* HidingYourHeritage: Lauren purposely hides the fact that she's half-white from her bosses at the ''Gazette'' since they wouldn't understand that Latinas can be "mixed" (and presumably because they have their heads so far up their asses that it wouldn't occur to them that some Latinas ''are'' white).

* RagsToRiches: Most of the sucias lived at or below the poverty line before becoming fabulously wealthy through their white-collar jobs. Sara is an aversion, as she comes from generational wealth.

* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Inverted. Lauren refrains from using overly-sophisticated words in her columns, since her bigoted bosses at the ''Gazette'' might berate her--a Latina--for using advanced vocabulary.

* RealityEnsues: Repeatedly hits each of the ''sucias'' on the head
** Lauren's constant purging lands her in the hospital.
** Sara carrying on a secret relationship with Roberto (while he's on the run from the police for murder and domestic violence), thinking he's changed. She conveniently forgets [[IfICantHaveYou what happens to some unfortunate spouses]] when their violent, jealous ex shows up.
** The reason for Elizabeth and Selwyn's short-lived happy ending in the first book is understandable, considering Colombia and some other Latin American countries have conservative views on marriage and sexuality.
** Being married to a white fetishist husband, getting belittled by a prospective magazine buyer, and being refused to have a house sold to you in a fancy white neighborhood are just some of the reality checks that Rebecca has to go through to be reminded that she's not the white Spanish woman she pretends to be.
** ''Lauren's Saints'' only features Lauren, Rebecca and Usnavys, while Sara, Elizabeth, and Cuicatl are no where to be seen. For all their closeness in the previous books, friendships change over time, and some, sadly, disappear altogether.
