Alex, love you Simon and te kids. You have more class than all the rest of them put together. I sometimes thinkthey are jealous of you and your life with Simon. Who would put that past them.You are more real and down to earth than nay of them and I think that's why viewers can realte to you. I know you are friends with Ramona, but can she tone down the talking about her businesses already we get it. Plus, truly she needs a filter on that mouth, especially when she is drinking. I think Sonja is alot of fun, but the rest of them you can keep. I loved Bethenny, and was sorry to see her go. Keep up the modeling you look great.

I think you are the BEST!

I haven't quiet figured you out but I do like you. I, however, would never every take the friendship of some woman who puts down my husband over my relationship with my husband. Sonjia is not your friend.

Alex,
You really have grown since the beginning. I no longer see you as a wannabe socialite. I think you have become more secure and this is what causes you to speak your mind about what you care about. Speaking your mind doesn't always win approval, but going with the crowd just to be agreeable is not real either. You really have become the real deal.

Husbands like Simon don't come along everyday. He worships the ground you walk on. Lucky you, and I bet the other women are jealous. I don't get that same feeling between Ramona and Mario. Continue to stand by your husband with your "friends". He worth 10 of each of them, and he is far less replaceable.

Alex,

You are the REAL DEAL. I like Ramona also. Other than that, there is no one on this show I care for. Kelly is odd, LuAnn thinks she is special and Jill showed me her true colors last year and I wont go back.

Dear Alex and Simon,

I think you two are wonderful! I am so happy for you, Alex, and signing and moving forward in your modeling! I think you and your husband are so down to earth and classy! I admire both of your work ethics, parenting approach and skills, and your unselflish contributions to charities, etc... You both are very deserving of the good things that come your way, and if anyone says different, they are just jealous! The both of you support and care for eachother so much, it honeslty brings tears to my eyes. It is nice to see that even in with in the spotlight and all the drama that comes with it, you two know that eachother and family is what is most important. I am truly happy for both of you and your children.

Alex, you're my favorite. I just have to say relax a little more in your photo shoots. Maybe work-out and meditate and you will do fine. Balance the yin/yang. You have such class and style and a wonderful husband and kids. Plus a great personality. You are blessed.

Can't figure out how this thing works.

Alex,
You have changed so much since the show started and I am so proud of you! I admire you and Simon. You guys have such a strong marriage and family. You guys are hard workers, good parents, big supporters of the arts, and charities. Alex, you are so smart and your modeling shoot was stunning! You really are a woman that has it all and you have not let the fame get to you at all. Don't ever feel like you have to turn your new found voice off.

I am also a working wife, mother, one who loves the arts, and charities but I have a hard time managing everything. I relate to you more than any of the other girls. Please write a book about how you juggle everything. I wish I could sit down and have a glass of wine with you.

A fan in NC

Alex, you and Simon are a great couple. with all your eccentricities you have flavor, class and most importantly your genuine and good people. I think you were too kind to Sonja, but then the viewers do not see it all. I wish you continued success in your business and many family blessings.

I lost my husband a year ago Dec. 18 th and his birthday was 24th of Dec. Everyone talks about you and Simon always being together. That is the we were.I would think of something for supper and he would call asking what I was cooking for supper. Same thing he wanted. I would think of something I need from the store and he would call. Do you need this? Our brains were always working together over so many things. Of all the girls on any of the house wives show, you and Simon do have the best marriage that truly seems to be real. My husband and I wanted to renew our vows for our 25th, but he was to sick, then I watch Romana renew hers ( for show) and not go for the honeymoon again. My husband and I lived a simple life but it included laughter everyday. He has told me a joke every day since we met and on the day he died, he still made me laugh! May God bless you both and keep the togetherness that you have now for ever!

Alex,

I think it is " G R E A T " , that you finally are saying what you feel.
Holding everything in is not Healthy.

I also love that you are still friend's w/ Bethenny, I am sure some of the
Gossip Girl's are not happy with that.

I LOVE Simon's new song! love love LOVE!!

Alex, you are one of my NYC favorite housewives. You are looking more stunning this year than ever! However, it wasn't very attractive when you went after Sonja. It was quite painful to watch.

Alex,

I think everyone is so happy for you that you found your voice but I have to say you hold unto to things longer than you should. You seem to clash with certain people just for the sake of clashing. I'm happy to see you have found a relationship with Ramona, but it seems to me like you allow what Ramona thinks to dictate what you think.

You were so quick to drop everything with Sonja, but why not with some of the other girls?

food for thought...

I agree with so many of the previous people. Forget about Sonja. It was so evident in the show that she felt the Gay Marriage event was all about her. Everyone knows it wasn't. Who in the world would have such an inflated ego that she could be the only one at the event to speak. I also say shame on the people who let her be the only one to speak. Her speech, as you stated, had nothing to do with gay marriage. She clearly had not prepared for the speech. Made no sense. What a shame since it was such an important event.

