Perhaps the only thing differentiating Bravo's "Make Me a Supermodel" series from the horde of other reality catwalk clones is that one of the female finalists may be a biological man! For the love of Zarf!
On the show's casting special, 22-year-old Fort Lauderdale hottie Shannon Pallay joked about her tomboy status by saying that "despite my extremely feminine physical appearance, I'm actually a man." Move over RuPaul, there's a new gender-bending supermodel in da house!
According to her bio on Bravo's website, Miss Shannon "describes herself as confident, polite, reserved and outgoing -- and says she is constantly contradicting herself." You can say that again!

Former "All My Children" male-to-female transgendered lesbian British rocker, Zarf, has reappeared as Scott Baio's brunette psychologist on his new VH1 reality show! Zarfie loves Chachi! Well, not really.
Although Dr. Alison Arnold on "Scott Baio, 45 and Single" sure looks like the trannylicious Zarf, she is, in fact, a biological woman ... and has a resume to boot! Ali's worked with Olympic athletes, politicians and many other celebrities. She helps people and organizations "take off" limiting beliefs, and "scream" their greatness in the way they live, work, and love. Just like Zarf did!
You go, girl!

With her transition from male British rock star to lesbian school marm now complete, daytime TV's favorite transgendered heroine, Zarf/Zoe, made her last pantyhosed prance on "All My Children."
Having educated the good people of Pine Valley on the wonders of gender reassignment, Zarf set out for the European leg of her transformational tour, but not before giving a heartfelt thanks to Erica Kane -- woman to woman.
Zarf, played by Jeffrey Carlson, made television history as the first transgendered lesbian character on a daytime soap. With his updos and Talbots suits behind him, Carlson will now star in The Shakespeare Theater Company's production of "Hamlet" in D.C.
Fly little Zarf, fly!

Jeffrey Carlson plays transgendered lesbian rocker Zarf on "All My Children," and is really a man. Fergie, Nicollette Sheridan and even Donatella Versace are, in fact, biological women.

Everyone's favorite "All My Children" male-to-female transgendered lesbian rock star, Zarf/Zoe, has taken sleepy Pine Valley by fashion storm.
From her brisk gender-neutral goth power suits, to her little black cocktail/funeral dress ... he/she is setting genderbending trends by going from androgynous British rocker to "Murphy Brown" working grrrl -- faster than you can say, "Do these pumps come in a size 14?"
Watch as Zarf/Zoe (played by actor Jeffrey Carlson) transforms before your very eyes!

Housewives across the country got a little lesson in transgenderism on Friday's episode of "All My Children."
The soap furthered the storyline of transgendered lesbian character Zarf/Zoe's quest to transition from male to female. On today's educational and partially unscripted episode, Zarf, played by male actor Jeffrey Carlson, ventured to a support group where he encountered trans persons, played by genuine transgendered actors in various stages of undergoing the change. Janice Dickinson must have been unavailable, but a Sandra Oh lookalike was!
For a brief moment, the ABC soap diverged from their laughable Satin Slayer storyline to expose audiences to more diverse characters in a positive light. Let's hope this noble effort doesn't turn into the serial's killer, or kill the serial.

This week, "All My Children" launched the first male-to-female transgendered storyline in daytime TV. Actor Jeffrey Carlson plays a British gender-switching rock star with the unlikely name of Zarf, who is having a flirtation with Erica's Kane's (Susan Lucci's) lesbian daughter, Bianca (Eden Riegel). Zarf bears a striking resemblance to "Project Runway" finalist, Austin Scarlett.
It had been hoped that the storyline would give "AMC" a lift from a serious ratings plunge. Rather than play it with any seriousness, producers have chosen to portray the character as a ridiculous, wild-eyed cartoon homosexual, who is snickered at by nearly everyone in the show. Tacky.
According to longtime pinevalleybulletin.com blogger Kathy Carano, "AMC needs a kick in the ass and they're hoping Zarf will do just that, but AMC's recent track record of ruining potentially great storylines weighs heavily on a lot of fans."
The soap's been struggling for plots to prop up ratings; they even undid Erica's groundbreaking 1973 abortion and ventured into the absurd by coming up with her long lost son, who'd been "transplanted into another woman at the time of the abortion."
Oh, the humanity.
