Spend this afternoon imagining what Paris feels like, through French songs, French hip-hop and a French fashion show. This is the five-hour music party organized by Paris Huang, who refuses to reveal his Chinese name and guarantees 100 percent pure French theme for the afternoon.
Called Paris Vogue, it's a laid back lounge party at Deep from 2pm to 7pm. Huang is a DJ at Power 98.9 radio station, hosting a French theme music show for two years, and introduces European music for BMG, Warner music labels. He even has his own e-newsletter at http://come.to/parish. His romantic fervor about all things French has made him one of the few professional DJs in Taiwan specializing in French music.

In order to visualize his Parisian fantasy, the entrance of Deep will be decorated with old black and white photos. And there will be 20 models treading the boards in a seven-segment fashion show, including 1950s vogue, the embrace of femininity, and 18th century costumes. Lou Concepture Design is in charge of the fashion show.
However the most important part is the music. From 2pm to 4pm Huang will spin retro chansons, a music that reflects post-war Paris, including popular singer Enzo Enzo. From 4pm to 5:30pm will be groove time, composed of French reggae, hip-hop and the unique, North-African influenced Rai music, featuring rap singers such as MC Solaar. And from 5:30pm to 7pm will be time for the feet, with house music and Latin dance music, including dance diva Mylene Farmer. Call it romanticism, but the music and shows will only cost NT $300.
Nine Taiwanese nervously stand on an observation platform at Tokyo’s Haneda International Airport. It’s 9:20am on March 27, 1968, and they are awaiting the arrival of Liu Wen-ching (柳文卿), who is about to be deported back to Taiwan where he faces possible execution for his independence activities. As he is removed from a minibus, a tenth activist, Dai Tian-chao (戴天昭), jumps out of his hiding place and attacks the immigration officials — the nine other activists in tow — while urging Liu to make a run for it. But he’s pinned to the ground. Amid the commotion, Liu tries to
A dozen excited 10-year-olds are bouncing in their chairs. The small classroom’s walls are lined with racks of wetsuits and water equipment, and decorated with posters of turtles. But the students’ eyes are trained on their teacher, Tseng Ching-ming, describing the currents and sea conditions at nearby Banana Bay, where they’ll soon be going. “Today you have one mission: to take off your equipment and float in the water,” he says. Some of the kids grin, nervously. They don’t know it, but the students from Kenting-Eluan elementary school on Taiwan’s southernmost point, are rare among their peers and predecessors. Despite most of
A pig’s head sits atop a shelf, tufts of blonde hair sprouting from its taut scalp. Opposite, its chalky, wrinkled heart glows red in a bubbling vat of liquid, locks of thick dark hair and teeth scattered below. A giant screen shows the pig draped in a hospital gown. Is it dead? A surgeon inserts human teeth implants, then hair implants — beautifying the horrifyingly human-like animal. Chang Chen-shen (張辰申) calls Incarnation Project: Deviation Lovers “a satirical self-criticism, a critique on the fact that throughout our lives we’ve been instilled with ideas and things that don’t belong to us.” Chang
The resignation of Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) co-founder Ko Wen-je (柯文哲) as party chair on Jan. 1 has led to an interesting battle between two leading party figures, Huang Kuo-chang (黃國昌) and Tsai Pi-ru (蔡壁如). For years the party has been a one-man show, but with Ko being held incommunicado while on trial for corruption, the new chair’s leadership could be make or break for the young party. Not only are the two very different in style, their backgrounds are very different. Tsai is a co-founder of the TPP and has been with Ko from the very beginning. Huang has
