Valleywag goes native in Hollywood with Patricia Handschiegel
Sure, I might have spotted an atypically incognito Jeremy Piven, who panders to Hollywood agent stereotypes as Ari Gold on Entourage, hopping into his Land Rover on Sunset and Vine. I might have seen the paps hounding prettyboy Apple pitchman Justin Long walking past the Belmont on La Cienega with his arm around Drew Barrymore. But getting kidnapped after brunch at Toast for an afternoon of browsing boutiques on Third Street in West Hollywood with successful online entrepreneur Patricia Handschiegel as she did her rounds for StyleDiary was when I was finally seduced, if just a bit. Here we model frilly bras at Polkadots and Moonbeams. I think the pink really compliments my sun-kissed complexion, don't you?

YouTube Flash engineer needs help with his hair
Distraught that Google employee Geoff Stearns hasn't gotten a haircut since moving to San Francisco from Brooklyn, his girlfriend has taken her appeal to the public. It seems the young Stearns has become obsessed with mullets, and is having delusions he'll become the next MacGyver — which any San Franciscan will tell you are early signs of the slippery slope that leads straight to Mission-hipsterdom. She's asking for donations for a flight back to New York to get his hair did properly, but I figured Valleywag readers could suggest someplace that will trim it up into something that says "I'm innovative, but I won't cause my new Google overlords any trouble."

You're with Stupid
Does Web 2.0 commodify the work of artists? Yes, if it makes them create silly projects like this "Are You Social?" shirt. "The owner of the T-shirt is expected to mark the services he uses with a pen and to wear it in public. What happens when users start wearing their network identities openly in public?" Then users start getting drinks thrown in their faces, that's what happens. Take off the shirt* and have a real conversation. More »

FROM THE DESK OF MEGAN MCCARTHY — Patricia at StyleDiary posted what I can only pray is a mocking gallery of guys from last week's TechCrunch party. On full display, that most heinous Valley fashion staple — party guests in blue shirts. For the love of Jobs, can this trend die? I understand, the blue shirt is the easy choice for tech meet and greets — that's the point. You think it's safe, so you wear it again. And again. And again. You're trying to just seem like a regular tech guy, I know — but all it does is mark you out as yet another crowd-following Silicon Valley tool. Admit it: You put this shirt away in 2001, after the market crashed, and just dusted it off for this go-round, didn't you?

If I see another guy in a blue shirt, I will seriously gag

Mark Zuckerberg Adidas memorial slideshow
If Mark Zuckerberg is the new Steve Jobs (hint: yes), then the Facebook creator's Adidas flip-flops are the heir to the Apple founder's black turtleneck. Nearly every news item about the 23-year-old fratrepreneur mentions (among other signs of youth) the black and white sandals, which Mark wears with every outfit. The Globe and Mail barely avoided predicting he'd wear them to the mogul summer camp soon taking place in Sun Valley. (Answer: he's not going.) But we've heard bad news about Mark's favorite sandals: they're getting discontinued. Here's a photographic retrospective on the love between a boy and his flip-flops. More »
