Barbarella Fokos was the executive producer and host of Art Pulse TV (which aired on NBC San Diego, COZI TV, and is now re-airing twice a day on County TV in San Diego). The show was all about taking viewers behind the scenes of everything art in San Diego County and Baja. She won a regional Emmy award for producing the show.

She also used to do regular television segments, such as “Stepping Out With Barbarella” on NBC San Diego News in the Morning, and the weekly 5 Questions with Barbarella that aired on NBC’s California Nonstop channel. She writes for the San Diego Reader, from lengthy news features to fluffy food reviews. Her column, “Diary of a Diva,” has appeared in the Reader every week since 2004. Now these are the basis for a new book.
