Chelsea Starr
Twice a month Starr, clad flamboyantly in a self-designed outfit, spins dance tracks for 800 sexy women. The founder, in 2002, of San Francisco’s Hot Pants party, Starr recalls, “I noticed people weren’t dressing up to go out. I decided they could get in free if they wore hot pants. Within two months, everyone was showing up in them, so I had to stop [letting people in free]!” An autobiographical writer, Starr self-published a chapbook, Long Walks on the Beach With Chelsea Starr, and appears in Michelle Tea’s Baby Remember My Name. See her on the road with Sister Spit in October. –JK
