			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many things are in progress, and cool shit takes a long time (for most of us) to accomplish. My site is under construction right now. The new one is going to be shiny and fabulous, and have lots and lots of fun stuff for you to look at and read. For a sneak peak of what’s to come, check out my new logo:</p>
<p><img src="http://divabarbarella.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/download-3.thumbnail.jpg" alt="New Logo" /></p>
<p>And matching business cards:</p>
<p><img src="http://divabarbarella.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/photo-copy.thumbnail.JPG " alt="Business Cards" />
</p>
<p>Okay, so those were hilariously small.  Let me try this again (clearly I&#8217;m not going to be the one programming the new site).  </p>
<p><img src="http://divabarbarella.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/download-31.jpg" alt="Logo" />
</p>
<p>You can see why I need help here.  Here&#8217;s another stupidly large image, to contrast with the stupidly small ones above.  But really, my new site will be all perfect-sized.  Because I&#8217;m not the one creating it.  I made sure of that.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From ridiculously-early-o&#8217;clock to late-in-the-evening at a bar, I will be blabbing to cameras while having a blast this coming Monday (April 23).  </p>
<p>First, so early it&#8217;s not even bright yet, I&#8217;ll be on NBC News in the Morning with one of my <a href=http://www.nbcsandiego.com/video/#!/news/local/Stepping-Out-with-Barbarella/140150473><strong>STEPPING OUT WITH BARBARELLA</strong></a> segments.  This time, I&#8217;m talking ladybugs.  Fortunately, most species match my shades of red lipstick.</p>
<p>After a long nap and maybe some reading, I&#8217;ll be getting dressed up to head over to the Brass Rail, where I will be co-hosting <a href=http://hsss.tv/they-said><strong>THEY SAID</strong></a>.  You are welcome to come have a drink, hang out, and watch a group of varied genders and sexual orientations yap about cool shit in a fun way.  </p>
<p>On another note, you can check out my writing without any waiting, here&#8217;s my current column in the Reader, about my man picking up the pieces when I recently went off my meds.  It&#8217;s called <a href=http://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/2012/apr/18/diva-classic-barb-guy/> <strong>CLASSIC BARB GUY</strong></a> for reasons you will learn when you read it.  </p>
<p>More soon, there never seems to be an end to the exciting events and whatnot just over the horizon!  In the meantime, thanks for clicking.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Rebecca of Tri-Line Marketing writes:</p>
<p>    <strong>Barbarella&#8217;s PR workshop took me from being an inexperienced, &#8220;Let-me-Google-how-to-write-a-press-release&#8221; numbskull to a much more educated and savvy promoter. Fear of being labeled as obnoxious or a too-lame bore kept me from using press releases to their full potential (okay, let&#8217;s be real&#8230; I never used them &#8217;cause I didn&#8217;t want to humiliate myself and get perma-banned from press inboxes).</p>
<p>    The thing I most valued about the workshop was that Barbarella made the whole PR process accessible. She explained the day-to-day life of busy producers and writers.  And she walked us through the (very rapid) decision-making process of these gatekeepers.  Being both a writer and someone who pitches stories, Barbarella has the unique viewpoint of knowing how to write press releases that get picked and how to choose the press releases that will be perfect for both print and TV.  When you attend Barbarella&#8217;s workshop, you get access to all of that brilliance, delivered with humor and enthusiasm and zero B.S.</strong></p>
<p>Thank you, Rebecca, for the wonderful testimonial, and I am glad to know that you were helped by my workshop!  Onward and upward.  <img src='http://divabarbarella.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I will be giving more workshops soon, dates to be announced.  If you&#8217;re interested in attending one of my PR workshops, please email me at Barbarella AT Divabarbarella.com</p>
