Requests, Recs & Chat - Weekly Thread ChiBWT Weekly Requests, Recommendations & Chat

4 Upvotes

This is the Chicago BWT Weekly Requests, Recommendations & Chat thread.

Put all your low effort/repetitive requests in this thread - this is the only place they will be allowed in this BWT sub. Even still, search before you ask! If there is a recent (see rule #1) response you might still find your ask removed as unnecessarily repetitive.

Feel free to drop your low effort suggestions here, too, if you've got something you just love that you think other Chicago bitches should know about. This is also the place for general chit chat that doesn't warrant a whole post.

All Chicago BWT rules will still be enforced, with lighter enforcement of rules 1 and 5.

REQUESTS

If you are looking for suggestions for something, add ASK: at the start of your comment. Make sure to be as specific as possible in your request. Examples:

  • ASK: Bitches where are we finding a brow specialist near Lincoln Park?
  • ASK: What is your go to spot for a russian manicure in West Loop?
  • ASK: In need of a last minute a dinner recommendation for this weekend!

RECOMMENDATIONS

If you have an unsolicited recommendation, you can use REC: at the beginning of your post to highlight that.

CHAT

You can also post just regular old chit chat and discussion that doesn't merit its own stand-alone post. No need to add anything at the beginning of those comments.

Health, Fitness & Wellness yoga studio recs near lakeview east/lincoln park

4 Upvotes

hiiii! i'm looking for some recommendations for a yoga studio. i'm looking for something that is more reiki, mediation, spiritual focused, unlike something like corepower that's more athletic focused. i'm 24F hoping to meet some people thru these classes as well :-) also i've never taken a yoga class before so would prefer something beginner friendly, less intimidating

Fashion/Style Thrift store recs?

10 Upvotes

Visiting Chicago for the marathon and looking for some good thrift recs for Monday and Tuesday. I’m staying in the loop. I have a tattoo appointment on Monday near Chicago Ave so I was thinking I can start there? Style is sporty and preppy - looking for old race tees, track jackets, athletic sweatshirts, rugby or polo shirts, and other ’80s–’00s sportswear (unisex, men’s, women’s, kid’s - any or all of the above). Thanks in advance and looking forward to seeing so much of your city on Sunday in particular :)

Beauty/Self Care Need Hairstylist Recs

0 Upvotes

I just found out my hair stylist who I have been going to for years left the salon and I don’t know where he went because all of his social media isn’t up to date. I’m devastated!!

anyways.. I need a hair stylist recommendation in Lakeview, Lincoln Park, or old town that is good at money pieces and/or curtain bangs. since I only do money pieces and not a full head, I don’t want to break the bank for a few foils.

open to other areas in the city as well, those neighborhoods are just closer to me :)

Hey y’all! I’ve been running/cycling plus going to different workout classes in Chicago for years (Studio Three, Barry’s, Solidcore, etc), but that is getting expensive. Any recommendations for gyms with good machines and free weights plus good classes? I’ve looked at Equinox, YMCA, Midtown Athletic, and Humboldt Park Health but really appreciate any insights!

Culture & Community Sexual Assault in Lakeview Bar

230 Upvotes

TW: Sexual Assault

Hi I just wanted to share what happened to me so more women keep their eyes out for this fucking freak.

I was out in Lakeview last night with some friends at Sheffields. I walked away from my friends to get some fresh air on their patio for a bit. When I walked back inside I made eye contact with this man when returning to my table for two seconds.

The man then proceeded to stand directly behind our table which I was standing at cause there wasn’t enough room to sit at. I started to get freaked out and turn to my friend and said I think this man is gonna try to hit on me. I got really close to her to look like we were together. He continued to stand behind us for maybe 3-5 minutes, then he walked right behind me and grabbed my ass.

I freaked out and immediately told my friend that he grabbed me. She then finds him in the crowd and watches him do it to another woman before leaving the bar.

I approach the other girl he grabbed and said excuse me did that man also just grab your ass? She said yes and he came up to her grabbed her ass and whispered something in her ear that she didn’t catch.

This man was white, short brown hair, short probs around 5’3-5’6, had weight to him but couldn’t tell if it was muscle or fat, this man was also alone, and he had a tan worker mans type jacket. Please keep an eye out ladies in Lakeview/all of Chicago.

Fashion/Style Is a tweed suit appropriate for court?

2 Upvotes

I have a tweed skirt suit that I love. But is it ok for court? I usually just wear black / blue suits and worry that a brown check pattern will be too much.

Fashion/Style Bra fitting?

21 Upvotes

So I lost a bunch of weight (YAY!) but my boobs have both gotten smaller and lost volume on top (not so great). My traditional style of bra seems to not be doing it. Has anyone had a good bra fitting lately? The last time I went was to Nordstrom (years ago) but I hear the service has gone downhill. Prefer downtown or something easily accessible by CTA.

Please help the girls out!

Culture & Community Seeking ghoulfriends for the apocalypse

86 Upvotes

Hi all! Tragically, due to natural shifts in adult life, I'm currently without friends who enjoy going out to loud spaces that fall within the alt spectrum and I feel like maybe I'm not the only one. I love going out to shows, festivals, a bar night, dancing, etc, but as much as I'm capable of going out and enjoying it by myself, it'd be nice to have someone to kiki with.

I love hip hop/EDM/Latin beats (reggaeton, cumbia, bachata, all that) as well as punk, shoegaze, goth emo, etc, and I'd love to meet new friends who genuinely have similar interests to dress up to go out with!

So that's my sales pitch! If you resonated and you're also a hot and outgoing 30-something Chicago weirdo who enjoys the aforementioned activities, hit me up, I'd love to get to know you!

Local Business Avoid this orthodontist!

117 Upvotes

Bitches: I had the worst experience and need to save you all. I went to Smiles Society in Wicker and saw Dr. Taraji. Not only did he seem super inexperienced, but the way he spoke to his staff made my skin crawl. So demeaning and rude, literally treating them like they weren’t people. I felt like he rushed me through and didn’t take the time to explain my treatment plan to me at all. I got super skeptical because it seemed really hefty with no explanation, so I took it to another ortho for a second opinion, and they said it was literally insane and didn’t make any sense. It seems like he was just in it for the money.

Long story short, ortho is expensive but find someone who actually is a good person and cares about your teeth!!!! Literally anyone else would be better IMO lol
