About this Portfolio
The poppy plant has a long, illustrious history as a narcotic of psychedelic and relaxing properties. The drug, opium, which has been used for centuries upon centuries by visionaries, artists, and pleasure seekers, is sourced in the poppy flower. Its hallucinatory effects have spawned worlds of literature and art, including, of course, the picturesque scene in “The Wizard of Oz” when Dorothy and her fellow travelers fall asleep just over the hill from the Emerald City.
In this new series, entitled Poppies, and starring Katka, we are given visible evidence of the soporific (definition: “causing sleep or relaxation”) qualities of the poppy flower. Only in this instance, we are not ingesting the flower through our mouths, we are ingesting Katka through our eyes. Her innocent beauty, her angelic playfulness, and her gentle posing style all add up to a glorious, mellowing vision that is pleasing to all the senses.
Katka has been enjoying some popularity of late. She seems to be experiencing that sort of fame that makes her “the model of the moment.” Perhaps it’s her adorable freckles, her perfect body, or her shock of startling white curly hair. Whatever it is, you can sure that FEMJOY has the best Katka around. No one shoots her like our staff. And we are pleased to offer her to you in all her soporific glory.
