Every birthday party she had as a child was engineered to fit her mother's social agenda. Then, as an adult, they were excuses to promote her to potential clients.
I did everything I could to make those parties more than dressed-up promos, you know. I used to buy her little surprise presents for her birthday, get her a special cake, that kind of thing. I really did try to make the parities fun for her.

the idea is that to hide the promotional aspect they added "extras" to make it look as anything other than promotion

Boring events
Events that are made for the sake of makingit. Usually if you have attended one you will know what will happen in the next one to the tiniest details
