If you spent any serious time in Zwinktopia this weekend, you may have been very confused. You may have seen random items scattered all over the place, like a crown mysteriously left on a table under the palm tree at the Splash pool. And members of the opposite sex may suddenly have become very interested in you, and asked you for a date just seconds after you meandered into the park.

Don't worry - this isn't some strange alternate Zwinky universe, and you certainly don't look or smell any better than you did last week, though you've certainly spent a lot of Zbucks trying. There can be only one explanation for this. It must be time for the biggest event to hit Zwinktopia....well, ever. That's right. We're talking about the one and only Zwinky Prom.

Here at SmileyBuzz headquarters, we recognize that people who are old enough to have experienced prom generally fall into three categories: those that didn't go, those who associate it with the sweetest memories of young adulthood, and those who break out into cold sweats as they re-live the horror just thinking about it. Unfortunately, most of us here at SmileyBuzz fall into the latter category. That's why we're working as hard as we can to ensure that the Zwinky Prom experience is much better for you than our proms were for all of us.

Want to know more? Well, let's just say that you'll need to figure out the details on your own. Those random items scattered all around Zwinktopia might help....and you might want to take a trip back to the Zwinchester Mall if you haven't been there lately.

But in the meantime, over the next couple of days, we'll be getting into the spirit of things by sharing with you some of our prom horror stories. So read them, laugh along, or cry....knowing full well that no matter what happens to you at the Zwinky Prom, it won't be nearly as bad as what we had to endure during the most formative years of our adolescence.

And don't forget to start doing whatever you can to rack up those Zbucks - because looking good on the dance floor is never cheap. After all, it's prom season - so the better you look, the better you'll feel about the whole experience...and the more likely you'll be able to go on to have a normal, fruitful and productive adulthood.
