What a night! A mish-mash comprised of the Windy City's editorial community filled Whiskey Sky bar enjoying drinks, appetizers and conversation. Laurel and her pink boa made a special trip to Chicago to spend the evening with Oprah.com and our incredible Chicago community members. A huge thanks to Oprah.com for making the evening so spectacular!
