I've noticed that you & your husband have never said a mean word to any of the castmates even if they were putting you down. Impressive.

Alex, out all the housewives or wannabe housewife(Bethanny),you are the most leveled headed out of the bunch. Keep up the cool and relax behavior. Thanks for clearing the air about the obvious misunderstanding between Kelly and Bethanny.

Alex - you and Simon are great. He is so entertaining.

My only question, you say you are a graphic designer... well so am I. how the hell do you get to live the life you have on a Graphic Designer's salary???????????? I can barely make rent.

CAN A MAN WEIGH IN HERE? (Without Getting Scratched?)

No one should be “voted off the island.” You are all terrific NYC ladies that represent the best, albeit, at times, perplexing and complex women in America. But that’s what makes you so special!

A lady friend of mine finds this show particularly entertaining, so I must endure it if I am to pluck the most delicate rose from its thorny stem. (Personally, for the record, I prefer “Army Wives”).
Whether scripted or unscripted, it is very evident that you ladies took (and presumably, will continue to take this series seriously). You came, you hollered, you vented.

FROM A MAN’S PERSPECTIVE:

KELLEY

Completely, misunderstood. Kelly is a single mother only struggling with attempting to look after her own herd. Yes, her beauty carried her so far, yet she now finds herself on her own. She apparently, is navigating herself alone in a fishbowl of sharks (and by that I mean the mean streets of NY not the other cast members). I find it intriguing that some (blogs) accuse her of being jealous of others in the cast. Yet, isn’t she the one with all the “resources” as evidenced by Jill’s comment that Kelly has the “big beach house” in the Hampton’s and the “most expensive condo in Manhattan.” (Hmmmm?)

In any event, without Kelly, how could Bravo continue the (regrettable) feud between Bethenny (B) and Kelly? I would only tune in to see that outcome. A previous blog profoundly observed that it was B that arrived with an attitude because of B’s perceived slight that Kelly tried to steal her man in a prior circumstance. It is equally understandable how Kelly felt defensive about B’s attitude towards her (perhaps knowingly or unknowingly, the facts are unclear) when Kelly attended Jill’s charity event and called her “Madonna.”

In regards to the subsequent visit at the Bar (and yes, Kelly, you did look like you might have had a little too much to drink when you met with B – might this account for your frequent memory lapses?), I’m not sure why you did not let B speak, she was only there (and waited over half an hour!) with a sincere apology which you never gave her an opportunity to present... (Yikes! I cringe at that film – which is evidence in a court of law)…

But as an attorney, (which Kelly likes to point out that her Father was/is?), I would have expected better behavior. When confronted with an angry individual, I always aspire to find out why? Yes, Kelly should have handled that and other situations with B better. I would certainly hope that my daughter would do so. That being said, being bereft of social skills does not make you a monster nor does it make you eligible for disqualification. It makes you conducive of a candidate that needs to remain and learn from the process. I know that Bravo producers see this and none of the ladies will “be fired.”

Excuse me now, but a rerun of Army Wives is coming on and I need to wrestle my lady friend for the remote!

PS: Aside from my semi-defense of Kelly, Alex, I wish you continued success in pursuit of your endeavors. You and Simon represent the best of what is the Cosmopolitan culture that is the bedrock of America. Keep up the good work!.

I just saw the lost footage. It was very handy that you had a gay pair to vouch for Simon's heterosexuality by declaring they just love him but get no "gay vibe". Oh, really? They seem to be the only friends who agreed to be on camera with you guys, right? (Where are all your other many friends who envy you??)

Vibe or no vibe - Simon's taste is simultaneously laughable and sleazy (i.e. his shiny pimp jacket w/ red, "package accentuating" leggings). Your own wardrobe has much to be desired - even though you have paid vast amounts of gelt on it. Your dresses look like designer rags the way they just hang on your shapeless frame.
You both are truly the style impaired.

Alex, out of all the cast you are the one who seems the most articulate, calm and controlled. I think as some of the other viewers have commented on - you and Simon do keep it real - no pretenses with you. You are the diplomat on the show. I really am glad that you and Simon are on the show. It is nice to see a husband and wife clearly express their love and adoration towards each other.

Alex,

You were the only one who took the high ground and did not throw Kelly under the bus. Ramona, amazing...spending half the season kissing up to Kelly, trying to become her best friend...then the moment the other housewives turned, she dropped her sickening attempts to befriend Kelly. Ramona is the only truly mean-spirited amongst you. You should be commended for not jumping on the anti-Kelly band wagon!

