Did you have a little too much fun last night? Do you like to laugh? If you answered 'yes' to any of these questions then you won't want to miss Daisy and Jordan's Sunday Brunch of Shame.

Daisy and Jordan's Sunday Brunch of Shame is the perfect antidote to a night of bad decisions. Complete with a semi-nude hunk, great tunes, bottomless brunch libations, and pop quizzes with prizes! (Legal note: Appearance of 'semi-nude hunk' contingent on the procurement of a hunk who doesn't mind being abjectly objectified for the pleasure of Daisy and Jordan.).
