She walked into my office with a look that could make a statue sweat. She lit a cigarette and handed me a crumpled note that read:

Of all the gin joints in all the world, you've gotta walk into this one, because the seventh annual Fake Prom is going to be murder! A crazy mixed-up night of high-heeled exploits and dance floor double-crossings, this year's event promises to be the most dangerous yet. Crooked cops and curvy secretaries. Private eyes and con games. Femme fatales and fall guys. Throw your moral compass out the window and you might just make it out alive!

What's in the dossier for this year's Fake Prom?

Looking for a bit of intrigue at this year's Fake Prom? Why not sign up for a FAKE DATE! Fake Dates are a fun, easy and commitment-free way to meet someone new at Fake Prom. All you have to do is fill out the on-line questionnaire and our matchmakers - Detective Tom and Detective Laura-Louise - will use their super-sleuthing insights to find you a perfect Fake Date. It's a great way to add some suspense and mystery to this year's event.

UPDATE: MATCHMAKING FOR FAKE PROM 2009 IS NOW CLOSED!
EVERYONE WHO SIGNED UP WILL BE NOTIFIED OF THEIR MATCH SOON.
CHECK YOUR EMAIL OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS!

It wouldn't be Fake Prom without some non-stop dancing. As always, you can expect to hear the classic songs you probably heard back in the days of your own high school prom. Back by popular demand is one of our most acclaimed DJs: Vice-Principal Dougie Boom (DMONEY). His double-dealing ways with the decks will be sure to keep you on the dance floor and out of detention. This year, Mr. Boom will be in cohoots with another denizen of the night - Vice-Principal Dave La Merde (Shit La Merde). Both of these figures have been skulking in the shadows, devising schemes to bring you the most menacing Fake Prom yet!

Fake Prom relies on the keen sensibilities of its attendees to help build the DJs set lists for the evening. We're looking for those songs that you may not have heard in 10 years, but still have all the lyrics lodged in your brain somewhere. These songs are integral to ANY prom (be it Fake or not!), so give us a hand. Here are a few hints to get you started:

THEME-APPROPRIATE
This year's theme of film noir is rife with inspiration for music about girls, guns, and the law. Songs about femme fatales ("Femme Fatale" by Velvet Underground), private detectives ("Private Eyes" by Hall & Oates) or crooked cops ("Fuck Tha Police" by NWA) are just the beginning.

SLOW DANCING
What better way to find a partner in crime than with a slow jam? We need a reason to dim the lights, so give us your favourite smoove tracks!

Please forward all musical requests to the DJs at requests@fakeprom.com

As always, one of the centrepieces of Fake Prom is the Fake Prom Band. Every year, we gather a talented group of young musicians who thrill the audience with brilliant renditions of favourite prom classics. This year, we have had the fortune to ensnare one of the most scintillating local cover bands - THE BEST (known for their excellent work at Loving In The Name Of). Drop them a line and let them know.

No Fake Prom would be complete without having your portrait taken under the balloon arch. The Fake Prom Decorating Committee always works hard to ensure the perfect backdrop for enshrining the magic of the evening forever. This year, we have come up with a backdrop that will drop you right into the hard-boiled heart of 1940s film noir world.

Okay, here's the deal: Every single person who comes to Fake Prom receives a blank ballot for Fake Prom Queen and Fake Prom King. Once you get your ballot, you can write-in the name of the people you'd like to win. It can be yourself, someone you know, or someone you made up. At the end of the night, the Fake Prom committee scrambles to sort through the hundreds of ballots in order to figure out which people got the most votes. Ocassionally, people have mounted successful, organized campaigns to become Fake Prom King and Queen, but usually the winners are the people with the most outlandish costumes and outfits. Oh, and sometimes it's just the people who are dressed the trampiest. So you've got a bunch of different options there for you if you're trying to win the coveted sash and tiara.

We have a lot in store for this year's Fake Prom. Those of you who attended Fake Prom in the past know what an action-packed and value-added event it is. So please feel free to pass this invitation out to your friends. Also, be sure to send me any Fake Prom music requests that you may have. I look forward to chaperoning you,
Superintendent Reibling
