Ask the MB: Champagne for Spectacular Bitch Date

Ask the MB: Champagne for Spectacular Bitch Date

--Andre

A: Andre, we've previously covered this issue with our highly scientific champagne chart, and it applies to your outing with an SB. Take note: the more she skews towards the B side of the SB spectrum, pay closer attention to the x axis of our chart.
