Cadet wanted to bring porn star to the ball

You read about porn stars getting asked to high school proms, for example, so this couldn't have been totally out of the blue. I've never been a porn star, so I can only guess at the details here, but what's the etiquette? Is this a case of Any Press Is Good Press? Are you obliged to accept all requests? Do you have a manager that screens them? Are the rules different for men and women? So far none of my children (nor my wife, to the best of my knowledge) have explored "celebrity" dating so I have only questions.
 
Well her line of work notwithstanding, she’s still just a normal human being outside of the office (or the studio). Frankly, if it’s now okay for men to be homecoming (drag)queens, women to compete in men’s sports, and whatever other mockeries of the system you can dream up, then West Point should be glad if this is the most controversial thing they have to deal with at an event like this.
 
This kid is thinking outside of the box! He's an old-school SWASHBUCKLER! Only thing negative about this would have been the awkward visit to the Malogne Clinic the following week. Cut him some slack, they are under tremendous pressure. If he had pulled it off he would have been a legend.
The whole Corps would have howled for days.
:cool:
 
Would we be saying the same thing if it was a female cadet trying to date that famous one being accused of raping women on and off the sets?
I have no idea whom that might be. The point being, I seriously doubt this kid put that much thought into his plan before implementing it. He just decided to go big, or go home. I can say for sure that my DD would have laughed her behind off with the others at the hi jinks of one of her Battle Buddies. They would not have seen the event as a social statement of any great import. It was a failed attempt at being spoken of in revered tones for ages to come.
 
The problem isn't ultimately who he asked. The problem is that you can't use your standing in "The Military" as a way to get money.

"I'm a West Point Cadet" was where he went wrong. If he wrote "I'm a poor college student and can't afford to get my date here, please help" he would have been fine.

Maybe.
 
When I was a USNA BattO, one of my 2/c mids contacted Britney Spears’ “people” to invite her as his Ring Dance date. I heard about it when the Supe’s PAO called me about it, because she was considering it. She ultimately said no, but there was that brief shining moment.

Another one of my mids started an online auction site of himself as a Ring Dance date, essentially selling the unique opportunity to “date a mid.” You know how Playboy centerfold used to have personal info written in a certain way? Well, imagine that and mid striking a pose in mess dress and Wayfarer shades, plus additional pix in flight suit during summer training cruise in jet cockpit à la Maverick, and USNA Speedo muscle pose.

Instant legends in the Brigade. All of us on Supe’s and Dant’s laughed our heads off behind closed doors, presented game face otherwise.
 
Back in the 70's a good friend of mine wrote to Olympic Ice Skater Dorothy Hammill and invited her to the Ring Dance.
There was an exchange of letters for quite a while trying to pull it all together but in the end, her schedule had her on
the West Coast and was not available. He recovered quite well and is still married to the Hood Girl that he took to
Ring Dance.
 
The situation would be different if Ms. Fox was actually the cadet's girlfriend or significant other. I think it was the public fundraising that went astray.
 
It may be important to note that @OldRetSWO is referring to a female student from Hood College, in Frederick, Maryland.

You know, rather than "straight up hood rats that keep it G, all day, every day." :biggrin:
Hood Girls are Good Girls! (or so they used to tell us)

The classmate/friend that I mentioned above met me for Sunday breakfast in the Hood dining hall a couple of times. :zip:
