Hey Slugs,

We're stitching together a new project, which will be published in PRINT at the end of this quarter. We want to show off the amazing creativity and talent that is found on our UCSC campus. If you have something to share, get involved! 

We're looking for anything to do with the topics of Fashion, Personal Style, Body Image, and Identity. Submissions could range from photography, poetry, or literally just a very impressive doodle. Original work is preferred, but not necessary: if you've done a relevant project in the past, feel free to submit!

Email/Message us for more info, but do it fast because the deadline to submit is May 16th!

“I’m a little bit country, and I’m a little bit rock n roll.” The immortal words of Donny & Marie Osmond inspire Tomboy, a boutique located at 1207 Soquel Avenue in Santa Cruz. The shop, owned by Debbie Graves and Summer Duppen, carries vintage and vintage-inspired clothing and accessories. The vibe is immediately warm and welcoming - shoppers can relax in antique wooden furniture or peruse vintage records for sale. One of Tomboy’s best assets is its well-curated selection of merchandise, in particular a huge selection of vintage cowboy boots, as well as leather and denim jackets.

Tomboy has stood out from other local vintage and used clothing stores by having a unique and well-crafted vision. Each piece inexplicably says, “Tomboy.” Some of my favorites were a vintage denim jumpsuit from the 1970s and two leather and suede capes from the 1960s. Tomboy is simultaneously nostalgic and fresh - each vintage piece can be transformed into an entirely modern look. This was the goal of SlugStyle’s collaboration with Tomboy: to pay homage to the past while incorporating newer styles.
