* AwesomeButImpractical / BoringButPractical: How Rebecca defined a "real present" and a "fake present" in her youth. "Real" presents were fancy things that didn't last a month, "fake" presents were dull things that would last a long time.

* FreudianExcuse: Depending on how you feel about Rebecca, she possibly has one. Her mother always bought her boring and unfashionable clothes, only thinking of their good prices, while Rebecca wanted the pretty, sparkly, overpriced clothes--that every other girl her age got--she also as a little girl sees grown up girls buying what ever they wanted with magic cards. No one corrected her thinking this, so she grew up becoming the fashionable girl she always wanted to be, in her 20s. But with twelve credit cards and a lot of debt she has no idea how to pay off.

* JerkassHasAPoint: While to some extent humiliating her on national TV was a step too far, the only reason Derek Smeath had to resort to extreme methods to chase Rebecca down was because she kept dodging all of his calls and refusing to meet with him in-person, and she really did owe a huge amount of money that couldn't go ignored, requiring him to confront her in a situation she couldn't escape from.
* LegFocus: Alicia, to the point where she's nicknamed "Alicia-Bitch-Longlegs"

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


* FantasySequence: Apparently, Rebecca is ''so'' obsessed with shopping that she imagines mannequins communicating with her. Which makes it [[UncannyValley a little weird]] when [[EyelessFace the ones with blank faces]] do so.
