"... it is barely possible to describe The Soft Toy Department's sense of synchronicity a week later in encountering the mythic Kembra Pfahler in person -- at the Greenwich Village nightclub Life, to witness the unveiling of photo phenom Katrina del Mar's latest exhibit American Toughie. Here, del Mar's probing lens and lovingly manipulated prints pay unflinching homage to the polymorphic preversity of today's rough-trade urban youth." -Mark Kramer