You are lovely and the quintessential Libra when you are under fire. Love you and Simon! Hope you enjoyed dinner at Rouge Tomate this evening.

Alex,
I just finished watching the reunion show and I can't believe how rude Jill and Ramona were being towards you while they were having their spat about the tennis match. The way they were badmouthing you and Simon right in front of you during that fight was unbelievable. Well, I would expect it from Ramona. I hope Jill apologized to you after. If not, I would watch my back around her.

You really were, as usual, the only one who acted nicely during the reunion show. I sincerely hope you don't consider these women your friends for your sake. You know how the saying goes, with friends like those who needs enemies?

I just watched the reunion show and lost footage and I wanted to commend you and Simon on your parenting. I know you take a lot of hard hits for your wild boys - but I think you're doing great! And, we saw another side in how you're actually raising them tonight on the lost footage when your gay married friends visited. Simon's statement about raising them to be aware and accepting touched my heart. He took it a step further when he openly stated to your boys about men being able to marry men, etc. I'm from a small town in WV with two pre-teens and equality and respect is the foundation of our family! Again, people can say what they want about your parenting, but I say keep it up!

Alex, you seemed much more real this season, which was better. I am sorry about you losing your job. I think you can probably relate more to what the rest of the country is going through.

Alex, you are my favorite housewife. You are the only one who even boarders on being an AUTHENTIC person. Yes, YOU HAVE YOUR AIRS and YOU ARE A SNOB...but at least you don't lie about it! I also think you and SIMON are wonderful and I think your relationship and his flamboyance are both wonderful! I love Simon and think that you two are blessed to have found each other in this world!

Alex, you are altogether lovely and Simon is an Original (and that's more than ever could be said of some of the others. Rock on, Bella!

ALEX I THINK YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND ARE GREAT ON THE SHOW
YOU BOTH SEEM SO MUCH IN LOVE AND SEEM LIKE GREAT PARENTS
LOVE WATCHING YOU ALL

Hey Alex!!! I am a small town Kansas girl and I LOVE NYC! I hope to sometimes get out of this state as well. I was wondering where about in Kansas you're from??

Alex,
You and Simon are amazing and fabulous and i feel you both keep it very real. Your husband has the best style ever and i love that he's himself and doesnt care what anyone thinks. You are both extreme fashion risk takers and it is highly appreciated! i hope one day my husband and i can be like you both ha if i can ever find my own "simon"

WOW ALEX WHAT CLASS!! I DIDN"T KNOW IF I'D BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND YOU. YOU ARE A PRIVATE PERSON IN SOME RESPECT'S. BUT YOU ARE LUCKY TO HAVE FOUND TRUE LOVE. WE DID TOO 14 YEARS AGO. KEEP OTHERS IN YOUR PRAYERS BECAUSE THEY'LL NEVER FIND WHAT YOU & KNOW & HOW IT REALLY FEEL'S. ALL I CAN SAY IS YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN SAY "I HEALD MY HEAD HIGH & TRIED TO BE AS TRUE TO MYSELF AS I COULD BE" BRAVO ALEX, BRAVO!!!!!!

I really like you and Simon very much. You have been picked on but remain calm, which has to totally bug the rest of the cast. You was great on the reunion, I can't say that about the rest of the cast. I love it that you and Simmon appear more real on the show, than anyone else. I admire how during your apartment remodel you tuffed it out until the worked had been completed. It makes you more like the rest of the world. Your children are being all boys and they are a hoot to watch. LOL. Good luck with your new job and I look forward to seeing what you and Simon are up to next season.

Alex, I must admit last year you were not my fav housewife, but this year you showed such a different side of you that was quite refreshing and real. You are a lady and handle yourself very well when the claws come out. Hope to see more of you next season and good luck in your new career.

Alex--you are truly a class act. I loved the fact that you and Simon appear to be truly in love and lust with each other. Please don't let that fade. Good luck with your parenting book, I'll be looking for it. Stay true to yourself, your marriage and your family. You rock!!!!

I don't know how you were able to sit there for hours with those people - except for Kelly, who, like you, wouldn't sink to their level.
Boy, the patience you have.

Alex, I have to admit, Simon's sense of fashion makes me want to cover my eyes sometimes, but so long as he is cool with it and you love it, who really cares?
It sounds weird, but one of the things I admired about you the most is the way you were truthful about how you and Simon hooked up. Not many people would want to admit that, particularly not on National TV, but good for you for being honest!!!

