Quote #1

You are a thing of beauty. You are a vision. You are a supermodel. (1.102)

Why do women have to look like supermodels to be considered beautiful? We know that's not the point here—the point is that the Pants transform average girls to gorgeous women—but we can't help but wonder about how much emphasis is placed on looks amongst this group of friends when it comes to the Pants, at least initially. 

Quote #2

She wasn't beautiful. Not like Lena. (2.35)

We are getting pretty sick of hearing how beautiful Lena is. Bridget is certainly attractive, but she isn't Lena-pretty, and it must be hard being compared to your best friend. Bridget is good about it, though.

Quote #3

Tibby couldn't look away from the fingernails. (3.37)

You can tell a lot about a person from their fingernails. Or, Tibby thinks she can anyway. She judges Angela because of her nails, though later on Tibby feels ashamed for being so judgmental.
