Doughnuts, In-n-Out Burgers, Desserts Galore, Open Bars...and LOTS o' Taxi's!!!
We Need To Stop Meeting Like This: Kit Scarbo (stylist extraordinaire and Season 4 Project Runway Alumna), and Nick Verreos, E! Entertainment 2010 Holiday PartyYes kids, it's the Holiday Season, and that means one thing here in LA-LA land: Holiday Parties!!! This last week, I got invited to the
E! Entertainment Holiday Bash--for the FIRST TIME! I brought along my
NIKOLAKI partner
David Paul with me naturally. The party was being held in Westwood near my old "stompin' grounds":
UCLA. I attended the
University of California, Los Angeles and got my B.A. in (wait for it!) Political Science/International Relations many, many moons ago, before I went on to pursue my real love: FASHION!
Oscar Girls: Former E! host Debbie Matenopulos, Nick Verreos and Kim Kardashian, 2008 Pre-Oscar's ShowAs you may know, I have been on E! several times, including the time I did the Pre-Oscar Show with then on-air personality
Debbie Matenopulos as well as (Wait For It Part Two!), La
Kim Kardashian. I've also recently been filming episodes of
Style Network's "Style Star", a show about celebs and their fashion style. In fact, I just found out that
"Style Star" is airing on
E! International and will begin airing domestically on the
Style Network in early 2011!! To make a long story LONGER...an executive from the show was kind enough to invite me to the
E! Holiday Party (Yeayyy!!!).
SO...let's get to the PARTY. A full-on parking-lot sized tent was set up (see photo above) near the UCLA campus, for this fabulous
E! Entertainment Holiday Party. Inside, there were hundreds--if not thousands of guests, mingling and in their out-of-work/cocktail-attire finest, enjoying the immensity of it all.
Many Open Bars were set up--fully stocked--to serve everyone. There were A LOT of Dessert Tables framing the inside of the tented soiree, with many sweet goodies, including:
Oversized cookies, lollipops, chocolate-covered EVERYTHING, peanut brittle, fresh fruits and...
Smore's Parfait's (they were DELICIOUS, David let me taste his!). Waiters passed around an unending amount of
In-N-Out Burgers as well, for those who maybe needed a respite from all the sugar. Speaking of (more) sugar, I made it outside to "get some air" and lo and behold, I was stopped by a Doughnut Wall! Yes, you read right: There was a wall with fresh glazed doughnuts waiting for the guests to start pickin'.
Doughnut Picking: Nick Verreos at the E! Entertainment 2010 Holiday Party "Doughnut Wall" Once I got done with the
In-N-Out burgers and the doughnuts, I began really enjoying myself. I did not see Miss Kim K. or
Chelsea Handler or
Ryan Seacrest, but...I did run into my
Project Runway "sister", the lovely and very stylish
Kit Scarbo (as you can see from the photo at the beginning of this post).
E! Fashionistas: Nick Verreos poses with guests (and E!/Style Network "Style Star" Mini-Divas!) Audrey Angulo and Raika Khosravi, E! Entertainment 2010 Holiday PartyI had an amazing time, but soon enough, it was time to go, and as David and I made our way out, we spotted many, many Taxi Cabs waiting...Oh did I mention: E! made sure to give out Taxi Cab Vouchers so people could get home safely...I know, they think of EVERYTHING! These people really know how to throw a Holiday Party!
Happy Holidays Y'all!
Nick With Subtitles: Nick Verreos on E! Latinoamérica Style Star TV Show
But I digress...she text'ed me a photo of me on TV appearing on an E! Latinoamérica show called "Style Star"--yes, the SAME "Style Star" that has been shown here on the States in the Style Network.
Of course, I knew that my "Style Star" show was on the Style Network but had no idea--until my sister's text--that it was also being shown throughout Latin America! Needless to say, I was LOCO to find out!
Currently, they are showing the episodes where I--along with other style experts--give our "Style Two cents" on stars such as Penelope Cruz and Marion Cotillard, as well as Eva Longoria and Victoria Beckham, among others.
Click HERE for all the E! Latinoamérica Programming and if you happen to be in Panama Argentina, Mexico, Venezuela, or anywhere else where Spanish is the official language--turn your TV to E! and don't be surprised if you might see me--with subtitles--even though--since I am fluent in Spanish, they really didn't need the subtitles :)
