The Bubby award train makes its next stop at Patricia Handschiegel. We presented Patricia with the award for “Kick-Ass Female and Best Laugh” at the recent Twiistup 5 event in Santa Monica. If you missed our highlight reel or the first two stops on the Bubby award train, check out our posts from earlier this week: Causecast and Viewdle.
In addition to keeping up with her personal blog, Daily Patricia, Handschiegel also writes the Digital Dish blog for TV Week, The New Power Girls series for the Huffington Post, and runs her latest venture, the hybrid consulting and production company 9. 9 works with brands, entertainment, media and internet companies to create TV, internet and media projects over traditional networks and on the Web. So yeah, we’re pretty sure that make her a kick-ass female.
As for the “best laugh” portion of the award, we just couldn’t resist. Her laugh is fun and infectious as we learned in our previous interview with Patricia here. Check it out for yourself below!
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:
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.