You're attempt to mediate between Kelly and Bethenny was nice and all, except it didn't make sense. You were sticking up for Kelly, saying how she didn't mean to say, "I'm up here and you're down there", but she did. She followed that statement by saying something along the lines of, "so come up to my level". That isn't something you would say if you were just trying to say we're two different people. So, it had nothing with Kelly being inarticulate, she's just a mean mess.

I love you Alex!!!- U are the most professional, ,and the only one who knew how to stand up to Bethenny and all her snide remarks about everyone. You are the voice of reason, and your husband seems to be a very genuine person, who doesn't care about any ones opinions! Kudos

Alex,

I appreciate you and Simon, you do what you want with out applogy. I do think that you were too kind to Kelly during the reunion. She is not articulate in her discussions. But she also said in her personal interviews with regards to Bethenny and the Brass Monkey meeting that Betnenny needed a 'time out' and she didn't have time to 'mommy her'. That is clearly condisending and inappropriate to another adult.

I find it odd that there is such a disconnect between Kelly's speach and her supposed ability to write. Generally speaking, those that write have a better ability to speak and make their point without crying 'Stop, stop'.

To sum up, raise your boys the way you want and live your life according to what you want, to heck with the rest.

Hi Alex:
You were the most eloquent of the ladies on the reunion show. You looked fabulous and spoke so well, I was impressed. I thought your explanation of your son's behavior was valid; they were one and three, enough said!
Good Luck!

Oh Alex...there needs to be MORE of you and Simon. I love ya both! And I think many wives are jealous of that kind of loving adoring attention that Simon bestows on you. I love to see couples in love...but I really love to see INTELLIGENT Couples in love. Great job on the house!

Alex

You are a ture lady and showed it on the show.
I think what you and Simon have is great. You are always very sensible when you are thrown into turmoil. You have a relatinship with your hubbs that most women wish they could have. Jill has the same with her hubby, and that is nice.

I love your clothes and the way you portray yourself on the show

Godd luck on the show

I didn't really like you the first season. I thought you and Simon were trying to be something that you're not. It was probably the way the show was edited, because I loved you both this season!

Alex, I appreciate your thoughtful communication and sense of yourself. Of all the housewives I admire you the most because you do seem true to yourself, your family, your relationship. You are very well grounded and able to be a voice of reason without tearing others down. I wish you all the best your endeavors.

Alex,
You and your family are my favorite part of the show. I've NEVER written to a show or blog or anything. I just wanted to tell you that you & Simon handled all of the criticism so well. People in NYC are used to men being self centered pigs and Simon is exactly opposite. The women are jealous and the men are threatened. I can't believe how they were simon bashing all of the time! He's the best! They are jealous.

Alex, You r a delight to watch! I am a fan

I love you and Simon! I think you guys are the most "real" people on the show. You are working, DIYing your home, and raising your boys. Something that the rest of the world can relate too. You held yourself well throughout the show, and showed class.

I have to admit I definitely wasn't a fan from the first series - I thought you and Simon were over-achievers. And the children – sorry but unbelievably ill-mannered (I was horrified by there behavior that night at dinner) that when I heard in the second series you were writing a book on parenting you could have knocked me over with a feather. As the show progressed this year I warmed up to you as a couple. Okay still doubtful on the parenting I feel you do your best and I’m glad to hear the book is on your experiences and not on actual parenting advice. As one of the housewives I feel you’re one of the best for actually seeing as it is. You’re not as irrational as Bethany (gawd knows she can beat a subject to its death) and Jill. You gave Kelly a chance and I feel she deserved one at the finale. I didn’t like the way they all seemed to beat up on her, I thought the finale ended pretty badly to be honest, I wonder what the next series will bring. The best of luck to you and Simon, I hope the book is a success.

Alex you and Simon have always shown good character. I have never heard you bad mouth anyone behind their back. Bethany and Jill are the two worst. You and Simon set a good example for your boys.

Alex, I like how you assess situations before you react. You seem to be very well grounded, I hope you don't get caught up in the whole NYC thing. You should know better.

I still love you and simon and i wish you both the best. Simon was really funny on the final season with his dancing ( loved it). COngrats on the renovations!!

I really enjoyed you and Simon this season. I think you are fun to watch and good parents. Thats the most important job in life and I think you two have figured that out. Love the fashion too.

