* AllPartOfTheShow: the attendees at Ashley's art opening think that the fistfight that breaks out between Ashley and Veronica is a piece of performance art, and break out into applause when Ashley and Veronica leave the gallery to continue a running brawl down the street.
* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Despite getting into brawls that leave both characters, in turn, comatose, and that should by rights do things like knock out teeth and leave the combatants disfigured, Veronica and Ashley retain their good looks. Subverted in that the fights are quite bloody and do leave visible injuries during the act.
* BrainlessBeauty: Veronica initially comes across as an airhead. This isn't down to any innate lack of intelligence but more a combination of a lifestyle where she simply doesn't do much other than look good and her own drinking. Ashley even explicitly calls her a trophy wife. She does grow out of it.
