You're Ugly, Too

"He stared at the top of Zoe's head. 'Great bone.' Zoe nodded. 'Great tits,' she said." -pg. 363

The costumes that these two are wearing are irony in themselves. Zoe, while talking to Earl and being at the party, acts more like a guy. She is dressed as a bonehead (haha, get it?). Earl is dressed as a woman. If that isn't irony enough, their actions and words switch their genders as well. Zoe has a hair growing on her chin and plucks it off. She also tells jokes that are crude and many people do not think are funny. She even jokes about love. Earl, on the other hand, seems to be very sensitive. He talks longingly about love and sadly about love lost. He also tells Zoe that blues will bring out her eyes and skin well.
