  • Hollywood Homely: Apparently, wearing glasses is enough to qualify Melissa Sagemiller as a "dog".
  • Hollywood Pudgy: Adam, as Adina, is regularly teased for having a "fat ass", and laments his inability to find flattering female clothing ("Why can't they design dresses for girls who want to hide a big caboose?"). He only wears a U.S. women's size 8, which is below average. Behind the scenes, Michael Rosenbaum wore padded undergarments to make his rear larger, and it's still barely noticeable when he's in costume. (However, this would be in keeping with the rail-thin beauty standards of the early 2000s)
    • Indeed, Adam's friends are constantly trying to convince him that his backside isn't fat like he believes — he's simply been letting the teasing affect his self-image.
    • When Leah first meets the trio, she refers to all three as "plus-sized gals". Strangely, however, only Adina is ever referred to as such after that point. It's possible that that Leah was referring to their unusual statures rather than their figures.
  • Retroactive Recognition: The head of Delta Omicron Gamma graduated and became an Assistant District Attorney in Manhattan.
  • Truth in Television: The exchange mentioned under Hollywood Pudgy? According to Dustin Hoffman, he had similar, out-of-character self-esteem issues during the production of Tootsie.
