really get what the fuss is over in terms of Simon's comments. The truth is there is a LI stereotype. I'm deaf and there are deaf stereotypes too. I laugh, because there is truth to it. He didn't attack Jill's character or appearance.

Hi Alex,
I do agree with the other viewers that you are now one of my favorites on the show. Alex, don't get trashy and act low class like the others do. I was raised in NY so I realize we are known for our big mouths. However, getting angry and yelling shows a person is out of control and the other person has the upper hand. Continue your loving relationsip with Simon and your children and remain classy, it is upsetting to watch the catfights. Take care

Hey Alex,
I have a new found respect for both of you. I watched the lost clip yesterday and I must say I am an even bigger fan of both of you! I am happy they showed the clip so eveyone can see that yre husband is NOT GAY! You guys should feature yre gay freinds more in the next season.

Totally looking forward to seeing it.

Have a good day

If you feel comfortable keeping your last name and Simon was comfortable with it thats your choice and no one elses business. I took my Husbands name because that was done all those years ago, but I like the hyphenated maiden and married last name whenever possible. I loved the lost footage...I have never been addicted to a show in my life as I am to this one...I almost feel sorry for Kelly because she really doesn't fit in. I wish her well though. I hope you and your family have a great hiatus Alex. Come back soon!

i watched last nights reunion i guess it was lost footage or something and to tell you the truth its very upsettng for these women to continually say that Simon is gay if he were gay he would be gay than its insultingf or them to basically say to you you arent seeing it, Simon may be flmaboyant and love fashion but there is no rules in who can like fashion or not its mean and you react so calm
so kudos to you and simon for knowing who you are and not letting anyone get under your skin, your a nice person alex and all thats important is that you believe in yourself your marriage and far more important your family

Hi Alex, you are the most balanced housewife and have the most class! You never talk bad about anyone and I just love the relationship you have with Simon. Your - last name should add Alex Mcord NObullshit! Love your hair all puffed up, you are darling!

Thanks for a season where you kept your head, looked calm in a sea of insanity when we needed a port in the storm, for the well-written blog entries. All are so appreciated. Have a lovely summer and do stay in touch.

Alex,

Happy Anniversary to you and Simon, congratulations!
You have become my favorite this season. You are so down to earth and have more commen sense than all the rest put together. I am glad Bravo is finally showing the real you. I thought the scene at the reunion show where you clarified the incident between Bethenny and Kelly was completely exact. You broke it down and they all seemed to understand. Go figure... Hang in there. You are an awesome person and the show is better because of you!

Take Care,
Karen Smith

Alex...Your a class act. After watching this season, I have admired your dignity throughout the show. Stay true to yourself. Best wishes to your family.

alex i think you missed the point about your last name. Not changing your name is something that a stong independent girl would do, like bethany. Gloria was just commenting on the irony of someone who is so attached to their husband, but also keeps her last name. I don't think it was a dig, just a hmmmm moment.

Mott:

out of all the pathetic drama and hatred on this show you slam Alex for her husbands profanity? good grief, as if you never had a melt down? he is human and sometimes we just have to "Vent" the best way we know how. get a grip.YOU should be embarassed of your comment.

Simon & Alex

I would just like to thank you for being the "real" woman, and man on the show. You and your Husband are so delightful to watch, and I respect you guys for not delving into the pathetic, cruel behavior that the other woman display. You show the real meaning of a classy woman. The last season ALOT of people put you and Simon on the chopping block, but now you BOTH completly outshine everyone on that show. Alot of viewers who onced bashed you guys are now seeing that you both are the only normal people on this freakshow. God Bless you, and your wonderful family. ((((((((hugs)))))))) from California

Alex, I've watched both seasons and I have to tell you that I truly admire the closeness that you and Simon share. It is something to be admired, not mocked or be suspicious of. Regardless of what Ramona says, I feel you and Simon are the best thing about the show...and for what it's worth, Ramona "makes MY skin crawl." I also commend you for keeping your cool and coming accross as the most adult, disciplined and classy of the five at the last reunion show. I wish you well and look forward to reading your blog on Huffington. If there is a season 3, I hope you and your family will return.

You are the most level headed of the housewives. The way you handled being layed off, picking yourself up and still staying sane. I am reading your posts on the Huffington. You're doing a great job Alex, I can't wait to see what your future holds.

I agree with the other commenter, you summed up the Beth/Kel disagreement very well. I don't know why you aren't in the psychiatry or mediation field. You are very articulate and even tempered.

Like Joe in NYC, you went from one of my least favorites last season to a favorite of mine this season. It seems like we got a chance to see a little more of who you really are this time - a nice person who enjoys all of the craziness and publicity but doesn't take it too seriously. I've really enjoyed reading your blogs on HuffPo, too - I hope you keep on writing.

Alex, after seeing Real Houswives, Season 2, I think you and Simon are a great match and complement each other very well. You two just seem to get along great and share the same way of thinking and communication. I do think Simon is a little "eccentric" and you are more reserved and poised, but the two of you come across, I think, in the show as being very compatible with each other. I enjoy watching you.

Your poise, grace and gentle demeanor out-class all on the others. Continue to be who you and Simon really are. You are my fav.

