Alex McCord and Simon Van Kempen in Antony and Cleopatra Halloween costumes

I’ve been anxiously awaiting the first celebrity Halloween costumes of the year so imagine my joyous surprise when the cherry poppers turned out to be two of my favorite Real Housewives: Alex McCord and Simon Van Kempen!

The Big Apple mom and pop brought their two “chums” out to the 2010 Dream Halloween at Capitale in New York City on October 24, 2010. Alex was a smashing Cleopatra complete with a black wig and Simon made for a mighty fine Roman metrosexual in his matching Antony costume:

Now we know what The Real Housewives of Rome would have looked like!

And lets not forget their two boys Francios and Johan Van Kempen who dressed as lil Iron Man and Na’vi Jake Sully from Avatar!
