Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
For those interested in a sneak peek at the made-for-Lifetime movie The Fab Five: The Texas Cheerleader Scandal, which premieres August 2 at 8 p.m., the cable outlet's posted a few short behind-the-scenes videos over here. But, by day's end, Unfair Park will host some exclusive footage from the film based on the story about McKinney North High School's "Mean Girls," as Newsweek noted in January 2007 of the cheerleaders who menaced the hallways. Get your pom-poms ready. --Robert Wilonsky
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
