* RealWomenDontWearDresses: Invoked. The Pink Dolls, at the start, were a cutesy and very feminine girl group that wasn't making any money. After they perform "White", their image eschews the pink and frills while they go for a sexier and more aggressive style, which really ramps up their popularity. Note that this isn't a ''good'' thing, per se, since it's combined with AmbitionIsEvil and the total destruction of their group.
