Serial entrepreneuse's latest venture: Bossing Hollywood around
The 9 Group is Patricia Handschiegel's latest startup after having sold her fashion site StyleDiary. Her plan is to work as a content and audience development consultant with her partners, and focus on "solving problems media, entertainment and brands are having on the Internet." Basically, she got tired of giving free advice to C-level executives at major talent agencies. Somehow, it's not hard to picture Handschiegel telling other people what to do. More » -
Good help is so hard to find

How to be a girl and a CEO, the 100-word version
For our post "How a girly girl made serious bank on her startup," Patricia Handschiegel — who did just that with her own startup, StyleDiary — told us that sometimes one has to let the girl's-girl image go. More often, though, a girl just has to make the most of the time she has. Handschiegel posted 573 words on "ways to cheat the system for when I'm too busy to get a manicure or to the spa." Here's a version of you can read on your BlackBerry Pearl: More » -

How a girly girl made serious bank on her startup
StyleDiary's Patricia Handschiegel just posted a picture that was taken of her the day she sold her online-fashion startup to StyleHive in November 2007. In it, she's at her least glamorous — and most gleeful. "I love that picture because I was so fucking happy," she tells us. We wanted to know how she got that way. At first, Handschiegel wouldn't talk. "I know some things," she said, "But if anything, this shit makes you humble. You see how small you are and how big business and everything is." Fortunately, persistence and well-placed guilt trips paid off. And so below, her bullet points for the wantrepreneurs out there — girls' girls or not — looking to actually accomplish something.

VentureBeat snags StyleDiary founder
Valleywag commentrix patricia2, aka StyleDiary founder Patricia Handschiegel, sent a long email to advisors that included this news: "I've started to work with VentureBeat as a contributing writer covering the convergence of media, entertainment and the web once a week." How about a few founder fashion makeovers? You could call it Any Eye, Any Eye at All for the Straight Guy. -

Mashable's female readers like to get naked
Mashable founder Pete Cashmore is "hot," StyleDiary's Patricia Handschiegel told me the other night at dinner. Overhearing us, another chimed in. "Oh yes, he's hot," she said. Keep your pants on, girls! Literally. Cashmore doesn't have to worry about Handschiegel stripping — she's a lady — but a screenshot of "recent visitors" who have built profiles on the site indicates some of Cashmore's readers aren't. After the jump, see their profile pages. A warning: Not safe for work. More » -

Ohmigod, shoes -- attached to women, even
How laden with pulchritude was the floor of Moose's last Friday, when we sent off Natali Del Conte? Check the shoes. What's even sexier? The stock options attached to some of this mod-shod squad. For you shoe fetishists out there, who wore what:

The Valley turns out for Natali
There's been an incredible turnout here at Moose's to send off Natali Del Conte, the LCD-screen talent CNET plucked away from PodShow to be its newest TV star. Sarah Lacy, the BusinessWeek columnist, is here with a copy of her new Web 2.0 histoire, Once You're Lucky, Twice You're Good, an advance reader copy of which I exclusively rubbed up against my chest. For a prolonged time. I can't tell you what's in it, but the book felt good, people. Paul Boutin is handing out sunglasses, and Patricia Handschiegel of StyleDiary is dishing out fashion advice. Next up: We're sending Del Conte and Lacy off to the Crunchies in a limo, because that's how Valleywag rolls.

Tonight at Moose's: Goodbye Natali, Hello Patricia
CNET video star Natali Del Conte and StyleDiary fashionista Patricia Handschiegel will be at Valleywag Friday at Moose's after work today. It's Natali's send-off to her new TV gig in New York City. Patricia is up from Los Angeles. Drinking starts at 4 p.m. and runs through at least 9 at Moose's in North Beach (don't try this at home — we're journalists.) The Valleywag limo will whisk Natali away to cover the Crunchies awards at 7 sharp, after which drinking and crying escalates in earnest.
