The List

Hump This

Wear: Puma Basket 90s Champs Chicago

At O&I: 2205 N Halsted St, at W Webster; Lincoln Park; 773.281.5583

These just released, ltd-edition kicks are an ode to the Bulls' decade of dominance: black/red/white, with Chicago's skyline in patent leather wrapping around the heel. Meanwhile, Detroit's decade of semi-dominance will be commemorated on a pair of Crocs, with the skyline in flames.

Drive: Chicago Exotic Car Tour

29 S LaSalle St, at W Madison; Loop; 866.661.1054

Spend three hours test driving five exotic autos that cost nearly a million bucks combined: Ferrari F430, Lamborghini Gallardo, Porsche 911 S Cabriolet, Bentley Continental Flying Spur, and the Aston Martin DB9 Volante -- the car Kobe Bryant jumped over when promoting his new Nikes, after the director's entreaty of "Just do it...or no more Nutella!"

Click: Thinking of Drinking

This North Shore Distillery co-owner details her boozing travels (New Orleans, Louisville, etc), doles out recipes (Tamarind Lemongrass Mojito), profiles renowned mixologists (Sepia's Peter Vestinos), and ventures controversial opinions: apparently, women can drink scotch, while a man should feel free to order berry margaritas despite sporting a pair of his own.

Wash: Tempus Auto Spa

1240 N Halsted St, at W. Division; Near North Side; 312.664.5900

Through June 1, this recently opened high-end "auto spa" is knocking $50 off their interior/exterior detailing package (or $5 off a basic wash). Instead of leaning against a payphone, wait it out in the lounge, w/ free coffee, a flatscreen, and computer terminals for checking AutoTrader.com when you realize not even a cucumber facial could pretty up your Corolla.

To get the deal, just mention Thrillist; more info at TempusAutoSpa.com

Watch: SFW Playboy Videos

Hoping to become Playboy's 55th Anniversary Centerfold, two Chicagoans slink around in bikinis while showcasing their talents (imaginary hula hoop-ing; jumping on a bed) and career aspirations (have fun; be a go-go dancing dolphin trainer?).

Peep the YouTubes here.
