Been reading lately?

If we've got one exemplary hang out in Salt Lake, it's the downtown library. Bars? Puh. Night Clubs? Yeh'right. You all know we're right on this one.

2007: The Year of the Rat-tail (pt. 1)

Recently, we here at S.L.C. Pomp have been working on updating our up-dos! Something that never goes out of style is healthy hair--so Cait sacrificed an inch of her long, lovely locks to annual split-end removal, while Frances decided to rock the unstyled mohawk. Each seems to be growing into it quite comfortably. And what’s healthier than a mullet? We’ve noted a growing number of styled mullets moving along Main Street, and appreciate the satire. Here are our other picks for 2007 trends:

Both Cait and Frances see this as the year of the dress--so go pick up yours at the local D.I. Recently, the downtown location (5th South & Maine) has had a spectacular array of options to fill your closets. Also in abundance at the D.I.: oversized flannel shirts in various prints that are a great addition to any wardrobe.

We’ve found a new love in public transport. You may see us on TRAX in our hunt for street style. As horrifying as it sounds, UTA is cemented in our two hearts, and doesn’t seem to be dislodging anytime soon. We’re not the only ones. Several of the photos on our site are from downtown TRAX stops and the University line. Clearly, fashionable 20-somethings have the same idea.

S.L.C. Pomp throws its votes to the downtown library branch as the most style-oriented place to be this year, from people checking out local music CDS to library employees . Come on out in your finest and promenade through the front revolving doors. We all love being intellectual.

Finally, if you're thirsty during your travels, it's our pleasure to suggest the Beehive Tea Room (12 West & 300 South), our main haunt when our fingers begin to freeze after roaming the chilly city streets. Its adorable interior design complements any clothing style from mohawks to pantyhose. The hot chocolate is amazing—Frances recommends the American, Cait the European. The tea ain’t bad either.

Take this into account as you head out of the house. We’ll be adding more recommendations later. Feel free to leave your feedback. Don’t forget to peruse past entries and check for upcoming posts!

A brief (photoless) update

Dear S.LC. Pomp Reader,

Frances and I would like to take a moment to update you on our progress. This site has been up for 7 days. We're a little dumfounded by the short time span. In one week, we've managed to average 27 visitors per day, hitting a record of 22 different visits in an hour this weekend. We've had visitors from all over the state, San Antonio, New York City, Portland, and Illinois. Not to mention a couple of people from France and Germany.

In our opinion, that isn't bad at all.

Frances and I traversed Salt Lake City yesterday to find some new photos and, despite a slow day of walking traffic, will be updating tonight or tomorrow morning. Some of you have complained about no new updates. Noted. We're planning on spending as much time as possible this week roaming with camera and notepad in hand.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank each person who has allowed us to invade his/her daily life, answered our questions of "Where's [fill in the article of clothing] from?" and "Where do you shop in Utah?", and posed for photos without the opportunity to primp or prepare. You all look adorable.

Keep checking back. We're enjoying your interest almost as much as we enjoy taking these photos.
