After closing its doors for a long nap, High Maintenance Bitch reopens this weekend. If you haven't heard of High Maintenance Bitch (HMB) or read the sassy, pink book by the same name, or watched brother-and-sister founders Lori and Ryan Pacchiano on reality TV (Ryan most recently on Showdog Moms and Dads), you probably aren't the proud, pampering parent of a blinged-out lap dog.