If I were you I would make my feelings made once then take the high road and drop it. You know what is right and that is all that matters. Everyone with a brain who watches the show knows also.

Alex, I think you're great. Though I hope from watching yourself on the show you will see your posture and how badly you slouch. Not flattering. Stand up straight, it will suit your whole new attitude perfectly ;)

good for you Alex. You be the bigger person and just drop that situation with Sonja. She'll never agree with you and she obviously doesn't see it like many of us. She could have included whomever wanted to speak, to say a few words. It wasn't about her. Anyway, I'm glad you did that. At first, I was worried that you were changing and going to be this negative, argumentative person this season. that is getting so boring.

Alex, you and Simon had come so far last season. You've had a rough start this time and I hope things improve.

I used to live on GI when my husband was in the Coast Guard. I felt so privileged, and agree that it is a hidden gem. I get very nostalgic whenever I see footage of it. We brought our kids to GI once it was open to the public, rented bikes and had an amazing day. We even saw a turtle swimming in New York Harbor. Something I had never seen before! I truly miss the stunning views of the World Trade Center, and it is a sad and constant reminder of how things have changed.

One feeling I keep having about you and Simon this season, it is obvious with both of you freelancing that income is a priority. I'm tired of feeling like I'm watching Home Shopping Network when I turn in. Just be yourselves, drop the drama and the sales plugs, and all will work out. Cheers!

Alex, in addition to Bethanny, you have been my favorite NYHW in previous Seasons, as you seemed unpretencious, level-headed, down-to-earth, confident, intelligent, & real. However, this Season, I don't like the Alex that I am seeing! I don't know if it is editing or not, but it appears that you are trying to hard to fit-in & climb the social ladder. Not that I would ever agree w/the likes of Jill Zarin, but something is certainly different about you. Just be yourself & don't try so hard to fit-in, especially w/the likes of your shallow castmates.

I like you, Alex. You seem real, classy, and genuine. I just wish you would find some "real" friends...friends who don't talk about you behind your back, who don't insult your husband, or belittle you for not having as much as they have. Trust me, you have much more than these ridiculous women will ever have: a loving husband, beautiful children, and a real sophistication about you that these broads could only dream of...especially the "countess"! Don't try so hard to be their friend, they don't deserve you! Oh, and Jill is not worth your time...so please, don't even try!

Love you and Simon and your family. Some of your castmates can't stand it; but I love your new voice. Never lose it as you are geniune and kind.

I like you Alex, but this episode I agree with Cindy's blog about your birthday party, it would be nice to let your guess know what they are expecting when it comes to food, drinks, location and weather, especially if your guess will bring their kids with them.

Alex,

You truly are a class act! You're my favorite housewife this season. Luanne needs to take a page out of your book. Keep that voice you have found. It is honest, intelligent and real.

Alex found her voice YAY!!!!! LOL@ Herman Munster shoes and you said, they are Louis Votton and Luann said, "well anybody can make a mistake" I was like DANG. Continue to stand your ground.

ALEX!
I FEEL THAT YOU ARE TO FORGIVING, I WOULD OF STUCK UP FOR MY MAN TOO. I FELT THAT SONJA WAS WRONG FOR NOT LETTING SIMON TALK.

DO YOU JUST LOVE SIMON'S SONG, ALEX???????!!!!!!!!!!
AND I BET THE BOYS LOVE IT, TOO!!!!!!!!
You must be SO PROUD OF THE MUSICAL ACCOMPLISHMENT and the SOCIAL ACUITY with which this song was WRITTEN, AND SUNG, by MR. VAN KEMPEN.
Simon, outstanding social commentary and maturity.

Alex, Sonja was wrong in so many ways. She treats you like your below her. Jill also overreacted at the parade. She was obviously seeking attention. Stay strong. Stick with Ramona and Cindy. They seem like they are the only "real" housewives.

You are the best housewife..maybe the others are just jealous because of the wonderful relationship you have with your Husband and children ! You are a inspiration for all working mothers.

Simon is that he is very thoughtful husband and he adores you. How Blessed!

Alex, you were so right regarding your evaluation of the happenings with Sonja. She tried to make herself the focus of attention and this was not about her. She wouldn't allow you to speak at her home because she knew you were right. She is soooo self-absorbed; she thinks a little too highly of herself.

Oh my goodness......your photos are stunning......I was surprised.....you are a beauty we all know but those pictures.......knock out!

My husband and I really enjoy your segments on the show. You are the most sincere and sane one in the bunch, followed by the countess, but she just doesn't live a relatable existence but is very sincere in her delusions of granduer. I get that you are patient and forgiving enough to move forward with most relationships, but you defintely have a more difficult time with the cast members that act like they are better than you or hold a high "class" distinction of some type (Jill and the countess). I get why you have fun with Sonja... she is relatable in that crazy kind of way and she does not, usually, assume to be overly special in the moment. I hope that you hold true to form all season long.

Alex,

Girl you are a better woman than I! Because there is no way I would continue to be friendly with Sonja after the way she behaved. Keep doing you!

