Oh, I know, it's just that if she heard the name of the party and that she was supposed to dress Maya, it would weird her out. We have a ton of Guatemalans here and some still dress in the Central Native American style with the long woven skirts and carry baskets of laundry on their heads on the way to the laundromat. She knows that she looks more like these Guatemalans than she does the more westernized ones (ladinos) and knows that she and they are Maya.
They also speak among themselves in Maya dialects that are nothing like Spanish, so she doesn't understand them when she overhears them or when they try to speak to her because they think she's one of the gang. So, if someone said, "We're having a Dress like a Maya, End of the World party!", she'd bid you hasta la vista.
