Real Brooklyn Housewives Talk Smack

Some non-reality-television Brooklyn moms are talking smack about Alex McCord, the face of the borough on Bravo's Real Housewives of New York (and one half of the creepiest couple to ever exist). One Carroll Gardens housewife l'accuse, “She doesn’t hang out in our circles. I’ve never seen her in the park, and I’ve just about had a play date with every mom in the neighborhood." Not that we're taking McCord's side here, but, maybe it's because up until recently she actually had a job? Or maybe it's because there are a lot of people in Brooklyn? C'mon Daily News, pitting stay-at-home mom bloggers against D-list reality stars is sort of lose-lose, no? Okay, one did say, “I’m worried about putting dinner on the table and they’re worried about what to wear to Puffy’s White Party," but that burn is so four years ago.

I don't know why this horse face is even on the show with her gay husband. Why don't they stop shopping and going to fashion shows trying to get their mugs snapped and teach their children some discipline ... just a thought ... haha

She does look good in that bathing suit.

Brooklyn Moms scare me a little bit though.

Cobble Hill moms seriously frighten me

I understand and admire them for wanting to raise intelligent, compassionate kids in a progressive mixed community, but they frighten me, too. I watch them interact with each another in the local restaurants and cafes, and it just reinforces my gratitude of simply being an aunt. They seem to want to create the tantalizing environment of high school all over again, and the least fashionable mommy or the mommy with the least cute kid always looks sadly lacking.

That mamablog thing is scary. If I ever buy the items she suggests, someone please kill me. Cobble Hill moms seriously frighten me.

having watched the trainwreck that is RHWofNY, I can say that these "women" in no way represent NYC. They are truly the D-list and only aspire to be at the top of the social rungs. Agreed that the Bklyn couple are the creepiest people on earth! People outside NYC might be entertained but as a resident, this whole show coundn't be more contrived!

Spotted Alex on the Manhattan bound F last Friday with a heap of garment bags and no children. Recession is certainly hitting the Bravo D-list hard.

Ummm, so milfy!

I'm not sure who's more annoying: The Real Housewives, or stay at home mommy bloggers.

One Carroll Gardens housewife l'accuse,

I never took French, but shouldn't that be "j'accuse"?

Nora Rocket

No, it shouldn't. The original is, indeed, "J'accuse!" or "I accuse!" but here, one should rather say "she accuses her!" or "elle l'accuse!", or "l'accuse!" I took that much French, it seems. I think. "Voulez-vous couchez avec moi ce soir," donc.
