Narziß: October 2008

Welcome to Narziß {1. n.,rel.- narcissus; 2. pronunc.- narzib}

1. Narziß is a Tokyo-based party for exquisite and arrogant dandiacals

***Every Other Week at Tokyo's most stylish spaces***

Narziß is influenced by a sense of exquisiteness, atemporality and mythology. Narziß would like to gather people who are evoked by the way they look and exist everyday. Narziß is also a medium where their resident artists will show their work devoted to beauty.

2. There is no TWO

3. Narziß is a new project by THEFASHIONRAMONE AKA TFR

TFR is known as the countercultural media related to the world of fashion and the club scene in Tokyo.

Rather than political, Narziß is meant to be a fantastic space where the sophisticated dandiacals can do their best: display their fashions and get hedonistic together.

5. Music

Narziß is not loud, we have the volume of a salon, a rather contemporary salon. We play the best music of all time: jazz, experimental folk, balkan grooves, classical, 70's disco, psychedelia, french pop, house and others. We like to watch friends dancing, but we love to enjoy a nice conversation at the same time.

6. Narziß Hosts

Narziß is hosted by Gallermic and TFR YARIMANCHINZ*, the most arrogant dandiacals in Tokyo. We asked them how much they would charge if a customer wanted to take them home, if you want to know their price visit http://www.myspace.com/narzib

*YARIMANCHIN in English: 'Horny Hermaphrodite', 'Trisexual' or 'Playcuntcock'.

...Mind if I smoke while you are eating Me for the last time?
Next Narziß is our last party: an erotic fantastic farewell at the superb Trump Room. We are saying bye-bye after 21 parties: it's like the magical 7 x 3, the number of the perfection by excellence and of the individuality according to the numerology. For us is inhuman and perfect: like a triangle. For how extraordinary have We been all this time, after all... It’s arousing: Ciao for now. And deep throat to you all!

P.s. Expect the best music of all time by exquisite selectors, plus Naokoula Rising and your groovy self.
P.p.s. We don't want to be uncouth (but We want to be called uncouth), BUT this is the last party, the last photos, and the last chance to represent your groovy self... and there is NO turning back!
