If at first you do not suceed

  
One of my favorite R&B female artists has always been Aaliyah, besides being brilliant at her work as an artist she was easy on the eye, no doubt. However for the context of today entry Aaliyah sang a song, "if at first you do not succeed, dust yourself off and try again"

That said, if I have not mentioned it before then let me use this opportunity now. Every camera owner from you point and shoot dude to your professional tog has a field be it for work or for personal joy, a genre that (s)he would want to specialize in.

I want to be that tog that wakes up in the morning goes into the office only to discover that I will be flying out to some exotic island with palm trees, fishing boats, little villages, waterfalls and three star hotels on the beach front to do a swimsuit shoot.

Needless to say until that happens *fingers crossed* Cape Town and off days will have to do.

Sorry i was drifting, a dirty habit or maybe not.

Cape Town has good weather but it is also a major tourist attraction add to that its residents that has a large population of sun worshipers swimsuit shoots are not the easy to pull off add to this equation the day job, models not pitching and bad weather.

So with that as the foundation to my long winded story I had the honor of working with Aubz who had this cool polka heart bikini that I found totally stunning however on our first outing when we looked at the work done I discovered that the frill of the bottom was flipped up causing an eye sore.

Aubz and I were left with one of two choice scrap the work or redo it. Personally if it is possible to redo it then by all means do so, if not note your short coming and make every effort not to repeat the mistake
