Season 3
Season 2
Season 1
Hope everyone had a great 4th of July! Simon and I have been hibernating with the kids, gardening, and cooking up Cajun feasts. I was thrilled to see a fan come up to him on the street to say "Hey man, I love your song!" Download it and the Thug in a Club Mix.
What did we see this week? Moms and their daughters, all of whom are growing up. I particularly was touched by Avery’s English composition about Ramona; what more could you want to hear from a daughter?
We saw Sonja being waited on at Pat Field’s by her doppelganger. . .but male. I have to say he/she was pretty fabulous. It was a bit strange to see Ramona and Sonja talk about Simon tweeting, particularly when they've both said they had no idea what was going on, even in their blogs months later. Funny what people will say.
On to the burlesque party, and I loved it, though not everyone got it. I'm sure by the time this blog is posted we'll have had plenty of soft-porn or granny-porn public service announcements from the brunettes via Twitter, since the first dancer got down to her pasties and most of us followed the dress code.
Sonja's performance seemed so liberating, and was a great end to the night. Had to laugh at Jill's guilty conscience over the snitches line; I think she actually had an honest moment for a change. Too bad some of the girls didn't see Sonja's point -- when the night is dark and everything looks hopeless, slip on a banana peel and make them laugh. Did they never see Singing in the Rain as kids?
You are the only sane one. Keep being yourself!
Alex, I really like you. You and Simon are real people, you care about family, and you don't care as much as some of the other women about being superficial and keeping up appearances. It is unfortunate that the other women can't learn a thing or two about communication from you. I do, however, caution you on getting caught up in the cat-fights even if only to get more camera time. Be real, stay true to who you are. Retain some integrity :)
It's my first season to watch. Sometimes I think u have good intentions but then u go off on the brunettes just like Ramona n Sonja. It's like the brunettes are trying to live, love n laugh but u "blondes" are ALWAYS brunette bashing. U put on a langerie show for ur husband on national tv but bashed Luann singing about class? Really? Maybe if u spent less time w Ramona and Sonja it would b better.
I understand you supporting your husband but realistically he needs to get his own friends. I would back my husband also but I have to say he has his own friends and does not get involved with mine. He has been a little ugly on his gossip blog. I like Simon but think he needs to step aside and support you by not stirring things up. I have to agree with Jill on one point - my husband would not like my friends husband inviting me to lunch to discuss our friendship. My husband is not at all the jealous type but down here in the south it is not appropriate. Keep smiling Alex and say what you need say. The motto that I live by is one that I developed many years ago "A true friend will tell you what you need to hear - not necessarily what you want to hear". That shows that you care for your friend enough to tell the truth.
Alex, I love you and Simon. Keep having each others back becouse that is whats bothering people. Huggs to the kidds. Much love,
Alex, I love you and Simon. Im really glad you have his back and he your's. Keep up the good work!!! Much love to the kidd's.
Alex, thank God you are on this show. if you were to get your own show as did Bethanny, I would totally stop watching the NY Housewifes and watch you and Bethanny's show.
Luann thinks she is 2011 version of Dear Ms Ediquette, well unfortunately someone forgot to tell her that being married to a Count doesn't give you "Class or status" it's earned and she's got a LOOOONGGGG way to go.
These women dont "do something" because the "Want to" it's because they took a pole to see who's going and who's not. They want a who's who party or function not to do something because of the person.
Bravo needs to get you and Simon your own show. maybe meet with fans like doing a book club with a twist . fans meet you at a certain location, and do like a leture/discussion session. i truly think you and simon are a breath of fresh air and could elighten people on so many topics.
Alex, I think u and Simon r the only honest and nice people onthe show. I would watch my back with LuAnn tho, she loves playing the phony friend to all of u,when she is really keeping the hostilities u all have from show to show with each other going.
You say if there is no Jill and Simon, there is no Jill and Alex, YET, you insist you are your own person and have girlfriend relationships outside of Simon. Well that is the biggest contradiction in housewives history. So which one are you?
Alex,
Your blogs are always such a refreshing break from the rest of the self- justififying, blameshifing drivel that I read on some of the other ladies' blogs. Don't think that Jill's high school machinations and Luann's blind arrogance are lost on us viewers, at least most of us (as the polls on Andy's show constantly reinforce). If you ever leave, I won't be able to watch this show any more.
Alex, Over the years on the show you have totally come in to yourself. You and Simon are soooo real and refreshing. Unlike Jill and the countess, who profess their manners, you embody them. If you have a conflict w/ the other housewives, your approach is alway not to step on their toes (except the Bethanny message , which I know you've grown from!!) Keep up the good role model.
