A Playboy Woman
I think it’s pretty clear here—and even more obvious in the print version with the use of fonts—that it’s a stylistic homage to Playboy‘s classic covers. So it’s thematically spot-on. (Disclosure: I’m the editor and director of content for Playboy.com.)

Yes, it’s an homage to Playboy self-advertising. But it’s also misleading. Shame on the Chicago Reader.

A cabbie saved my life one night. Not literally—I wasn’t sick or hurt, just lonely beyond belief. That was winter of ’06, and I was living with an emotional Craiglist roommate in Ukrainian Village. I wanted to see lights and water and people, and put off coming back to the apartment, where nothing was in the fridge and my bed covers were just sad. But it was near midnight by the time I left the office, plus the middle of February, so nothing normal seemed possible. I told the cabbie I had $30 and no destination in mind, would he mind looping around for a while?
