  2. Hello Alex! I was watching one of the episodes of the New York HW and noticed that Bettheny asked you for graphic design and I was wondering if you do contract work. I would like to enhance the logo of http://www.clasificadosenflorida.com to be more sophisticaded and eye catching.

    If so, i would like to know if you can help us with this. I can be reach at the email provided or our office 407-429-4960.

    Thanks in advance for your consideration and cooperation.

    Look forward to your response.

    Sincerely,

    Javeir Rodriguez

    YOU ARE THE UGLIEST HOUSEWIFE ON ALL OF BRAVO AND YOU ALSO TOP AS “MOST ANNOYING”.

    I WANA THROW UP EVERYTIME I SEE THE PREVIEW CLIP WITH YOU SAYING “THUG IN A COCKTAIL DRESS”. THE WAY YOU HOLD YOUR MOUTH AND TONGUE ARE REPULSIVE. DO US ALL A FAVOR AND GET OFF THE SHOW.

      What an awful thing to say. You may not appreciate her beauty but your rude hurtful comment is neither warranted or wanted. Alex is a beautiful, vibrant, giving woman, a great Mom and friend. She does not deserve to be talked to like that. You must be very young and immature or mentally unstable. Normal people don’t write things like that. Keep it to yourself.

      Connie, you’re a shallow hateful human being. The fact that someone’s looks are all you find value in tells us all we need to know about you. True beauty has nothing to do with looks, and Alex and Simon both have that in abundance. They are the only ones on RHWONY who actually seem to care about the causes they support. It’s all about socializing and having their name and face on something for the others, except for causes that directly affect them. Simon and Alex seem to genuinly be good people, not pretending to be like the others.

      With Bethenney gone, Alex is the only one that doesn’t act like a self-centered snob. She’s also the most intelligent by far. Personally I think the show would be unwatchable without her. I love that both Alex and Simon have the guts to be themselves. Like their choice of fashion. It may not be my cup of tea, but they are being true to themselves, and that’s what matters.

      Last but not least is their incredible dedication and love for each other. The other ladies would do good to follow their example.

      Connie, You envoke the I’m Rubber and your Glue response. People like you crack me up. You must so miserable in your life that you actually have to seek out someone else on the web, where you are faceless, and try and tear them down. I hope your life gets better soon.

    I agree with Connie. Well said.

    @connie: WOW! I’m kinda thinking that you might be one of the houswives that perhaps dislikes Alex…. what does anyone else think? (Kill Jill?) I am amazed that someone could say this, but to each their own. I do clearly see Alex differently than Connie. I appreciate Alex’s honesty and gusto to ensure that those who stomp on her (and fam) know about it. I’m glad that she found her tongue this year. Sonya was my favorite last year…. but as fame goes, it either enhances one’s outer and inner beauty…. or it bites one in the butt before you even know it. One thing about being filmed…. lies catch up sooner or later…. and SONYA… THE LYE BUG BIT YOU. Alex: I do want to thank you for leaving the comment on from Connie. It shows that you accept “constructive” (If you call what Connie said) criticism on your blogs… unlike Kill Jill… who deletes them on BRAVO and her site. THANKS!

    Wow! I am a proponent of the adage that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I do not think that Alex is a classic beauty. I do, however, think that she is striking, even stunning! To me, I would rather be a stand-out for being aesthetically different than a run of the mill, a dime-a dozen version of “pretty.”

    Aside: Alex, please consider going back to that beautiful rich (as in depth – not wealth) and sophisticated red hair color. Blonde is okay on you, but the red hair color donated a certain assurance, strength and fire that was captivating.

    As for being annoying… who the heck has not had their moments? So what, such is life! Alex, you rock because you strike me as being a great mother, wonderful spouse and a good friend (to those who deserve that honor). Do you, girlfriend. There will be slip-ups along the way but they build character.

