Alex’s thoughts
Would you ever consider moving to the burbs?
Not a chance. We’d be more likely to live in a rural area than in suburbia. What bothers me about suburbia is the sameness. Simon and I both spent time in very small towns, and both rural and major metropolitan areas have a sense of uniqueness—mom-and-pop-owned businesses, things you don’t see in every area of the country. I remember once we were visiting the daughter of a friend in a suburban gated community, and we drove up to the wrong house because they all looked the same. To some people, that represents safety; to me, that is scary.
Why did you decide to do this show?
Hey, why not? Life moves so quickly that it’s a great opportunity to have a professionally edited pastiche of our young family at this point. We can look at it when we’re old and remember what it was like to be able to lift the kids, wear bikinis, etc. Also, since we’d been relatively insular the past few years due to work and having babies, we thought it might be fun to expand our horizons and meet new people—all of which is happening.

She needs to get her own identity instead of an outdated husband's title!

Are they aware that "Count and Countess" ' have not been used as titles in Italy for at least the last 100 years, since the country was unifed.
Perhaps that is why they favor living in the United States, where people are more impressed by titles.

why are the woman so fruggly(is that a word). Tlaking about cookie cutter. NY is known for its different ethincities and different looks.
Rather then putting wealthy fruggly woman on there. They should of casted the hot, fun, woman that you see everyday in NYC.
Im embarassed to say I am a NY woman.

Where are the women of color? NYC is THE most diverse city in the world and they could not find one housewife of ethnicity. Boring! What they should show is how its really done on the East Coast...with style, with flavor and from women of diverse perspectives...that's NY and that would be interesting.

All Bethenny's comments on children should be dismissed because she never gave birth. She doesn't know what it's like to be a mother.

Alex, guess what we don’t all live in the same houses in the suburbs. I’ll keep it simple for you. Some houses are big and some are small. Some are on the beach and some are not. You get the idea. Here we enjoy more diversity than you do. We have the opportunity to enjoy serenity and to hop in our gasoline guzzling SUVies and drive to Manhattan to Saks or Bloomies to buy our Channels and Valentinos. I bet you’ve never been to Nordstrom’s!!!! I almost forgot we hop in our limousines with our kids and go to American Girl, and Build a Bear, and Mars 2112 for our birthday parties in addition to the parties they get at KidzFest, Kiddy Palooza, etc. now that’s diversity. I guess you can take a girl out of a small town but you cannot “take out” her ignorance.

Sadly, she doesnt realize that Brooklyn basically IS a suburb of Manhattan! Many of her cronies pull the same ugly face when asked if they'd live in Brooklyn--UGH
