(I deleted the original Girls Mixer Party page - I'm pretty sure I'd created the link, but I never went anywhere with it, and there was the sort of general idea that it was a bit early. Then I realized I didn't really need it that early either... if I was wrong about deleting it, please speak up!)
Mrs. Black arranges this party to "show off" the girls, and allow them to mix with potential suitors. They have a meeting - awkward for all - beforehand with Mrs. Black where she tries to give them tips and encouragement, and then they go help each other dress and get ready.
<#kate: Along with playing the piano, Ella helps get food on the table, working with Jefferson and Louis since she's a little on the young side for suitors this time around. ChatwithJefferson#>
<#kate: Neato! Thanks for starting this string Court. Some thoughts:#>
<#kate: 1. Based on Kel's input, I'm thinking Mrs. Black makes sure there's a "boy" there for each girl, including Valerie that perhaps are encouraged to dance with sit next to. #>
<#court: I suspect there is a lot of awkwardness this first time, especially if Mrs. Black "helpfully" pairs them off - and I could totally see her doing it, trying to help and expedite the process! Jeanne is mortified at being set up with someone. My gut is that there would be a lot of silence and the evening would be pretty stilted. Perhaps based on this feedback, they are not paired off so explicitly in the future? #>
<#kate: 2. I was also thinking it might be fun for Ella and maybe Celeste to have Ida May show up at the first go around, or maybe this meeting to show what a lady's supposed to be like.#>
<#kate: 3. I'm not sure how Ollie feels about things, but I have a feeling Shawn might be pretty grumpy and scoping out anyone coming into the vicinity of Erin.#>
