The "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" party started in 1999 as a ladies-only dance bash and fund-raiser for the Dallas Children's Theater. Good idea. Dress up, eat, giggle and spend money on raffle tickets for goodies like trips, all for a good cause. No men around to raise eyebrows. The 10th and final bash, A Decade of Divas, concludes the series, which has included themes like Girls Go Wild, It's a Chick Thing and Drop Dead Gorgeous. Ladies line up 7 to 10 p.m. Thursday at 7/Senses in the Dallas Design District, 1202 N. Industrial Blvd. Individual tickets are $150. Call 214-978-0110, ext. 174.
