<p>PHILADELPHIA &#8212; One Philadelphia teenager&#8217;s mom took his prom to the extreme, spending $25,000 on a camel, three tons of sand and exotic cars. He brought three dates, all in custom-made gowns, and wore three different outfits himself.</p><p>Saudia Shuler says she had thought of sending her only son, Johnny Eden Jr., to Dubai for a visit. Instead, she decided to bring Dubai to Philadelphia for the formal dance.</p><p>She brought the sand and the camel into their neighborhood for photos. Luxury cars, including a Rolls-Royce and a Lamborghini, were on loan for the evening.</p><p>Shuler says it was all worth it. She says she fought cancer and suffered from a stroke in the past few years. She told herself if she was going to make it, she would put on a big prom for her son.</p><p style="text-align: right;"><em> &#8212; The Associated Press</em></p><style>
