New fashion trends are on a constant spinning cycle to keep our material world afloat: but at what point does this spiraling frenzy become too much? When it becomes the norm to see a ‘period authentic’ plastic Jesus figurine with ‘five new sayings’ perched next to the latest Barbie in tiny glitter hot pants in Toys ‘R’ Us, is it not time to step back and evaluate the moral issues at hand?
