A presentation followed by Q+A 
with writer Starshine Roshell 

Named for a song in the 1960s musical "Hair", in which her father
starred, Starshine Roshell is a journalism professor, award-winning
magazine writer and overwhelmed mother of two.  She grew up in Los
Angeles and wrote for The Hollywood Reporter before joining the Santa
Barbara News-Press in 1995, as a news reporter, theater and music
critic and arts editor.  Her award-winning column — now syndicated to
the Santa Barbara Independent and other papers — waxes sassy on sex,
politics, kids, fashion, and everything else a modern gal loves to dish
about.  She offers a fresh and quirky take on life, from the cult of
thong underwear to the availability of the morning-after pill. 
Recently appearing in the documentary film "Citizen McCaw", about her
former employer, Starshine lives in Santa Barbara with her husband (a
comic book publisher) and her sons (Stone and Dash).  

Socializing at 2:30 pm, the presentation at 3:00PM in thePatio Room at Vista del Monte, 3775 Modoc Road, Santa Barbara. -
