Who did you take to senior prom? Was it your high school sweet heart, a close pal or did you go with a group of your pals? Who you bring is a big deal (considering what are ‘big deals’ in

high school) and one California teen is aiming high.

In a YouTube video appropriately tilted “Kate Upton, Will You Go To Prom With Me?” posted on Twitter, Jake Davidson asks the Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover model to be his guest on May 23.

In the video Davidson sings Upton’s praise. She’s the ying to his yang.

With a self-deprecating since of humor, Davidson describes himself. He’s Jewish, 5’9’’ on a good day, and cannot dance. He always sees the glass full. He’s “Optimist prime,” he says.

Davidson also mentions all the things he and Kate – “Can I call you Katie?” he asks – have in common. They both like sports and fine dining. She’s on the cover of Sports Illustrated. He reads Sports Illustrated.

Upton saw the video herself and responded on Twitter.

 

So while she didn’t say yes yet, she also hasn’t said no. In a later interview the model said she’s trying to rearrange her schedule to make it work.
