I like her, but for shallow reasons...if my curls looked like hers I wouldn't have had to do the Keratin crap!

If she's graduating from high school this year, doesn't that make her old enough? I think she's a cute girl...and they've accepted girls who don't have "the look" (Jinelle comes to mind). But I guess it's a moot point if she's going away to school.

This makes me wonder, since Maya is always saying she's not ashamed of who she is, what is she afraid of? Is she afraid Rick won't accept that she's transgender or he won't accept that she wasn't open about it? I have no doubt that it will be about the honesty. And I don't think it will be as much about her being dishonest, but rather about him feeling like a fool yammering about Maya's integrity ad nauseum.

Design this jewelry with Maya in mind. Design this dress with Maya in mind. ARGH!!! I hope Jacob Young is as annoyed as I am about his spouting this drivel over...and over...and over...and..... I guess this strategy would work if Maya were Forrester's only customer! By the way, did you know that she embodies beauty & femininity?

Strangely enough, my mother used to make a creamy cucumber salad, and my then 7 year old nephew used to eat almost the entire bowl. It can be odd what some kids like.

In the words of Nelson from The Simpsons "ha ha!" Good thing she ended that fake marriage!

I just watched this episode last night. There was a squeal? All I could think when I was watching that disturbing scene was "well, at least the pig didn't squeal." I'm glad I didn't hear it, would have made it all the more disturbing. In fact, I had to watch some Frasier right after in order to get into a different mind set. That being said, I'll continue to watch the series, a review I read said that if you could get through the disturbing pilot it will be worth it.

In Genoa City this should be an actual medical affliction :)

So Yack can't be trusted to have lunch with Phyllis, but he can be trusted on a tropical vacation with her? Hell, he even got scolded for coming home too early!

Oh no, DoppelKyle??? I just can't.

I couldn't agree more. My one caveat, however, is that a show remains consistent with its lore

I can believe it :) I said that exact thing to my TV! Speaking of talking out both sides of one's mouth, I can't believe Rick when he said because of his past he used to be angry & mean & petty, but Maya changed all that. She did??? On the show I've been watching, Rick has been nothing but a grade A ass since becoming CEO, both in & out of the office. Does he really think his treatment of Aly is ok? And he's still doing it, with Maya giggling right by his side. I did, however, love Pam & Charlie getting caught in Rick's office with Charlie implying Pam is some kind of sex maniac. Of course Rick's "Oh, that's TMI!" made me want to throw something at the tv...his & Maya's whole relationship is one giant TMI episode after another.

Yeah, a line from Charlie like "She's transgender, these are the same pills my friend Mary takes" would have been awesome. It would show that his "Maya is transgender" conclusion isn't some random off the wall nonsense, but would be rooted in actual experience.

I think it means time to give Summer a kiss :)

The part in Alex's bedroom was pretty darn funny. When she told her parents to leave her room & Phil picked up the leaf from the nightstand, I actually snorted :)

Nice job, MM! I haven't always been fond of things he said on Twitter, but that was really classy.

Not that I know what I'm talking about, but I don't think the use of focus groups is unreasonable, that way the designer would have a strong idea of what the customers would like. I imagine for the high-end lines this is NOT true, it seems that with them it's more like "this is our line and you better like it," and dear show, I'm sorry but you are not going to convince me Chelsea is in the same league as a Karl Lagerfeld/Marc Jacobs.

From Emma's "how we met" Huh?

Maybe what is embarrassing to her is that she can't claim she was the one who dumped Bruce.

From webmd: http://www.webmd.com/menopause/estrogen-replacement-therapy-ert-16198 So no, it doesn't automatically follow that she would be transgender.

All Rick & Maya talk about is how much they like sex and how honest Maya is. Do those two EVER have a real conversation???

I'm making tuna casserole for dinner, and I can't help but be reminded by one of my favorite Raymond moments from "The Can Opener". Tuna juice!!!! Oh my God!!!

Thanks, magicdog. Now I want to rewatch!

I'm not sure it's a dig, it's probably because he doesn't want the "this happened so fast" discussions.

Not to get too of topic, and sorry if it sounds like I'm being nitpicky, but I think GLAAD is playing with words. They may identify as the other gender, but the decision lies in changing physical appearance to match their identity. In other words, one does not CHOOSE identity, it is what it is, but one can choose what he/she wishes to look like.