Alex
As others have stated you were not my fav in previous seasons, I can only say now that I think you are as genuine as you can be on a "reality" show. Your marriage is an inspiration and your quirkiness (sp) is refreshing. The one thing I noticed about you at the reunion shows and this last show was your adorable giggle esp. when discussing Simon. Only one question....Did you put those red pants of Simon's in the charity bag to donate? :)

You are the most balance house wife on the show. I enjoyed you and Simon's relationship last season and I enjoy watching it now. It appears to be strong and grounded. What I like most is you area so removed from the gossiping, back biting, arguing and that my dear is refreshing. Simon's fashion style I enjoy watching. You two are true NY's because that is what its all about your own individuality.

Thank you for introducing me to the up and coming clothing designers in your neighborhood, that is a plus. As you both go to these designers I write down their names to seek them out in the future. Please list the designers in future blogs, this way I can look them up on the web. I'll tell them Simon/Alex sent me.

Hi alex,

You have become very likeable this season! You have certainly proved yourself to be the most real!
And thanks for calling bethenny out at the reunion. It's about time someone did!

Alex,

I must say you were truely a lady on the show this season. I love the way you are able to stay out of all the drama....well done.

Alex - You are a nice lady.....I could enjoy having lunch with you. At least you aren't catty about the other women. Ramona is just too much, and they aren't very nice to Kelly. Just keep on being yourself and enjoying your life (Simon too)....am looking forward to seeing you next season.

At first I was so disappointed that you did not get to speak much during the reunion show but after watching it, I'm glad you held back because it showed incredible class on your part. There was so much name calling and mud slinging and I'm glad you kept quiet so as to not be a part of it. You honestly came across as the most mature of the bunch.

alex,
you seem to think before you speak and your blogs make
sense. could you help kelly communicate or, when that fails, could you please show her
to the door?

Alex, you are the real thing. (& real housewife) You have something most people don't have, a sense of "HONOR' You speak when you have something to say and shut up,when you know there is no point. (like Ramona drama) You stand by your man,no matter what,or when. Simon don't push it to far. She is only human, I know to you she is a goddess. But it seems, Alex you try to balance a very complicated world. And congratulation, you do it well. Good luck in your new business adventures. You deserve to succed. You have talent, integrity,honor ( a word lost on most) and a sense of yourself in perfection. keep all of it and best of luck.
(oh PS. yes your children need good manners, I am saying this w/a smile, they should be seen not heard) pls. take this with humor.) If they are happy and healthy, this is easy.
I am sorry that the lost footage was lost. It should have been part of the show. It showed the real you Let all people live as they choose. let love guide their hearts and destiny. So glad you are open minded and open hearted.
Hope Bethany learned from you as all the others. You would be a great friend to have
( I hope she paid for your services ). Alex and Simon, in your hearts, you re more real,then all the rest. Choose your friends wisely. forget the rest you will make it on YOUR HONOR! LOVE VERENA
Spell check is not working, be kind:)

I think you are comfortable in your own skin, and that is why you married a person who feels the same way about himself. I wish people would stop trying so hard to put you and Simon into a box. Perhaps some viewers have never met persons from down under. I find most Aussie's don't worry about sexual identity. The others should live and let live.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! And many more. Just wanted to say how much I really learned to enjoy watching you and your family this season. Thank you for your clear minded, well spoken and balanced insight on your blog. Have a great summer with your family and can't wait to watch next season. As for the Huffington Post - GO ALEX! I'll be reading that also.

Ya know, in the past I have not been a great fan of yours. But the more I read what you write, and I assume that more of your personality comes out in your writing and especially how you handled yourself in the reunion with all the vitriol flying around, I find that perhaps you would be a person that I would want as a friend. Believe me, this surprises me more than anyone! I find that your personality (as much as editing and the cuts to Ramona's rolling, crazy eyes allows)is surprisingly balanced, warm and sane! Contrary to how you were portrayed in the first season, you seem...get ready....normal!!! I will continue to read and see how you develop as the seasons go on and you blog and write additional material. Oh...I have to include that I LOVE the personality trait that you described sharing with Simon, wherein you both like to antagonize people that say they are annoyed by you, by dressing outlandishly. That is so funny! What a GREAT nonverbal, nonconfrontational way to get back at "someone" (insert Ramona's name here!). Bravo to you and Simon!

I was not impressed with you and Simon in the first season of RHONYC, but this time around you seemed much more down to earth and normal. Perhaps it was a toning down on your parts or maybe it was all in the editing for a better show, who knows? Regardless, you came across as a much more pleasant, intelligent, & approachable person this time around. I do wish you the best with your new career ventures and all the best for your family, as well.

Alex you are proof that all the money in the world can not buy class. You are one classy lady and all the housewives in all area codes should be taking notes!

Alex - you and Simon have become my favorites on this ridiculous show I call my "guilty pleasure" --
and I love your two boys!! they are adorable and watching you all as a family just melts my heart...
Have a great summer! and know that you and Simon are the reason I'll keep watching this crazy show! (p.s. Simon is a hoot! with his red pants and dancing antics! love him!)

Alex - I was never a big fan of you two in the beginning of this season. But I have to say both you and Simon are the most "real" of the bunch. Basically, you stand out as individuals who live the life YOU CHOOSE and there are no games - okay, maybe head games which I enjoy watching you make fools out of these girls and of course Mario!!! Now that is a very scary couple, both Ramona & he can't decide what they want to be - good or naughty. Those are the folks you have to worry about..... Enjoy your time off - you know how to take the heat and still look like a smart, well put together lady!
