Ginger Minj's work provides examples of:
- Chubby Chaser: "Chub Love" is about this.
- My Greatest Second Chance: All Stars 2 was meant to be this after her original season, but she was an early elimination. All Stars 6 then became her second second chance.
- Self-Deprecation: She happily refers to herself as a "glamour toad", and her entrance look
in All Stars 6 evokes this sentiment, dressed in hot pink and swampy green with giant fabric warts covering her all over.
