With that hair, those half-lidded eyes, and those beak-shaped lips, that just makes her resemble Magica DeSpell even more, wouldn't you agree?

Gunther simply throws it back at her with the more Arlo-like take. Which is why she was rather more sober in the final panel. Gunther had hit very close to home.

I think the use of the word plastic was very deliberate for its double entendre value. The use of the word fake would have been much more natural response to the question. The opposite of real is fake or imitation (which also has some double entendre value) Yet Tiffany went with "plastic" will lots of giggle added.

The meaning of the word "plastic" could be "fake," or it could imply something far more...um...Arlo-ish. The word plastic as a synonym for fake seems awkward to me. If she meant fake why didn't she say fake? The deliberate use of "plastic" implies something far more Arlo-ish is going on...that either she or Gunther has had plastic boy or girl friends in the past.
