This week's hot happenings in Chicago
Tonight, September 15th, the debauchery continues with
Stigma, an Industry Fetish and Rock & Roll party which happens the 3rd Tuesday of every month at Empire Liquors (1566 N. Milwaukee). This month is a back to school theme. My experience at
last month's Stigma was pretty rousing. Leave the snake at home this time please, ladies.
On September 16th,
Lady Jack brings a burlesque carnival flair to the
No-Tell Motel from 10-midnight at Debonair Social Club (1575 N. Milwaukee), featuring electronic music, decadent costuming, and creative performances, including 3 gals from The Ripettes Burlesque (
Dixie More, Sushi Martinez, and
Miss Jeez Loueez) as well as
Natasha Minsk.Finding a space between the theatricality of neo-burlesque and the energy of the Chicago club scene, Lady Jack invites you to indulge in a night of beautiful and (mostly) sophisticated seduction.
RSVP in advance for free champagne at 9pm.
Other events:
If you can't make it to No-Tell Motel, you can also catch Lady Jack in
The Wild
Party, a Silent Theatre Company adaptation of a 20's poem about the
tumultuous relationship between a dancer and her lover. Read my review
of the show on
Centerstage for details.
Join The Impact Chicago (JTIC) and the
Glenwood Bar invite you to "Fashion for Equality" this Thursday,
September 17 from 8-11pm at The Glenwood (6962 N. Glenwood Ave) to
benefit the Chicago contingent of the
National Equality March. Support the grassroots efforts of the LGBTQ community and have
fun while doing it. All proceeds raised by JTIC will help bring as many people as possible

Michigan Avenue magazine and the
Redhead Piano Bar invite you to
Redhead Revue this Thursday, September 17th from 6-8pm at The Redhead
Piano Bar (16 W. Ontario St). The Redhead is looking for a fun,
fabulous redhead to appear in their new ad. Is it you?
Not a redhead?
No problem - you can still enjoy specialty cocktails and vote for your favorite. RSVP

The Revolution has begun...at the toilet? Yes, gender offenders and
outlaws will be reclaiming public toilets this Saturday, September 19th
from 9:45-11:45am with some quiet public theater. If you are
interested in drawing public attention (in an underground, guerrilla
action sort of way) to an all-too-common issue in the genderqueer
community, contact
Genderqueer Chicago and get in on the organizing!
