Whiskey Girl Tavern, 6318 N. Clark St., hosted a sold-out Moulin Rouge-themed party featuring burlesque performances by the Newly Dead Production troupe, owned by Violet Chaos and LX Song. Local performers Shara Maxwell and Alejandro Uragaste provided a jazz backdrop, while a DJ kept the dance floor packed.
