Here we are.

Ah, so we are horrible. I know I said we would post again in October, but here it is weeks from Thanksgiving, and this page looks like Bonanza City before Kid Nation took over [mmm, pop culture].

It's like this: Frances and I have run out of steam on this project. We're finished for now. Maybe we'll come back to S.L.C. Pomp someday, but not now.

Of course, Frances isn't actually named Frances. Her name is Holly Leopardi. She's trying to graduate from high school a year early. She's applying to art schools, and running around with her City of Salt friends. She's recently aquired a pet cat. She's very grown up even if she acts like a snot sometimes. She looks like this:



Meanwhile, I am exploring Los Angeles. Celeb spotting,etc. I'm studying Russian and English Literature at Occidental College and running around the city doing all sorts of amazing things. I work at the college radio station on the promotions staff [and if you're bored one Friday, you can catch me on my radio show from 3-4 pm pacific, i.e. 4-5 s.l.c. time] and write the occasional freelance article. I spend a good portion of my day on Craigslist looking for an apartment, and I'm considering whether to study abroad in Prague next year.

Oh, yes, and my name is Kit Warchol. I look like this:



So you see, no mystery. We're just kids watching You Tube videos with aspirations of who-knows-what. We send each other facebook messages, and go to Panther shows. And we're beginning to grow up and away from Salt Lake. It's the place I go home to for Christmas, but you can't keep a street fashion blog running just on photos taken in the holiday season.

Holly and I have had some awesome times. We never expected this blog to blow up so fast. We haven't even done this for a year. It was just a project for us, and we liked it because it was fun to meet people around town and find out how their minds worked. But we're leaving on a high note. Maybe you'll see us around some day, and maybe we'll follow this up with something bigger and better. For now, though, we're just hangin' out.

In Magazine

Our fifteen minutes of fame are up. For those of you who didn't get to it or hear about it, Frances and I were the feature story in In Magazine last week. You can read it here in the archives.

As part of the celebration, Frances came to Los Angeles last week for a spring break visit. Fun was had, pictures were taken, and my nearest and dearest friends abandoned me to shower attention on her. Such is the way of SLC Pomp. For this reason, we have not added new Salt Lake hipsters to the blog. But we will probably post some photos from Los Angeles to compensate. Keep an eye out.

Thanks to everyone for their support and congratulations about the article. Our hearts are just bursting.

Recommends

Officially, I am at work.

Unofficially, I am spending the morning looking for new street fashion blogs in different cities. Lately, our link list has been looking a little lackluster, but hopefully these will cheer it (and you) up. Here are some of my favorites:

Hooks n Pegs (Winnipeg)
Street Fashion Copenhagen
Istanbul Street Style
Reykjavik Looks
Warsaw Streets
Street Fancy (San Francisco)

More to come later.

Morning Announcements

Hello friends! Oh my, the things that happen in a few short days when we go silent on updating. They are as follows:

1. Frances has acquired new pictures to be posted here shortly. This is an obvious development, but exciting nonetheless.
2. Frances also managed to get sick earlier this week after exhausting herself at the Capitol where she lurked outside of stylish legislators' offices in the hopes of catching a couple of them. This was met with little success (I certainly don't count the sore throat as a successful acquisition).
3. It has been raining in LA since 3 or 4 a.m. this morning and is also, apparently, raining in SLC. You may be tempted to stay inside. Do not. This causes problems for Frances and her photo-taking. It may also cause problems for her sore throat, the poor dear.
4. I have made my plane ticket purchases to return in March. Just you wait to see the intensity of an S.L.C. Pomp reunion.

And finally:
5. S.L.C. Pomp is planning on hosting a logo-drawing contest for our new flyers/website/myspace page. We're looking for anything cute, sappy, kitsch, glittery, or generally badass. Start thinking now, and we'll design some rules and come up with a winner's gift. Trust us, it's gonna be good.

Sincerely and utterly yours,
Cait

1,000

Dear Reader (that means you),
On Friday night when many people were out on the town, I watched the little counter at the bottom of the screen hit the 1,000 mark. Yes, I am that nerdy.

While 1,000 may be a humble number these days when you're talking about the price of a car, number of songs on your iPod, or times you check your Facebook or Myspace page daily, the thought of 1,000 people stopping by our site in just about a month (our first post was on January 3rd) sort of makes me hyperventillate. Especially when the daily visit numbers keep climbing.

So, you're probably thinking, "When's she going to get to the point?"

I don't have one. But for the same reason that I can stare at a computer screen and hit the refresh button until a four-digit number pops up under "Visitors", I can also make sentimental entries in sheer, neurotic excitement. Woody Allen style. Because who's more of an icon than Woody?

one more thing

S.L.C. Pomp is in the midst of acquiring a Myspace page for your convenience. The brunt of the action will continue here, but we know how you all like networking so we're creating an extension at this lovely address as a sort of science experiment. If you're into it, we'll keep it around.

Our plan is to send out bulletins and keep a calendar of local events so you can enjoy the scene thrills as much as we do. Because we're giving you an early heads up (we put the site up last night), you'll have to pardon our mess. But "under construction" doesn't mean you aren't welcome. Go ahead. Friend us.
