Dress for the prom/way of substituting drama ...
Hi
A certain woman who is a psychic says: I wear jeans and T-shirts, like to watch Seinfeld, and listen to REM. In other words, being able to see the soul doesn't require you to dress for the prom. That's silly - harmless, but silly - and usually a way of substituting drama to compensate for lack of substance. True psychic sense is founded in common sense above all.
--- I think she's joking here, but I'm not sure I understand what she means by "dressing for the prom"?
Also, I cannot figure out what she's trying to say by "way of substituting drama to compensate for lack of substance"?
By the way: I think she's talking about Jerry Seinfeld, right?

Dressing up to give psychic readings (or whatever she does) is what is silly. It doesn't hurt anyone, but it's not necessary.
