Pageant Queens, Project Runway Queens and a Selfie Stick Queens: Nick Verreos attending "Project Runway" Season 15 NY Fashion Week Finale Show--Skylight at Moynihan Station NYC
Last Friday, September 9th was the Finale Show for Season 15 "Project Runway" during the Spring/Summer 2017 NY Fashion Week shows. I happened to be in NYC for the Official Book Signing Event of my new book "A Passion For Fashion: Achieving Your Fashion Dreams One Thread at a Time" which also happened to be on that same day--but luckily later that evening! Upon arriving, I made my way into the show, which was going to start in like ten minutes. I had just enough time to find my seat... However, on my way I spotted two gorgeous beauties that made me stop immediately:
Pageant Sandwich: Nick Verreos with Deshauna Barber "Miss USA 2016" (R) and Pia Wurtzbach "Miss Universe 2015"--Season 15 "Project Runway" Finale Show at NY Fashion Week, Skylight at Moynihan Station NYC
As a big pageant fan (you know how much I love commentating on the National Costumes and Evening Gowns here on my blog!), I became that person and rushed up to "Miss USA 2016" Deshauna Barber and "Miss Universe 2015" Pia Wurtzbach--who happened to be in the front row of course--and told them that I adored them and asked if I could get a photo.
I finally made it to my seat and was happily surprised to find myself seated in between "Project Runway" Season 14 Winner Ashley Nell Tipton and the Runner-up Kelly Dempsey...