Alex - you are definitely the smart one.. I think it's great that you and Simon are writing a book about your experiences with your boys.Personally I think they are normal little boys,mine were the same, it is what it is. You nailed it with Kelly and Bethenny, you knew what to say and how to say it. Hope there is a third season.I think you are bright,smart and know where its at, and I love Simon,there is nothing wrong with being with your hubby all the time, my hubby and I spend all our spare time together when we aren't at work.Can't wait for your book to come out. Carry on first class lady..

Dear Alex,

I would like to respond to the reunion episodes of The Real Housewives of New York. It is hard for me not to compliment someone when it is due. I was amazed at your ability to keep composure during a dramatic, very heated discussion. I was also impressed with the way you negotiated between Bethenny and Kelly. I can see from your behavior that your children and husband are very lucky to have you. You should be very proud of your actions! Congratulations for becoming a role model of how to be an appropriate grown-up woman! Best Regards!

Hi Alex,
I love the show but im a not a big fan of blogging ,following,obcessingetc.I just wanted to say that at first i was thinking "What the hell are these two?"And only because your not my fav,but just because i share more personality similarities with other cast mates.My point is Toward the end I found the humor in Simon,I finally "GOT" him and he is friggin hysterical!!,but I must tell you after watching the reunion you have set me in my place and I am so envious with you class,public speaking,ediquitte and Ive never been so impressed with someone who expresses that they
are clearly "EDUCATED" and expresses so my class without even knowing it.Im so impressed with you well spoken class.Just wanted to let you know.
Laura Venterosa
Boston Housewife

I'm so glad you spoke up on this reunion show! Loved it when you said, "I'd like to weigh in". Last season, I was hoping you would let the other women know that they couldn't just say whatever they wanted to you. Much better this time!

After watching the reunion show for a third time I must say, that Alex handled herself with more class and dignity than any of the other housewives. I wasn't a real fan of Alex's during the season, but I was impressed with her presentation during the reunion show.

Hello Alex and Simon,
I think it is ridiculous for people to think that the husbands should not be part of the show, you can’t be a wife without a significant other. Anyhow, my husband and I are very close, he is my best friend and I love going out with him. I enjoyed seeing you and your hubby be affectionate and best friends on the show, you are both great role models for married couples today. I think you are great and so is your fashionable hubby. I wish my husband would be a little more fashion forward with his clothes.
I hope to watch you both again,
Iris

Alex,
I agree with your perception of the season as well as the reunion. You are a very good listener and don't speak until you have the facts straight and you are very diplomatic when you do so( something Luanne should take a lesson from you in). Kelly does seem to struggle when she is confronted and I do think she has difficulty expressing herself subjectively She seems to have a huge heart. And if it were not for the husbands on the show, I think it could get boring. I want to commend you for handling yourself with such tact during the reunion and look forward to reading your upcoming book that you and Simon are having published. Congrats on your new job and wish you all the best.

Alex -- I like you a lot this season; I even like Simon's crazy red pants -- hilarious. I hope they bring you all back for next season! So far I'm a little scared of the NJ housewives . . . .

Alex
Just learned that Bethenny was topless in a movie in 1994 called "Hollywood Hills 90028"
Apparently that means Ramona won't talk to her anymore.

ALEX WHAT A LADY YOU ARE, ALWAYS CALM & YOU LISTEN & ARE NOT RUDE- LOVE YOUR FAMILY ALSO THOSE BOYS DEAR LORD THERE ADORABLE & WHO DOESNT LIKE SIMON HE ADDS SO MUCH TO THE SHOW WISH I COULD MEET YOU WHAT A JOY THAT WOULD BE FOR ME PLEASE STAY WITH THE SHOW YOU ARE MY FAVORITE!!!!

You know just when I want to write you off as being fluff you turn around and say something truly insightful. You and Simon just need to work on being more real on camera. Tad bit stiff and it shows. Also, Simon should loose the red pants. No one needs to see those.

Just thought you were beautiful this season.You and Simon did a great job on your condo.Loved it.You are always the quite one and everyone's friend on the show.You and SIMON ROCK KEEP IT UP!

During the reunion show I was getting so annoyed with Bethenny, Jill , and that dam Luann. I was so greatful for your presence. You were the voice of reason. Thank God for Alex!!! You Rock!

