For many of us, prom was probably a little like the light-cycle scenes in Tron and Tron: Legacy; full of bright lights, a race careening towards a destination we don’t understand, and somehow all of it was unreal/really a dream. But now you could reclaim those memories by wearing the Tron Prom Dress. (We know this thing isn’t new, but we really, really love it. Look at more pictures here. Also, one Tor.com staffer may or may not have threatened to shave his beard and wear make-up if someone bought him the Tron Prom Dress.)
