Katarina Van Derham is a lovely dining companion, among other things.

All the editorial staff at elliottharris.com knows is Tasha Reign will be the headline performer Friday and Saturday for the five-year anniversary of Atlantis Gentlemen’s Club in Ford Heights. She is scheduled to take the stage at 11 p.m. and 2 a.m. Information is available at AtlantisChicago.com.
The photo research staff around here was able to come up with a picture of Tasha that even has a sports theme.
“It’s such an honor to perform on the five-year anniversary of the club,” Tasha said. “I have some surprises planned for my routines in order to make sure we kick the celebration off right. It’s going to be a hot couple of nights in Chicago!”
