What Would the Countess Do?: Date Invites Via Social Media; Adapting to a New Job

When it comes to etiquette, manners and overall good behavior, even celebrities need help navigating the rough waters of stardom! It’s a good thing Countess LuAnn de Lesseps of the Real Housewives of New York is joining forces with OK! to school them on the right thing to do! In a rough situation, we just ask, “What Would the Countess Do?” This week the Countess discusses asking someone out through social media and adapting to a new job.

Sgt. Scotty Moore asked Mila Kunis to his Marine Ball on YouTube — is it appropriate to ask out someone (normal people, not just celebs!) through social media?

SGT Scotty Moore asked Mila Kunis to the Marine Ball on You Tube because (in his own words), “I do feel bad for putting her on the spot, but it's not like I was going to bump into her on the streets of Musa Qal'eh between now and the ball.” In this case, because he was deployed in Afghanistan, it was appropriate for SGT Moore to use social media but I think for most of us, it’s better to pick up the phone or use email to ask someone out.
