Barbarella | Writer
Barbarella was discovered in 2004 when Reader elves happened along her blog, Barbarella’s Pillow Talk. She has been writing her column, Diary of a Diva and Your Week and Welcome To It every week ever since. She also contributes cover features of her adventures and discoveries, and cohosts the weekly KOGO Reader Radio program.
Why the name diva? It’s the best thing we could come up with for a dominant woman, control-freak, and socialite who loves to tell it like it is, even though we all know she’s overcompensating for her inherent nerdiness. Barb continues to blog and posts pics on her personal web site, divabarbarella.com. She lives in Hillcrest with the man of her dreams, David.
