Seems like the karma train is pulling into McVanCordKempen station this week. Remember when McCord said that P.S. 29 (is that the public school in question here?) was their like 15th choice of school for lil Francois? Page Six (thanks KD for the tip) has a juicy tidbit about the reality star’s attempt at contrition:

NY Post: Page Six: Meanwhile, Alex McCord, the social-climbing wife of hotel manager Simon, got into hot water with the parents of her son Francois‘ public school in Brooklyn – and sent them all an apology letter for insensitive remarks she made on the show.

McCord was seen on air complaining that Francois didn’t get into their 12th or even 13th choice of school, offending parents of the Cobble Hill school where he eventually ended up. “It’s a great school” with “a strong PTA,” said one parent.

McCord told us, “We did send out a clarification letter – not an apology. We noticed that parents were jumping on a rumor mill and not coming to us for clarification, so we just wrote down a short note saying, ‘Hey this is what’s going on.’ The response was 100 percent positive.”

So, P.S. 29 parents — what did the letter say?

We just stumbled across this “art movie” of Cobble Hillbilly/Real Housewife of New York star Alex McCord. It’s called Alphabet Garden and looks like a Dresden Dolls video on cough syrup. The YouTube description makes it even more fantastic:

“Alphabet Garden” is divided into eight segments…letters A through H. Each “letter” is culled together from footage improvised by the actors…in this sequence, Sean Guinan, Alex McCord (“The Real Housewives of New York City”) and Andy Gorecki, upon the Merchandise Mart el platform in Chicago. These improvised sequences were photographed by Joshua Eckhardt. The musical number at the climax of this segment was written by Sean Guinan and Peter Wirengard.

In other Housewives news the show producers are looking for “additional Manhattan women to join the cast” [Gawker]. Also, check out footage of the Countess doing her Hamptons public access TV show [Celebotomy].
