Second Date Update: It is very obvious that Sasha lives by the rule of bigger is better! However Sasha may have overshared on her date with Chris. First the date started off at Parkshore Grill in St Pete. After ordering Sasha when into detail about an upcoming surgery she has coming up. She did not sugar coat the fact that this surgery was for a breast augmentation. In should be noted that this was not what Chris had a problem with but the fact that it was the only thing she talked about. Things got even more awkward on our phone call when we asked Sasha what she learned about Chris on their date. Let's just say that bigger is better in the mind of Sasha.
