Gal pal - yes, used because it rhymes, like "boy toy." And like boy toy, I think it's a bit derisive.
"Went all" (or "going all") + adjective has been a popular slangy construction for some time now. "I was using your computer, but then it went all buggy on me." "We were having a good time until Cara started going all urban and sophisticated. After that I just wanted to leave the party." "
