* HollywoodHomely / HollywoodOld: Used InUniverse, and very deliberately, with Calendar Girl. She used to be a glamorous, gorgeous supermodel, but was eventually rejected by the industry (for the heinous crime of ''getting older''), and now refuses to be seen without her mask. When it eventually gets removed at the end of the episode, she screams at people not to look at her... except she's still every bit as beautiful as she was in the flashbacks. It's just that the unrealistic, unfair, and downright insane standards set by the industry broke her to the point that she now sees herself as hideously ugly.

* YoungerAndHipper: Deconstructed with Calendar Girl. She was a former model who was "past her prime" (that is, she had turned 30) and wanted revenge against the fashion industry that abandoned her. There was a scene where the GWB network unveils their new shows for the Fall season, including programming about a "teen cop", "girls at a modelling college", and "young lady veterinarians on the beach" to drive the point home. In the end, it was revealed that Calendar Girl was still quite beautiful, but all she could see were the "flaws" that came with age. The irony? Calendar Girl herself is a younger-and-hipper update of Calendar Man, a somewhat lame CListFodder bat-rogue.

* {{Irony}}: When Calendar Girl comes to kidnap Freddie, he tries to defend himself with a prop blaster. She snarks that he's BelievingTheirOwnLies and that ThisIsReality. At the end of the episode, it turns out that the same thing has happened to her, believing herself to be hideous when she's actually rather gorgeous.