You and your family are refreshing. You guys are a fun, interesting and very eclectic couple. Love watching you guys!
I am so glad someone on this show tells it like it is. I get tired of the hokey pokey fake conversations. Keep it real and don't bite your tongue.
Alex, you are the only reason I watch New York housewives. I prefer New Jersey and Beverly Hills. It just isn't the same without Bethanny and I think you and Ramona are the only ones left watching. Kelly needs help, Jill and Luanne are MEAN! Sonja has her moments! Cindy is just down right selfish!
Dearest Alex,
You rock! I tune in each week to see the lovely lady who does Brooklyn proud. You're smart, funny, kind, and beautiful. Don't let the haughty and the deceptive get you down. Your lovely, REAL life with sweet Simon and your adorable boys is where it's at. Francois's mom has got it going on!
Love ya!
P.P.
Alex, you are A=MAZING! Love you and your family. Keep being classy and let the high school brunettes do themselves in all by themselves. I cannot believe how low Jill and her ilk will go to get rid of someone. It backfired in a BIG way with Bethenney and now you...all incredibly sad and unnecessary. Still hoping for a Silex Show!!!
Alex,
You rock!!! Your an honest personality. I can relate to you. Things have been a bit strange this season but people should know that you and Simon are the definition of unusual. That is what is so cool about you. Don't let Jill or Luann under your skin. What is up with you and Kelly?? She is a wackadoo!! Can be fun, a lot of fun. Trust someone with experience whatever highs you get with her can't compare with the lows that will come....eventually. Careful, just be careful. I think that your family is probably the less wealthy of all the housewives and that is why they always try to keep you in line. Don't take it if you can help it. I understand as best I can. On your team!!!
apple pie
I agree with RosieRose who posted on July 11th.
You seem to try and mediate and get to the true nature of why the others are fighting. You are a very good communicator and I wouldn't be surprised if you had either had some counseling in your past that taught you how to communicate effectively and fairly, or had some exposure in college.
there are words and cue that you seem to understand and use to help others. Too bad they don't always understand that or take the opportunities you give them.
I Heart You. : )
I think Jill was put in a very awkward position. of course you will always take your husbands side but, in my eyes, the situation was extremely inappropriate. I hope another husband never addresses you in the same manner, even if you are bashing his wife. awwwkward
Hi Alex
You are the only reason I still watch this reality show. In my opinion you do not come across as someone who will "bash" at others and choose to seek understanding. I have to say, I hated watching other grown adult women resort to very high school communications. Some highschool bullies grow up into adult bullies. You can always tell. Anyways, I would love to see you doing more videos and interviews. Good luck!
I really really enjoy your blogs. And, I must say, I don't think you bash Jill. You certianly call her out on her bad behavior but I say about darn time. Why she thinks she can say one thing, and then do the opposite is beyond hypocritical. Bravo Alex. Without you I wouldn't watch this show any longer.
Anyone who says you are "bashing" is probably "Team Brunette" and doesn't like truth or non-dramatic fact-sharing. It's clear you are in a position to feel as though you need to defend your husband by telling the REAL story. If these women are trusting of a woman who went online under an alias to bash people who gave a less than stellar review on her own book, well, I think we know you don't need them anyway.
Alex,
Why do you allow the other ladies to talk over you when you are trying to get YOUR point across. "PLEASE PUT THEM IN THEIR PLACE".
Alex, I wasn't so sure of you the first season but you haven proven yourself to be a genuinely caring, unassuming, reasonable and insightful woman. You do get caught off guard by the absurd comments and rude insinuations of some of the other housewives and probably need to practice some strategies to deal with them more effectively. I also think you should stay away from intervening on behalf of others and defend them instead with positive and supportive comments. Lastly I am glad you do not film your children too often, they ( especially your oldest) seem uncomfortable with direct contact in front of the camera. I think you are a remarkable person and I wish you well.
You know Ms. Alex... I've always liked you from the get go... Housewives protrayed you as the Newcomer in the first season, trying to climb the ladder...
However, i've seen that you've held your own. Been able to articulate yourself in this past season without getting flattened by all the craziness... What I most like about you is... you have a level head, are very grounded, and most and foremost, have compassion... A true friend... One that I wish I could have...
It must be hard to put up with such a, "Higher than Thou attitude" when it comes to wealth & prestige... But, it is what it is... You hang in there girl... I'm rooting for you... You've got much to deal with... I look forward to seeing more...
And... I gotta say, your facial expressions say it all... You have a strong core... Hold your tongue better than I could ever...
Take care & just keep being you....
Aloha from Hawaii...
