Michelle Obama is a real class act, so it’s no wonder some hot young thang is trying to get one-on-one time with the First Lady. At a Washington D.C. charity event, sorting toys for low-income families, twenty-year-old Lance Cpl. Aaron Leeks asked Mrs. Obama if she would attend the Marine Corps. Ball with him. He’s a little late on the fad, but it looks like it’ll turn out well for him.

When he surprised her with the invitation, she told him she’d be happy to accompany him, as long as her husband gives the okay. “She said she’d love to go. Actually, she said I’d need to speak to her husband, but she said she’d love to.”

At first, I was really confused because I honestly didn’t realize there were this many Marine Corps. Balls! But I guess it’s a nice change of pace for someone to invite Michelle Obama instead of, like, Kristen Cavallari. When you can say you went on a date with the President’s wife, it sounds way more BAMF than saying you went with Jay Cutler’s sometimes-fiance. No offense to any Laguna Beach alumnae.
