Hey Cecil, The person likely wants to rent a gown and accessories. In north am, the prom is a big deal and the dress code can cost.
Incidentally, the north am prom also includes pre and post prom parties (not suggesting the person would go to these dos). *clearing my throat*...cha-men, no date to go to the Xaviers prom? True, taking a date to the Xaviers prom by BEST no. 63/61 from Byculla or the Bandra date by no.81, 83, 86 would be.......yours truly gate-crashed the senior prom, no date required and that patie-spoiler Fr. E-m-ill spotted and promptly showed the door, only to return via the stage door by the chappel!!!. The Xaviers prom came to life after E-m-ill went to bed after 9!! Think there was a strange rule during that time: the prom was reserved for students of the current year so you were limited to who one could bring as a date. Yikes, the gurls in the lit class wore their eye glasses thick and were yawning by 9. Folks in antro or physiology were lot mo fun- they were cool 'bout taking in quarters of brandy !!! The Xaviers after-party was usually the reddish chai @ Mayrose and if you were cash heavy, the Shamaiana.
