Remember McLovin in “Superbad”? He’s the geek with the fake ID, the high school senior who somehow gets the girl.
Well, it’s come to life in Littleton.
Dakota Ridge High School senior Conner Cordova, 17, has been nursing a monster crush on Maxim model and Ultimate Fighting ring girl Arianny Celeste. Why? Just Google her.
So Cordova posted three YouTube videos asking Celeste, 25, to attend his prom on April 10. They met briefly at the Mixed Martial Arts Awards in Las Vegas in December. It’s a night where they salute the best Ultimate Fighting champs. She had seen the videos, and last week, incredibly, she said: I’m yours.
She can’t make the prom, but she’ll be Cordova’s date March 20 at his senior dance. And duh, everyone knows the senior dance is a way bigger deal than prom.
“Having no shame and throwing yourself out there pays off,” Cordova says. “This is pretty awesome and pretty wild. I’m excited.”
As always, there’s a slight catch.
Celeste said she’ll only come to the dance on one condition. Cordova has to find a date for her best friend, who, like Celeste, also is so hot that she might set off all the fire alarms at Dakota Ridge.
Could I make this up?
Cordova is now holding a contest at the school to find the perfect wingman. He’s also tweaking his date blueprints. He’s planning to pick up the ladies in a limo, of course. And hotspot Jing is hosting everyone for a pre-dance dinner.
“This is pretty fantastic,” Cordova says. “She’s really into the whole high school dance thing. I’m going to get a corsage, have our picture taken.”
You won’t need a picture, buddy. This memory ain’t going to fade.
Crawlin’
Looks like the pub crawl is back. They were considered just plain wrong about 25 years ago. The Mall Crawls were slapped down in Boulder and Denver.
Now comes the Mile High Pub Crawl, which had its initial outing Saturday with a “sports enthusiast” theme. About 150 people hit four LoDo bars starting at 7:30 p.m. — Tryst, then 24K, then The Sports Book and ending up at Oak Tavern. Ten bucks in advance got you one drink in each bar.
Organizers Peter Christou (yes, he’s the nephew of club king Regas Christou), Nathan Hildreth and Beau Langstan are around 30. Peter says they’re out to make a little coin but mostly to get some young people together to have fun and mix it up.
Mile High Pub Crawl comes down in Cherry Creek North on Feb. 16 — a free-floating tour of Mini Bar, Second Home and Argyll. Check it out at .