As always, you and Simon both showed the other ladies true class 100% of the time. I wonder if the other ladies are jealous at times that you have a true soul-mate to share life with. Not every husband and wife have that kind of perfect connection, and it's beautiful to see that you and Simon do (my hubby and I are that lucky, too!). Keep on doing what you do! :-) xoxo

Wow! The photos are gorgeous! You are very photogenic!

Alex - you are truly as real as they come, and your husband is as well. Love to see a real family and love,to see the wonderful relationship you have with Simon. Your boys are the greatest! Sweetie you are a class act and there is nothing wrong with your manners. Cudo to Simon - love his song! Stay strong you too! Wishing the best.

Duh. We normal people, who have happily and naturally had children, need to see "normal" people like you model. KUDOs to you.

Ohhhhhhhh, and by the way, I like your "voice." Don't discard it because the crown thinks you should. wink wink.

I love Simons single, its charming and catchy and he has the best voice of
all the house (ahem) wives!
You also make a great model and the hair was actually fine with your dress.

You are beautiful, genuine, and still my favorite housewife. You and Simon are the reason I watch the show!

Alex, you are the best! You are the only reason I watch the show.

Alex:

You've done a fantastic job at maintaining your style when those around you act like fools! Sonja really dropped several notches in my view with her absurd excuses for her behavior. She will never let you address the issues that happened because she cannot admit she was wrong. So let it go and Sonja can continue to embarrass herself with her transparent behavior!

Great song, Simon!

I really enjoyed watching you so far. You have been real and upfront. You're no longer afraid to speak your mind and I think that the other women can't handle it because you never did in seasons past. Also, you seem a lot more humble than in the past because you used to come off as being a bit snobby but no more. What you see is what you get. If the other women can't handle the "REAL" Alex than they don't deserve to be friends with you. Also, it's nice to see that Simon isn't so much an arm accessory this season. This shows real growth. Best of luck to you and your family.

Alex:
After reading both of your blogs and watching the "marriage march" episode twice now, I think I feel pretty comfortable making my assessment and opinions known. First of all, it seemed like Sonja was REALLY excited about being asked to be the "grand marshall" and in as much as she was that, it was her day, to that degree. You started out being friendly and "going" along with her excitement. When you and Simon found out only Sonja was going to be speaking, that's when things went downhill. You and Simon were both obviously (and understandably) unnerved that you were being silenced. The organizers apparently made things worth by putting the option of Simon still speaking on the nervous pre-"moment" Sonja. When you and Simon tried confronting Sonja about it, it didn't seem like she thoroughly understood why you were asking "HER" if YOU could speak. She didn't seem aware that they'd told you it was her who could allow/not allow Simon to speak. If those in charge had said to Sonja "Hey do you mind if Simon says a few wards??" she probably would have said OK. Or, maybe not, but either way, we'd have had a clearer understanding of things. The way it went down, Sonja seems selfish for not letting Simon speak, but you and Simon also seemed childish and slightly rude. I realize he had planned on speaking, but Sonja was asked to speak and part of the agreement contingent upon her agreeing to speak was that no one else from your group would speak but Sonja. You and Simon don't have to like this fact or agree with it. But MENY made THAT choice because that's how much they wanted Sonja to "speak" or lead or whatever. If anyone was wrong it was MENY for pushing Simon out of the way for Sonja and then blaming it on Sonja. I don't care if Sonja is the one who stipulated that she'd be speaking alone or not, that isn't relevant. What is relevant is that MENY agreed to these terms with Sonja, so nobody should've come to you/Simon saying that he could speak if only Sonja would give the OK. They should've apologized to you and Simon and explained that they made the agreement with Sonja already and were sticking to it. She should never have been placed in a position to have to decide whether or not to let someone else speak at the last moment. If she had said yes, it could have backfired because she was the "grand marshall" and if she said no, it makes her look selfish. The truth is she was very excited and nervous and honored to be the grand marshal and to make a speech and I think she felt like Alex and Simon were really taking it too far once they were told she'd be the lone speaker. Disappointment is one thing. But to practically harrass Sonja about it right before she's speaking was overkill. At her townhouse the next night, she was in the wrong for bringing it up and it did seem obviously dismissive when she feigned amnesia as to what Simon's name is. Overall, though, I think Sonja handled the situation better than Alex. Alex, let Simon fight his own battles and stop being so combative. Being honest about how you feel doesn't mean you have to be rude.

Everyone ahead of me said it all! You have about the only real adult perspective when it comes to handling some problems. Taking the "high road" with Sonja was the right way to go. If it had been someone else and Sonja...things would have skewed differently.

Also...absolutely LOVE Simon's song! It made me smile. Someone said his voice reminded them of Pierce Brosnan's in "Mama Mia".

I would have loved to come to your party on Govenors Isalnd. Just check the weather and dress for it. I don't get the others whinning about it.

LOVE-LOVE Simon's video. He sings very well and I like that he put the words in like a kareoke song.