    Alex, I have watched your growth over the seasons and appreciate you for allowing us (the world at large) to observe, or experience vicariously, the evolution. You are an inspiration to many. I am a woman who is stepping out on faith to build a business and write a book. I am not yet a mom or wife, but I aspire to be. I like that you seem to be a good model for those who choose to do all of the above. Nobody is perfect and I would be suspicious, and disappointed, if you were being promoted as such. It is better to be an authentic & fallible person than one who is a hypocritical cardboard cutout version of “perfection.”

    Just do you and let the chips fall where they may (or as the cool people say “let the haters hate)…

    Hi Alex,

    I’ve enjoyed watching you and your family. Unfortunately, in the past couple of seasons, the RHONY and the other ‘Housewives’ shows seem to be more about promoting catfights than examining the challenges faced by interesting women in the home, workplace and social environs. It’s also quite troubling that one member of your cast has returned to the show, when this person is so obviously unstable. This person and her mental fragility should not be on public display. Perhaps there are legal entanglements at issue, but her presence seems exploitative and wrong, and I don’t think I can watch what happens….

    Please accept my very best wishes for you and your family,
    Molly

    Alex & Simon,
    I really like the new blonde haircolor on Alex. That shade of blonde is beautiful, & it looks great on you! I also like that both of you are fashion risk-takers. It shows that both of you are brave & willing to try new things. Also, I really wish Simon would have been able to speak at the MENY march because I think his speech would have been heart-felt & relevant. It’s obvious you two truly care about marriage equality, which is refreshing. As for your boys, they are beautiful & fortunate to have such great role models as parents. They are growing up so fast & are so adorable! Bravo for being such dedicated parents!

    “To be nobody but yourself in a world that’s doing its best to make you somebody else, is to fight the hardest battle you are ever going to fight. Never stop fighting.”

    Dear Alex and Simon,

    That above is a quote I read in a book that Nancy Spungen’s mother wrote about her daughter, who dated and died in her relationship to Sid Vicious of the Sex Pistols. The quote describes you both, and GOD Bless You for being brave enough to be as authentic and original as you are and not to sell out. Be who you are because its a great thing. You are wonderful parents and talented people. Very creative and artistic. I love watching the both of you on the show, and I get very angry when I see other people make snide remarks and criticize you. They are just jealous, because you are in love, and comfortable in your own skin and THEY are NOT!!!! I love you both, your kids are GORGEOUS!!! I love their names!!! Such handsome fellows!!! Don’t listen to the others who have no balls to be anything but what some stupid rules of society make them out to be, which is just a bunch of crap. We are who we are, and we are all human, and we need to have more respect and patience with each other. The way you have been treated is repulsive. Those people are so self-centered and rude!

    GOOD LUCK with everything! Wishing you all the best! All the blessings and happiness in the world are what you deserve for staying true to yourselfs and not backing down from the sociopaths you share that show with!

    Alex and Simon,
    Thank you so much for showing us the REAL people you truly are regardless of the cameras. I am finding it harder to watch the show I have truly loved because of the way you two continue to be treated and disrespected. It breaks my heart that people can be so cruel to those of us who shine artistically and creatively and march to our own beat. Thank you for being true to your selfs and for sharing with us your lives, passions, love and your beautiful sons. You give me strength and hope to press forward with my dreams and concour my fears one step at a time. I am happy that you have stayed friends with Bethenny who inspires me too. Ramona is growing on me and I find her new self to be uplifting and intriging to watch more and more. I am so glad you have worked it out with her and are now friends. Hope Bravo will give the 4 of you your own show and let you move on to bigger and better things and a way from these shallow and negative sad people on this show. Again Thank you.

    Alex, how you are able to conduct yourself so intelligently and amicable with the other snarky housewives is beyond me! You are amazing to watch on the show!!! You handle yourself with such class and grace. I’m so impressed and aspire to learn everything I can from your example! Thank you for remaining authentic to who you are! Thank you for sharing the photos of your home remodel and your family here on your blog. You have a beautiful family and you are such a beautiful person! I love your relationship with your husband and your kids. You are truly a remarkable woman!

    All my best!
    Cheryl
