She’s so worried about how people perceive her that she tries to hide the fact that she, as a former fashion model, is now doing car sales expos at the local mall. Gaby urges Bree to take a man “for a test drive,” saying you wouldn’t buy a car without one, would you? She can be tactless and straightforward, but also try and talk or charm her way out of anything. She pretends to feign emotions whenever it will get her something, but really only cares about how her friends feel about her. Gaby has no internal ethics, instead she is forever looking for ‘leverage’ in a situation and has no hesitation in using it-she blackmails her own mother-in-law, and gets her arrested for shoplifting so that she can run around with her lover behind her back without getting caught. She thinks she can sneak around behind Carlos’ back with her affairs and misbehaviors, without getting caught, and is very creative in how she deals with things-using car accidents to cover up her affair, leaping into action with a shovel, and even employing blackmail and cover-ups, because it seems like a good way to get out of her bad situation. Gaby can be incredibly short-sighted, also – she has an affair with an underage gardener without thinking about how the consequences might play out, how she could get sued or go to prison for statutory rape, or how this might backfire on her friends (the kid’s mom figures that Susan is to blame and humiliates her in public). She would hate to give all of that up, and even holds back a portion of their income when her husband is under threat of jail, to maintain her future pleasurable lifestyle.

She was a high fashion model before she married a businessman, and now she lives her dream life in a gorgeous house, with regular shopping trips, hairstylist visits, and spa days. Gaby defines adaptability, quick thinking in the moment, and living to the fullest in the present.
