Fast Fashion Loop

A species that gobbles through its resources faster and faster, stimulated by a "system" that needs more and more participants because its supported and is the tool of a bank system that is kept afloat by creating debt  so it can feed itself on interest. And as part of the system tries to then grow..I think the mind of the system has been trapped in a loop. Despite all the tech and tools or maybe because of them- the species itself  hasn't had what it takes to dismantle its mistaken identity.

Detroit Dolly

Dolly Rocker Lookfound on Etsy!
part of the Detroit reDux ...the city that is about urban reclaim and soon to be the home of the US Social Forum 2010, is where Cara Lundgren does refashion and vintage upcycles that are on Etsy right now.
I am loving it! i remember the first time i saw Doc Marten meet a nostalgic floral; aah yes! These Grunge heyday re-ups are about looking forward and that Feminine /Masculine mix feels right ...especially now (the integrated self brings forth the connected world view).
Maybe Detroit will be the City of Sustainable Styling?
In Cara's immortal words "More shameless self promotion... a girls got to make a living! http://www.etsy.com/shop/detroitdolly"
damn straight!
