Who Chose It Best: Welcome to the Jungle
While Mrs. Devine's "Welcome to the Jungle Fashion Show" was primarily a fashion show, it's still important to note what people were wearing at the ball! Everyone in attendance chose a mask, ideally to match their outfits, but some did better than others.

When at a masquerade or masked ball, one is inherently more mysterious than at a normal ball! Especially at a ball where one is comparing themselves to an animal, it is best to choose the most flattering, appealing option if one is to successfully acquire a husband.

Miss Wilhelmina "Minnie" Pendergast selected - perhaps with the help of sister Mrs. Macmillan, who also attended - the mask of a fox. A fox is cunning and wily, and the look may have given Miss Pendergast an alluring 'edge' that the former Pendergast Rose sometimes lacks! This look played up the debutante's better qualities - her friendliness made the mask non-threatening, and the mask helped make Miss Pendergast stand out.

Meanwhile, Miss Lucille Flint, cousin to the afflicted Scrimgeours, donned the mask of a deer. A deer produces the impression that an individual is innocent and vulnerable, but one must ask: is it possible to look too innocent and vulnerable, underwhelming the audience? Especially for such a bold debutante as Miss Flint, this was a strange choice.

Ultimately, Miss Pendergast's more bold choice is the one that we at Witch Weekly believe worked better. (Although both debutantes were able to dance with eligible gentlemen.) Sometimes, it's better to push the proverbial envelope when attending a ball - especially at the beginning of the season, when one is competing with other debutantes!

Miss Pendergast, a former Pendergast Rose, is also related to the Macmillan family.

Miss Flint is related to the Scrimgeours and the Bulstrodes.
