I found these sources by searching the Cabell Library Database. I used the search terms "3D Body Scanning and Apparel Industry". After I went through the results I also searched them on Google Scholar. I plan on going to the library and looking further for actual text about 3D Body Scanning.

-That skirt is so fetch, what is it made from?

-Milk. 

-Wait. WHAT?

This article is about Anke Domaske, a biochemist turned fashion designer, who has not only turned milk into fabric, but made clothes out of it and sold them!

I’m honestly not quite sure what I’m going to write this paper on. I’m still stumped and working on brainstorming.

This article from Cornell University is about body scanning, a technological advancement in the evolution of sizing mass produced clothing.

This short video demonstrates how the body scanning process begins.

While talking about the economy this week I thought about the different ways there are to help stimulate it. I really like the idea of recycling and how nothing should go to waste so I did some research and found this article about the economic impact of the recycling industry.

The Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI) released a study in late 2013 that revealed that the recycling industry accounts for nearly half a million jobs in the U.S. and brings about $87 billion annually in economic activity. The report states that the recycling industry is responsible for 462,780 direct and indirect jobs. Those numbers are hard not to ignore considering we are in a recession and jobs are a scarce commodity.

Do you guys recycle? Did anyone know that recycling created jobs and stimulated the economy?

❝ If I were just your average 23-year-old girl, and I called the police to say that there were strange men sleeping on my lawn and following me to Starbucks, they would leap into action. But because I am a famous person, well, sorry, ma’am, there’s nothing we can do. It makes no sense … I am just not OK with it. It’s as simple as that. I am just a normal girl and a human being, and I haven’t been in this long enough to feel like this is my new normal. I’m not going to find peace with it.
