Jake Davidson's prom was definitely a night to remember!

While the Los Angeles high school student didn't end up bringing Kate Upton as his date, although he certainly got her attention with his headline-making YouTube appeal, he had another certified beauty on his arm for the rite of passage: Upton?s fellow model Nina Agdal.

The big night was Thursday in Santa Monica and it included the requisite prom photo shoot beforehand. Davidson, dressed in a gray tux with a black bow tie, happily posed next to the 21-year-old Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue model, who wore a sage green halter dress that showed off her back.

"Had such a great prom night," tweeted the Danish beauty, who recently appeared in an ad for Carl's Jr. that ran during the Super Bowl. "Thank you jakedavidson23 for being an awesome date!"

"She came over to my house to meet my family and then we headed over to pre-prom, which is where everyone from school takes pictures," he told Sports Illustrated's Swim Daily blog on Friday. "Then we headed to prom for a little bit, the usual schedule, but with a very unique date."

What is so great about Prom? In the UK at least, my prom was rubbish, boring, dull and I wanted to leave straight away. I was with my girlfriend too who I'm still dating many years on - I just saw it as a date and I couldn't really spend quality time with my girlfriend and cuddle her because everyone else is around...kinda overrated rubbish if you ask me.

Not about the prom itself. It's about what happens afterwords.

Ha ha yer same here me and another geek went as friends, didn't even kiss... but then we went strictly as friends Americans take proms way to seriously.

i think in America it's considerated a rite of passage... and a night of booze and sex :rolleyes:

meanwhile in my country (Portugal) there's a lot of teens that get pregnant underage (15, 16) so yeah prom night here is pointless. on the other hand the finalist trips are very crazy. :woot:

I am surprises they let him bring her,in our area they will not let any non students attend, they will not allow students from other schools either.

Maybe because it's a stupid rule that is there for no valid reason?

    • If you don't care to read what I said, then you prove my point. Maybe written media is beyond your attention span. Titles are not summaries my friend.
    • Nobody asked... in fact, I said "I don't care about political leanings"  
    • TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results
    • Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?
    • There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