Yes, although I'm living in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, a half world away from you... We still have Cable... LOL!
MUAH!
Glad you're keeping it honest. You're awesome. Stay real Alex.
Well said, shows how smart you are!!! Love you on this show!
Yours is the blog I go to for the truth.....thanks!
Love, love, love you!!!!! You make the show!
Out of all the housewives, I enjoy you and your family the most, viva Brooklyn!!
Alex, you're the only one on this show who has her head screwed on straight. Good for you that you stand up for yourself.
Enough already with the on-going essays and the Jill bashing.
I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE WITH 'AMAZON2U' ENOUGH ALREADY SMH!!!
Loved Willco's comment...
Amazon2u...get off Alex's blog..witch.
Alex...you are the classiest by far.
Like I said to Jill in my comment. I like you all better when your not bashing each other in your blogs.. Hopefully you will change and move on!
Ok Alex, I am so tired of the brunette bashing that goes on. It is ridiculous. If you don't have anything good to say don't say anything at all! If you do not like Jill o well, and move on
When the women asked you to ask Simon to stop with the tweeting, you refused saying they should go to him directly. This week we see Jill go to him directly and then you rant in your blog about how wrong she is. Can't help think you are re-inserting yourself through your blog since you were pretty much left out of this episode LOL
I am sorry to say you really can not expect people to "see your side" when all you do is bash and comment in the negative on those you don't like. We get it you don't like JIll. You don't like Kelly. You don't like LouAnn. Move on.
I find it absolutely amazing how you were able to forgive and become such great friends with Ramona and Sonja after the way they treated you and yet you keep bashing Jill..for what? Did you forget the awful things Ramona and Mario used to say about your family???
You're getting a little weird for me this season...I think your behavior is to get more camera time because most people don't get as involved as you do with other people's issues, but then you're real quick to say "You have an issue with Simon, take it up with him". Take your own advice and butt out of the other girls' business.
Thank the Bravo heavens for Alex!! Not only do I love to watch you on the show, but LOVE to read your blogs and receive your tweets. You are funny and both you and Simon are VERY forgiving. over and over and over and over again! I'm not exactly sure how you do it but you set a great example for others. Maybe one day they'll see how happy you and Ramona are and try it themselves :) Fingers crossed.
Alex -- you really need to tell Simon to take a back seat to the housewives ... as much as I believe he isn't responsible for the hate tweets, it's just plain annoying that he gets more air time than some of the housewives. Enough of him already.
love your blogs..you seem even handed on things. i on the other hand am a little biased , as far as snarky comments or attitudes go . and i dislike the "team" which ever side thing but some dark haired women seem to believe and act as if their station in life is entitled ! or they are constant victims , or just plain out there clueless. my sister in law has been at a couple of business events you also were at and says you are a lovely woman ( i agree from how you come across on the show ) . just stay as sweet and "authentic" as you and simon are...will keep following you two on twitter !
I.LOVE.YOU. I've watched this show from the start, and I love your evolution. Please come back!
Good on you Alex. You and Simon are the most "real" of any housewife on that show. You and Simon are very much in love and it still shows. btw/
I saw Simon a couple of summers ago on 31st. He is much taller and more handsome in person!
Read Sonja's blog. She is not nearly as irate as you are about Jill's contradictory comments about Sonja's burlesque song and dance. Sonja lets things flow.You, on the other hand, hold on to things and stew. Enough, Alex. Mind your own business and you will simply feel less encumbered.
Bravo please post. You never post my comments!
Alex, Alex, Alex.....every week you are on Jill. This week Jill only said one thing about Simon and that is she is glad this is done and she is ready to move on. I just want to list a few things I noticed about last nights episode and the one previously.
1. Last night when Jill, Simon and Jill's husband was sitting talking. You came over with such a look of dislike on your face for Jill. Jill had to tell you that they were not fighting and the look you gave her....boy if looks could kill.
2. Last week you said to your husband that you don't like Jill, never did from the beginning. Simon was the one who was good friends with Jill. Hmmm....is this dislike because your husband hit it off with her
3. Last week you also told Kelly that you don't tell Simon anything and you are not getting into this text business. Yet last night you rushed over to get in the middle of the conversation with Jill and Simon.
4. I need to strongly remind you that from the beginning Jill was the defender of Simon when Bethanny and Ramona made snarky comments about him. Remember when Ramona threw that fit when Simon came to the dinner. Yet you forgave them for all that meaness. Jill has not even done half of what those 2 did.
So what is the real issue for your hatred, yes I said hatred, for Jill?
Jill is trying and I dont think she is as bad as you make her out to be.
