Bubblicious Reporter Alison McNeill recently presented Bubby awards to five winners at Twiistup 5, which was held at Hangar:8 at the Santa Monica airport. Last Friday, we posted our highlight reel that included an interview with Twiistup Producer Mike Macadaan and highlights of all five Bubby Award winners, and all this week we featured each of the five winners.

Today concludes our Twiistup coverage with our final interview with Christine Elia, founder and CEO of Closet Couture, who was awarded the Bubby award for “Favorite Fashionista Startup.”

Closet Couture is a social fashion site that “connects people of stylish minds with those who live or work around them,” according the Closet Couture site. In addition to being a community of fashionistas, it also serves as a utility site where people can get help with their personal wardrobes, or even help with just one outfit for a special occasion, from other users or professional stylists. We first discovered Closet Couture at TechCrunch50 and have closely followed them since. We love them and hope you do, too.

If you missed our other interviews earlier this week check them out:

• Favorite Do-Gooder: Causecast
• Favorite Showoff: Viewdle
• Kick Ass Female & Best Laugh: Patricia Handschiegel
• Most Bubbly: Karen Hartline

I hope y’all enjoyed the Bubby train ride this week. We’re off to SXSW and we just might give out one more Bubby award while kickin’ it Texas-style. Ya never know when or where we might turn up to award you with a Bubby. As Alison McNeill stated in last Friday’s post, “we were questioned about our criteria in choosing the winners and the truth is that there are none. So be prepared, at any time or any event, because you, too, may be presented with a Bubby!”

The inaugural Bubby Award was presented to celebrity blogger Perez Hilton at Twiistup 3, so it seemed fitting that we give away more awards during our recent trip down to LA for Twiistup 5. Here are the winners this time around:

• Favorite Do-Gooder: Causecast

• Favorite Showoff: Viewdle

• Kick Ass Female & Best Laugh: Patricia Handschiegel

• Most Bubbly: Karen Hartline

• Favorite Fashionista Startup: Closet Couture

Twiistup went all out this time and was held at Hangar:8 at the Santa Monica airport, had Cuban Rollers at the entrance and our very own Brian Solis as a Showoff judge.

When handing out these Bubby Awards we were questioned about our criteria in choosing the winners and the truth is that there are none. So be prepared, at any time or any event, because you too may be presented with a Bubby!

For our pics of the event go here. Check out our interview with Mike Macadaan, Twiistup producer and VP of product and design at Tsavo Media, along with quick snapshots of each Bubby award winner. Every day next week we will be posting interviews of each Bubby award winner, so be sure to check back then to watch.