I watched the show because it was entertaining at times. I did not have a favorite. I now say that if I was going to adopt a favorite it would be you. You are the only one out of all of these women that has an once of common since. YOU Go Girl! You Rock!!!! Team ALEX!!!

Alex,

You were perfectly fine at the reunion. There was more presence from you there than in both seasons combined. Finally, you had your own voice, to a point. Unfortunately, some of you comments sounded like they were lifted directly from Simon's blog. Obviously, you read it and paraphrased.

There was one minor glitch in your appearance at the reunion: your make-up was way too heavy. It made you look harsh and less attractive. Another odd & questionable thing about you is your laugh. Is it for real? It sounds like a creaky rocking chair that squeaks.

Hope you come back next season..you are my favorite,,and I love your little boys..Simon is a hoot!
you both are good together,,and I love your townhome in Brooklyn..I would choose that too, over Manhatten. More down to earth.

you are my favorite on the show , you seem to be the most down to earth and a good mom. My least favorite part of the show is anything to do with kelly, I watch this show with my little girl also an Alex she is nine your her fav also of course. I remember a part when Alex said mom kelly is running in the streets thats wrong ,Alex would never do that, she is a bad influence for kids with her bad habits and poor lisining skills, poor bethany she cant get a word in, they should consider recasting her. but you are a pleasure.

It's curious that you would call Bethenny "yellow" for talking about you behind your back (even though you brought up one party comment that Bethenny did say to Simon's face but apparantly you and Simon don't always talk) when you refused to vote for kicking someone off the show!

You two were the more younger 'real' couples w/ 2 'boy's that some don't have and I think were jealous for you real close relationship and individualism.

They were envious & jealous for what they didn't have.

I think Simon is adorable....he did grow on me; at first I didn't really care for him. And I think you are practical, altho maybe not so good at accepting constructive criticism. You conduct yourself well in tense situations. I think your boys need some discipline, Alex. We know you love them but they cannot run wild like they do, at people's dinner parties and events? In Jill's store? Someone with your grace and poise needs to instill social etiquette in your children. They are wild and unacceptably poorly behaved.
I look forward to enjoying you and Simon next season!

Alex,

The reunion show was a disgrace, watching three women gang up against you, Kelly and Ramona was horrible. It seemed like the three witches couldn't insult, sneer and attack enough.

The host was a complete fool that just let them attack and didn't make them explain their own words or actions. It was pretty clear that Jill and Bethenny weren't going to be questioned about anything they've done and when you tried you were just dismissed. They showed a very ugly side to themselves. You handled the bullies with tact and grace, good for you!

It is nice to hear a voice of reason about Kelly, it was disgusting the way she was attacked over and over. I actually look forward to seeing you, Kelly and Ramona next season but could care less about the three self righteous bullies.

Best wishes to you and your family.

You are a very beautiful, mature woman. Lack of parenting skills coming from a nutcase like Ramona? Please!

I absolutely loved you and Simon this season! The two of you are perfect for each other. I can see right now that you two will grow old with each other.

Alex,

I just want to say that for people to say that your husband is gay just shows that most people still aren't comfortable just being themselves and allowing others to do the same. Just because your husband doesn't fit into, and probably doesn't care to fit into, the stereo typical male role in life, doesn't make him gay. I know because my husband, although he isn't into fashion, rejects the stereo typical male role model of society and he is anything but gay.

On the show I saw in you both what my husband and I have in our marriage: mutual respect, equality, love, commitment, and SPARKS that never end! My husband is my best friend, my lover, my soul mate. He feels the same about me. We are perfect company for each other and prefer each other's company over anyone elses. I don't really care if I have my "circle of girlfriends" to escape with because my husband is my "girlfriend" in that we share everything. He doesn't see a need to have his "group of man pals" because I fullfill his every need in a friend. We aren't against having friends, and we do have friends, but our own friendship is very fulfilling.

I see that you and Simon have the same kind of thing. People think it's weird because they don't have it, so they don't get it! My husband is sexy and macho! But he is also sensitive, gentle, loving, and kind. I totally get your relationship with Simon. You are both role models for a good marriage looks like!

I wish you both many years of love.

Alex, Simon made me laugh so hard when he would dance .you seem to have real love with him.girl hold on to him. you too go good with each other.

Alex, by far, you and Simon are the most different from not only the other housewives, but also from this housewife, me. It took some time for me to warm up to you and Simon, but now I really enjoy seeing both of you, I think you both are lovely people, maybe a little weird, but very likeable, interesting and fun to watch. Simon makes me laugh...thank you both.

