BME.freeq.com "Soft Toy Department"

"... 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

PAPER Magazine
XXX Zine"Dr. Ducky DooLittle and Katrina del Mar are back with one of their sauciest books to date. Who Touched My Monkey? is a tale of heart wringing deceit, steamy wheelchair bondage, spankable ruffled panties and stolen sock monkeys."
