CHICAGO, (February 2, 2012) – Crimson Lounge is excited to present a special edition of Sugar Hi Saturday featuring the beautiful Summer Altice. On Saturday, February 18, the former playboy centerfold and GQ cover girl returns once more to Chicago for her monthly residency at the Sax Chicago’s sultry lounge from 10 p.m. to 3 a.m. Summer Altice pours some extra sugar on Sugar Hi as she joins resident DJ Amy D in kicking off the Brazilian Carnaval holiday. A debaucherous six-day party filled with dancing, drinking, and singing, the Brazilian Carnaval is the biggest party on the planet. Join the madness of the Brazilian Carnival with sexy Summer Altice at the one and only Sugar Hi.

There’s no question that the beautiful and talented Summer Altice is a classic all-American dream girl. The former California coed volleyball player bumped, set, and spiked her way into a top-notch modeling career and a swelling acting résumé, with appearances in a pair of Owen Wilson comedies, Wedding Crashers and You, Me and Dupree, as well as in Shanghai Kiss and The Scorpion King. Summer has also co-starred in the incredibly popular series CSI: NY, Medium, One Tree Hill, and the acclaimed HBO show Entourage. Playboy Playmate Summer Altice has been featured on the cover of GQ and stole the spotlight in her photo shoots for men’s magazine Maxim. While some ‘it girls" moments in the spotlight are fleeting, Summer Altice has only gotten hotter, moving up from #52 on Maxim’s Hot 100 list to #27 in Maxim’s list of the 100 Most Beautiful Women. As a DJ, her high-energy sets heat up nights at the Playboy Mansion, and she has performed at some of the top nightclubs throughout the world, from Playhouse in Hollywood and Union nightclub in L.A to world famous clubs such as Opus and Republiq in Manilla and Borcay Island’s Epic. In addition to her new monthly residency at Crimson Lounge, Summer is a resident DJ at the famous Las Vegas nightclub Deuces Lounge in the Aria Resort and Casino.

The West Coast certainly has the sunshine this time of year, and California girl Summer Altice brings it to the windy city as she returns to Crimson for her monthly residency alongside resident DJ Amy D for Sugar Hi on Saturday, February 18. Sugar Hi guests will be invited to enjoy $6 Caipirinha cocktails in honor of the Brazilian Carnaval, as well as a hosted Bacardi cocktail reception from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m. Guests will also enjoy $200 bottles of Dragon Bleu vodka and Crimson’s special $150 birthday and bachelorette party packages which include a bottle of Absolut or Chambord vodka, complimentary bottle of champagne, and dessert platter.

About Crimson Lounge | Located in the Sax Chicago hotel, Crimson Lounge is an opulent vision of Victorian romance infused with new world energy. Adorned with the deep reds and purples of its namesake, softly lit chandeliers, and walls emblazoned with sixteenth and seventeenth century oil paintings, Crimson is a popular spot for savoring specialty cocktails—the Crimson Manhattan, Persephone, and the D. Rose—which all underscore the playful kitsch of the lounge’s vampy décor. With vintage boudoir furniture and private nooks perfect for soaking up bottles, the Victorian-themed lounge exudes an eclectic, sexy vibe. Thanks to a new, state-of-the-art sound system and DJ bookings which have included the likes of Gilles Peterson, Derrick Carter, and Dimitri from Paris, Crimson is quickly becoming a forward-thinking music destination for crowds of savvy, hip types, especially for its weekly Wednesday industry night, Commonwealth.
