Fashion E-commerce and street fairs go hand and hand.  Today's economic and global warming disasters are a downer.  So why not get shopping and help our fellow citizens of the world by purchasing goods made in third world countries.  What makes America unique is while we are consumed with day breaking news covering all of our woes, more than 3/4 of our total population has some sort of protection. Either limited, we're all far more comfortable than the rest.  Although much is changing in our own world, I think its time we move on with our lives by finding small solutions as we enjoy our lives.  Fashion should not be about arming ourselves in mere statements, strew on blue body paint and a David and Goliath panties, but lets not forget that for decades fashion meant to be frivolous...At least seen through the eyes of geeks and politicians.  Nowadays sans 9-11 everything is mayhem and so I ask, are we supposed to forget about how we to decorate ourselves?  In light of the traumas surrounding us, Americans should be happy that we can get dressed up and go out to dinner or shopping.  Even if it is only to McDonald's and K-mart!  Instead, lets put some TLC into our purchases....local vendors in NYC are bringing out the best in African and Indigenous Latino arts and crafts.
