Harem girl:  The word ‘harem’ comes from the Arabic for ‘forbidden’ or ’sacred’. This is a baffling contradiction. Why should something sacred be forbidden? When you look at Cat lounging sensously in the golden light of her harem, you can understand why her exquisite beauty might be considered sacred. She’s a rarity in our modern world, a truly beautiful woman unashamed of being beautiful. The gift she gives the viewer is a glimspe of something wonderful and uniquely feminine, and it’s easy to see why her admirers might view her beauty as the ultimate of values. But if that’s so, why should it be forbidden? Why shouldn’t we allow ourselves to enjoy her sacredness? Why should it be closed off, kept behind doors, forbidden? In this series of Cat, we’re delighted that she invites us to share her sacred beauty with her.
