Printed on high quality paper so you don't have dirty fingers when you put it down. Solid columnists. They're not afraid to write original articles and take stands on local government policy and openly discuss bureaucratic corruption. Greg Hinz is mildly annoying but makes up for it with surprisingly piercing insight and wit. My favorite regular feature is the back page Info Junkie column where they take a local business bigwig and ask them what pubs they subscribe to, most recently read and favorite books. And their multitude of yearly lists, like Chicago's 40 under 40 and the Big Book of Lists are the epitome of coolness in a business pub.

Since CS is free, anyone and everyone from the unwashed masses to the landed gentry who bathe in C-Notes can pick up a copy and get up to speed on local dining, parties, shopping, clothing, interior design and who's who in the local social scene (read: benefit attendees). Since CS is glossy, you can sit in your Gold Coast condo and spill your champagne on it or in your Rogers Park hovel and spill Diet RC on it and still be no worse for the wear, as the spillage will run right off, and you can continue perusing high culture. Dahling, isn't that fah-bulous? Ooh-kay, gurl? Basically, what CS is is a bunch of advertising and rah-rah PR that caters to those with substantial disposable income, those who clamor to one day have substantial disposable income and the pretentious who fall somewhere in the middle. Holla. It's about restaurants, shopping, clothing, jewelry, real estate, interior design and parties. It's to be taken more as entertainment than as informational, and it's always to be taken with a grain of salt. No publication with opinions written in the pretentious first person plural (e.g., "We felt the decor, ambiance and sushi were simply fabulous") is to be taken seriously on general principle. Probably the best part of CS is the section with the party photos. It's always interesting to see where the who's who and celebs are partying, with whom and whether or not they're hot. One must know every month where Bill Kurtis and Donna LaPietra are partying, or one may not be able to go out on the social scene for fear of embarrassment when discourse convenes over cocktails. Whether you're dirt poor or filthy rich, we recommend picking up a copy of CS monthly. It's an amazing way to plug into local society and get up to speed on everything that's fabulous locally. We'll see you on Michigan Avenue, dah-lings. Five stars.