Hi there,
Just wanted to say the ladies were right - you are the smart one! You have a great life. You have a husband that adores you and great kids! Boys are crazy...but that is what makes them boys! I am glad you are strong and do not let any of the others bring you down...you and Simon create a very strong and united front! I think the others are a bit jealous of your relationship, so they react defensively....you just want the best for your family and it shows!

Alex, Alex, Alex....

You really surprised me this season. I could barely stand you last season but boy how things have changed. You now have my respect and I really like you. You are the picture of poise, intelligence, class, and confidence. You really shined through this season and rose above all the petty cat fighting. I even respected the fact that you played mediator with the whole Kelly thing and honestly I think you give the woman to much credit but that just shows how warm you are and that you want to see the best in people.
Congrats on your success and keep doing what you are doing with Simon because in the midst of all the seedy and sensationlized divorces on t.v. it's refreshing to see a couple who are not only partners but are still in love with each other after 10 years and 2 kids.

NOTED; TO ALL THE READERS,HEARERS,AND HATERS GET OVER IT !IT IS WHAT IT IS!THAT'S THE WAY WE ROLLED!LOVE ME OR HATE ME!!!!L.O.L!

Alex,

It really was refreshing to hear you speak, finally; (without the filter of your oppressive malewife).
However, you did sit mute for most of part deux. I think you nailed the whole Kelly vs Bethenny brouhaha on the head. Well done. Maybe you could be Kelly's interpreter.

As for your comments here that the men are entertaining when they are filmed, I beg to differ. Both malewives (Simonizer and Marry-OH) were catty vain, vacuous, self centered braggards. They insulted the other wives and each other frequently. That, my dear, is NOT entertainment. Of course, you think Simon's breathing is entertaining, right?

Your upcoming book on "parenting" is a joke book, right? The boys are rambunctious, or brats (tomato, tamahto)... I still picture each of them (at the same age) clinging to your leg as you tried to walk about. Your continued denials to everyone who has the same assessment will be born out in the near future, when you finally realize that they are truly uncontrollable and embarrassing.

Alex, you are the "cooler" on the show. Thank goodness for you and your quiet demeanor. I think you add the "sense" to the "nonsense" to the show. I was glad to see you take on Bethenney on the talking behind your back thing. It was absolutely true and needed to be said. That is what I appreciate about you, you are not the backstabber.

Alex, your behavior at that reunion was impeccable. You really kept your cool. In fact that show could be an educational tape on how to behave in those kind of hairy situations and you, alone, were a paradigm of grace.

Alex, If this reunion was a contest on grace and manners, YOU WON. Maybe you should write your own etiquette book. I listened carefully how you communicated and it was perfect by using your I statements and feeling words. The way you communicate is basic communication skills 101. Bravo Alex!!!

The question that should have been asked at the reunion and wasn't was , "Why is Ramona so jealous of your and Simon's relationship?" She has made it the targeted for her rudeness all seasons.
This is what appears to be her main problem. The fact that she blasted you, when Simon flew off to be with his Mother after his stepfather passed, for not going out with girlfriends. Well, it was ridiculous.
When you told her you were tired at the end of the day and just came home and had wine on the couch. Well, it was to much courtesy to answer that question. I would have said, "Sorry, Ramona if it intimidates you that Simon and I enjoy being with one another. I am so sorry that my husband and I focus on one another to the detrement of, wait no one! No one is harmed by our love and affection for one another!"
Her and her husbands marriage seems to be built on rudeness and back biting. I am sure she wishes mario catered to her like simon does to you.Her jealousy is ridiculous!
And the way she talked about your children. I bet she had Nannies to raise her one child! Because she surely didn't understand rambunctious little boys.
My only problem was with your comment about Bethenny. you and Jill seem to be the only two she constantly stands behind and defends. So, I was surprised to see you "call her out" on certain things. She was so appreciative of your work on the skinny girl logo and you said that you were thick skinned and could handle her sarcasm, but you obviously couldn't.
At any rate kudos to you for holding your own on the reunion! Hope to see you next season!

Just want to say that it is refreshing to see that your are always calm cool and colected even through all the drama that comes with the package.

