Q:Do i need a new swimsuit
A: NO.

I am biased and do not really like the swim wear that is commonly around these days, most of them leave little to the imagination. other then that who decided triangles were attractive? well anyway y here are some classics that i like.

So I am currently dong some sketches to see what style I decide to continue with :) Wish me Luck
