 Tony Awards Celebration: Attending The Actors Fund 20th Annual Tony Awards Viewing Party, The Beverly Hilton Beverly Hills

Nick Verreos--On the red carpet at The Actors Fund 20th Annual Tony Awards Viewing Party, The Beverly Hilton Beverly Hills

This past Sunday, I had the honor of attending The Actors Fund 20th Annual Tony Awards Viewing Party at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills along with my partner David Paul. Every year--for the last 20 years--The Actors Fund puts together a FABULOUS Black Tie Tony Awards Viewing Party. It has become the official West Coast viewing party for the Tony's. I have attended the event for many years and of course, this year I couldn't miss it!

The Actors Fund is a national human services organization that helps all professionals in the performing arts and entertainment, providing services for those who are in need, crisis or transition. My very good friend of over 30 years (Yikes!) Louie Anchondo is The Actors Fund's Director of Special Events and I love supporting him as well as the organization.



This year's party was wonderful--celebrating this year's Tony Awards as well as honoring three very special people including John Holly, actress Jomarie Ward and...

This past week, I flew to Minnesota to the headquarters of the EVINE Live TV Shopping Network, to present my Spring 2016 "NV by Nick Verreos" clothing line. I had the pleasure of having TWO separate shows--each one hour--one in the morning and one later in the afternoon. Naturally, I had to do outfit changes...on myself! But more importantly, I had a FASHION BLAST debuting some fabulous new styles from my collection as well as showcasing some MAJOR SALE items! I am soooo HAPPY that the "NV" gals were shopping and they scooped up some MAJOR deals and got some SUPERFAB items!!! I also had so much fun with my two hosts, Fatima Cocci and Erin Newburg: I *HEART* them!

Fashion Designers Jay McCarroll and Nick Verreos-- Project Runway Season 10 Finale Runway Show Lincoln Center, NY Fashion Week

Last week, I got the best gift for myself: a set of Jay McCarroll socks! Now, of course, you may remember Jay as being THE Season One Winner of Project Runway. But I know him more as a friend. A friendship that's lasted over seven years (that's TWENTY in "Gay Years", darlings!).

Sock Gift to Myself: Here's the pack of Jay McCarroll Socks that I will be featuring at LAX, JFK...

Recently, Jay launched his new "Jay McCarroll Socks" line and well, you know I had to order me some!! Well, kids, when they arrived they were BETTER than anything I could have envisioned online: the colors, the prints...everything about them said "Hello Nick!". In other words, they were SO me...



 Just take a look at these pics:

Yeah...I cannot wait to wear them the next time I have to take off my Gucci driving loafers at an airport (to see the TSA security reactions...as well as all the tacky travelers in flip flops and dirty feet!)---Oh wait, I will get to do that soon: I'm flying to Las Vegas next week to see the Miss Universe Pageant! Yeayyyy, time to FEATURE my new Jay McCarroll Socks!

Thanks Jay!  Love ya! And especially, your FAB socks!

Road to the Runway Commenting Twosome...

Colorful Twosome: Mondo Guerra and Nick Verreos, behind the scenes, "Road to the Runway Season 10" TV special

As we know, last Thursday night was the premiere of Season 10 Project Runway. In the lead up to the big show, Lifetime had a very special "Project Runway Season 10: Road to the Runway" show devoted to revealing who the new sixteen designers/contestants are, a little background on each and every one of them plus some extra dish.

It was hosted by the gorgeous Zanna Roberts Rassi and well, I was asked to be part of the show (yeayyy!!) and give my "Nick Two Cents" on the new crop of designers and who I thought would make it to the Final Three. I had the EXTREME pleasure of doing the show with Project Runway All Stars Season One winner, Mondo Guerra. We had GREAT fun filming our segments and when we were together, I felt like the two Muppets old men--Statler and Waldorf-- in the balcony!! Lifetime should hire us to do commentary for EVERY episode (I'm just sayin'!).

Judging the LA Castings (left to right) Nick Verreos, Mondo Guerra, Abby Gardner

For Season 10, I was one of the co-judges for the Los Angeles Castings, along with Mondo and the lovely Abby Gardner, site director for Marie Claire. So, I had some insight into several of this season's designers, especially since THREE--count 'em--THREE, of the ones we said "yes" to during the LA Castings, actually made the final cut (Beatrice Guapo, Elena Slivnyak and Melissa Fleis).

For the filming, Mondo was looking all things cute in a TopMan shorts suit (he's a 34 chest!! Bi***!!!), yellow dress shirt and little bow tie.

I chose to wear my neon coral-colored ASOS jacket, Zara jeans, TopMan dress shirt, Etro striped tie and Hermes pocket scarf. Usually people say what and who their wearing because the clothing was borrowed but in our case we BOUGHT everything--I'm just mentioning it in case inquiring minds wanted to know!



Anyhow, back to the fun "Road to the Runway Season 10" show we filmed...

Several weeks ago, as the Official Spokesperson for the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising--my alma mater--I did my yearly FIDM "3 Days of Fashion" appearances, where I visited all of the college's campuses, staring in San Diego, then Orange County and finishing up with San Francisco and the FIDM "flagship", in Los Angeles. I did my Inspiration Talk/Lecture as well as took lots of photos with the high school students (and their moms and dads!) who attended as well as brought some of my NIKOLAKI Collection gowns and dresses--many worn by A-List Celebs such as Beyoncé and Katy Perry. So here's a Recap--and Gallery--of the gowns and cocktail dresses I brought (several from my newest NIKOLAKI Spring 2013 Collection) all in one concise blog posting--hope you guys enjoy!
