"This is filth of the highest quality, folks!" -Peter Bagge
"Photographer Katrina del Mar isn't here to make nice-She's here to make art."
"Photographer Katrina del Mar delves into genuine family values. While these folks may not be bound by blood, their interdependence is no less strong."
(Four + 1/2 stars) "...everything you could want in an indie flick and more"-Film Threat
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
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."
