Given that [[ShouldersUpNudity only her head and shoulders were visible]], and thus she could have remained mostly clothed without ruining the shot, it seems to have been a case of this trope. Oleynik was twelve at the time and speaks of it as a ''very'' embarrassing experience. Noticeably, her powers [[MagicPants never affect her clothes in future episodes]], which is lampshaded in the first episode when Annie tells Alex to concentrate when morphing so her clothes liquefy with her.
