Thank You Mila Kunis: your date with Sgt. Scott Moore, USMC

The flirtatiousness of the sunglasses move

You never know unless you ask. And so it was with Sgt. Scott Moore, making a small You Tube video asking actress Mila Kunis to be his date.

Whether it's a high school ball, or the much bigger and grander Marine Corps Ball, being asked to one always emits a blush and a glow for the female. So it was with Mila Kunis, who after being prodded by movie co-star Justin Timberlake, has agreed to go with him to the Marine Corps Ball. Read the details here.

The degree to which this is swell is immeasurable. But I hope she's accepted not because she thinks it's a gesture to her country. I hope she's going because she wants to have a good time with a man who went to a lot of bother to make a video in dusty Musa Qala, and afterward went back to... now how does America's 1st Sgt put it.... slaying dragons, rescuing maidens, doing violence on others' behalf (something like that).

There's something incredibly romantic about that.  When was the last time any guy did that for you? That's right. Never.

Sigh.
Okay, some guidelines for Miss Kunis.
1. Leave your publicist and PR machine at home. This is date. Besides, the Marine Corps has its own, plus you'll be at the side of the very capable Sgt. Scott Moore. 
2. Do go in a few days ahead. Have dinner with Sgt. Scott Moore. Let him take you fishing (or something), tour the base, pay some visits to wounded warriors. Go see a movie. Preferably yours. (If he offers to buy you popcorn, ask for extra butter).
3. Talk with the other girlfriends and wives. They will love you all the more for it.
4. Lastly, read Tanya Bianks' fun advisory about attending military balls. You're Smokin' Only If Your Dress Isn't On Fire. 
5. After missing your high school prom due to a 'scheduling conflict,' this is one of life's rare do-overs. Make it happen.
