Teens: Sorry to break it to you, but prom is totally lame. It’s not like the movies. Your crush probably won’t ask you to dance, and even though you’re dressed to kill, you’re probably going to be let down. You have an opportunity to make up for that during the...

Teens: Sorry to break it to you, but prom is totally lame. It’s not like the movies. Your crush probably won’t ask you to dance, and even though you’re dressed to kill, you’re probably going to be let down. You have an opportunity to make up for that during the 10th annual Fetish Prom, because people actually want to be there -- and they won’t necessarily play nice. Trade in the tux for latex, leather, chains, and pasties- the possibilities are endless. You don’t have to deal with cheesy top 40 love songs thanks to live performances by Leather Strip and Sharon Needles. Needles, a spooky, fashionable drag queen, is a top contender for prom queen thanks to her misfit mantra, “When in doubt, freak them out.”

Explore your fantasies at Fetish Prom at Marquee Theatre, 730 North Mill Avenue in Tempe, at 8 p.m. on Saturday, May 24. This 18-and-over event is $22. Call 480-829-0607 or visit www.luckymanonline.com.
