Victor throwing things around the office is just plain laughable. It's Grumpy Old Man vs the Kool Aid Man -- who will win?

Someone needs to tell the wardrobe department to GO SHOPPING. This isn't Jess' fault. Even if Jess had fierce pieces at home to wear for her character, Rauch would reject her wearing them. Rauch's ageism and sexism are blatant and apparent on this show, especially with the way Nikki and Jill are dressed and treated. Outrageous.

So the days of fierce, businesswoman, whore-haired Jill are gone. Now we have white trash, beer guzzling, Kool-Aid man dressing Jill.

And is it just me or does the chick who plays Skye look alot like the chick who played Francesca on Sunset Beach?

I don't buy this for a minute. Jess has been dressing like a frump for 6-7 years now, it started under Alden/Smith. I KNOW she wears her own jewelry, she's spoke about it on a few occasions, a friend of hers design those pieces. Jeanne wears her own clothes, and they didn't give Dickson any grief when she wore her own clothes... it saves them money. Jess has just LET HERSELF GO, and seeing how incredible Reinart has been looking lately just brings that all home. And I don't believe it's ageism, either... because Sharon Case and Amelia look like crap most of the time, too, while Stafford usually looks pretty good (Except her flat ass hair)and Hendrickson always looks good.

I meant to mention this yesterday... Branson has got the most BEAUTIFUL SPEAKING VOICE EVER. That man's got a career in voicover work once the soaps go down the drain.

Not to mention Tonya's horrible wigs & Tricia's Walmart fashions.

Tricia Cast looks great considering her size. I was expecting them to frump her up hardcore, but I appreciate that she isn't getting the Genie Francis treatment. I think she looks viable enough to go head-to-head with all the skinny bitches on the show. Even Tonya is settling into her new wig well. Her natural beauty is strong enough to rise above that hating hairstylist.

When Lynn Marie Latham put Jill with Ji Min they definitely played up her sexy side. We saw her in more form fitting dresses and she looked HOT. I think they had no choice considering she was being paired with such a young man. I don't think it's her fault she looks so bad now. Even her hair is now longer (which she needed), but it's so poorly styled. That's the show's fault end of story. I wish they'd fix up her wardrobe, but they probably figure it's no use since she's such a throwaway character these days. Such a shame they ruined what was developing with William Russ' Tucker.

Modern Jill seems to always pop up with something that shows potential and then they back off of it.

But when you consider how far Y&R's fashion has fallen that's not saying much.

Look how they dress MTS & Jess is one wrap camisole away from QVC.

Tricia's aged very well but Y&R has always had an issue dressing her.

Even Tonya is settling into her new wig well. Her natural beauty is strong enough to rise above that hating hairstylist.

The new wig is definitely an improvement but nobody as pretty as Tonya should have to wear a swiffer on their head.

But Y&R doesn't care about minority hair anyway. :lol:

The further Y&R moves Jill from the business world the more casual they dress her.

She's gone from Alexis Carrington to Reva Shayne.

:lol::lol::lol: I don't see why Tonya can't have a nice wig, is it a matter of her just taking whatever hair and makeup has? Because I know that the show truly does not CARE if these actresses do their own hair and makeup, as long as it looks good. Didn't Rowell say she also brought in some of her own wardrobe and did her own hair?

There is something that has been bothering me for a while; Mac says the reason she and Billy broke up was because she wanted to be the surrogate for Lily and Cane. Yes they had an argument over it but I thought the main reason they broke up for good was because Mac found out about the quickie Billy had in the alley behind Jimmy's. She realized that Billy was never going to change.

It's like they just take whatever dust ruffle they have, dye it black & toss it on her head.

Much like Tricia's clothes Y&R has long had a hard time with Tonya's hair.

If Y&R would let Tonya wear her hair natural it would be a lot easier but given the horrible wigs they slapped on Eva Marcille & Scottie Pippen things don't bode well for Tonya. :lol:

Jess Walton in her interview with Michael Fairman regarding Jill's ever changing parentage,and story direction.Michael says it's hard to keep track.

Jess replies:

It is, isn't it? I agree with you, and it used to bother me. I would try and keep a steady course with it, and now I can't. Now I just roll with the punches. It's impossible! For awhile there you just kind of say things like, "My character wouldn't do this, and who is this?" But now, I just kind of go, "Oh, my God. This is going to be fun", because it's something new, and it's something different.

Seems a veiled way of saying she's not thrilled with the current state of Y&R. Who can blame her?

Oh, wow. Just noticed this. On one hand, I'm glad she's saying what she's saying, but it's obvious she's given up. Who wouldn't?

Tonya's probably getting those wigs Christel does not want to wear because they look "to depressing and to much like cancer and stuff"...
