From the time of Alexander the Great waves of conquerors have crossed Europe going east and returned again with new ideas, new wives, new blood.

POLAND IS at the very heart of these waves of surging humanity and when you mix a cocktail from all those competing genes what you come up with is Kasha. When they put the word exotic in the dictionary it was Kasha they had in mind.

Kasha works as a fitness instructor in one of the principle gyms in Warsaw, which accounts for her toned muscles and appearance of consummate health and strength. For the magnificent Kasha and the Hegre camera it was love at first sight and they produced a series they came to be known as 'Kasha Oiled,' the sun's rays slipping through the window in golden bars and lighting the scene as if for a Hollywood movie.

The response, to say the least, was stunning.