Alex, I wasn't quite sure about you and Simon after the 1st season, but when I took a second look and really listened, I think you're both great. I always knew Simon was comfortable in his own skin and I love the fashion risks you both take. It's great to see 2 people who weren't necessarily looking for their soulmates when they met, end up finding just that. Thanks for being such a true lady during the reunion. Hopefully some of you rubs off on Ramona.

I agree with some of the veiwers who thought you were a little pretentious after the first season, but after seeing more of you and your husband in Season 2 I changed my opinion. You two are the most level-headed couple by far. All the women are great, but you can instill a sense of REALTIY(pardon the pun) in all of them. And keep your passion alive. With two boys PDA is promoted!

Alex, you were so cool during the re-union blow up. I love you and Simon and I think it's quite nice that you don't give into the chaotic way of some of the housewives such as Ramona. Wow, what is wrong with her?

When the first season started, it was kind of hard to watch you and your husband but you have shown your true colors and you are one classy lady.
I think you are very intelligent woman and very quite sweet.
Good luck to you and your family...

Very classy. You improved since last season...

Alex, I must say that you and Simon were a huge surprise to me. After viewing EVERYONE else's bad behavior (especially in that awful reunion show. God, that had me wincing), I really appreciated your silence and class. I think it's great that you and Simon enjoy spending so much time together. It was a pleasure to watch you this season. I wish I could say the same for the rest of the ladies. Their behavior was constantly petty, mean and vindictive. I don't think I'll be back for another season, but I wish you and your family all the best.

Alex ... I find both you and your husband absolutely adorable :) Message I receive from you 2 is that all that truly matters is your family's happiness!

Much Love & Aloha!

Alex,
You were great on the reunion show and during the whole season. I liked the way you got out and did stuff with your kids like carving the pumpkins. It showed that you both are down to earth for your children.
And by the way, I just love those Birthday earrings that Simon got you!

alex, i admire you so much, you are so classy, intelligent, never out of reason, i also have 2 boys like you, same ages.

Miss Alex,
You and your boys, Simon included, are the highlight of this show. Amidst the drama and backstabbing and lying, you and Simon can always be counted on to be calm, serene, and peace-loving. It's inspiring to see how in love the two of you are, and those who judge Simon on how he dresses and/or acts have yet to see that fact, or don't want to. Thank you for your refreshingly high level of intelligence, and your eloquence. It's a breath of fresh New York air.

I don't know why you are on that show? You are too sophisticated and well educated and are the only adult. If it's for the money or notoriety you could do better than being on a trash show like that. I hope the other women learn by your example.

Alex,

Your composure and grace made you a stand-out at the reunion. Out of all of the housewives, you don't gratuitously talk behind everyone's back; only when provoked have I heard you make a snarky comment - and even then, it's not really that snarky!

I admire the way you don't let the small things get to you. You (and Simon) have become my favs!

Alex: Unlike all the other housewives you never make an ass out of yourself...

Alex--I love the way you have so much grace and poise even when someone points the finger at you. I think it's wonderful that you were approached to write a children's book especially that yours is about the way children are and what to expect. Your place turned out to be fabulous especially from where it initially began.
Change subject--I think you pegged Kelly right, she is very inarticulate at times when it comes to confrontation. I think she is smart especially since she writes for a "high end" magazine. At the same time, she doesn't remember anything she said to Bethenny which is confusing.
I think Simon blends in very well on the show. He doesn't give off any vibes of being gay at all. He may be a little flamboyant in clothing at times but I don't see anything else. You two seem to be so in love and happy which is all that matters. I think it's admirable the way you allow Ramona's negative comments to role off your shoulders. I don't know what it is about you but she does not care for you at all and most of the time you smile through it. I personally could not take it.

I have to give Jill some credit--after jabbing at your children in the one-one-interview after the Zarin fabrics shoppeing trip--she did say at the reunion the children were young and overtired at the dinner party which ran late--pretty fair on her part or was she egging Ramona on

I saw the reunion the other day and you really are much more mature than the other women on the show. As much as you dislike the midwest, I think your upbringing there was really apparent, in that you didn't argue just to be heard. Louder doesn't equal right when arguing. I am impressed. Not everything about the midwest is bad!

Alex and Simon remain an enigma. A couple who enjoys being together all of the time. What other reason can the rest of the group have to dislike about you? I think the 2 of you are the least fake. Simon's accent lends a little to that notion I think. I hope your book does well and good luck on being self-employed.

I think you are awesome and I love the relationship you have with your husband. You are a very classy and pleasant. I wish you and your family well.
