Nick Verreos and MSN.com The Victory Project Sponsored by Special K...is coming to CHICAGO!!

I'm Coming To CHICAGOOOOOOOO!!!!

OK, I just had to say that...Oprah style! I am truly excited about MSN.com's The Victory Project and our next city: Chicago. I have not been back to one of my favorite cities for a while (since I judged the Season 6 Castings of Project Runway), so I am SO looking forward to returning.

The Victory Project Gurus: Chantal Moore (Make-Up and Hair), Nick Verreos (Fashion), Kacy Duke (Fitness) and Katherine Brooking (Nutrition)

With my Victory Project girlfriends--Make Up and Hair "Empress" Chantal Moore, Fitness Guru Kacy Duke and "that-better-not-be-fried" nutrition expert Katherine Brooking, we have scouted the country, and made women "Victorious"!

First: Seattle; Nick Verreos styles Heather at Mario's Boutique, The Victory Project Seattle

Then we visited Atlanta: Nick Verreos and Renee, Macy's Lennox Square Mall Buckhead Atlanta

Now, it is Chicago. Four GORGEOUS women, in need of a "change" and with goals in mind--have signed up to be part of the "Chicago Victory Project Divas". Let's meet the ladies:

Aryn: She just moved to Chicago and REALLY wants to get back into her skinny jeans...Huney, I will DEFINITELY find you THE FIERCEST pair in Town!

Danielle: Has three kids (two are TWINS!) and wants to fix herself from the inside in order to let her outside shine! Wait until I get to her...

Jennifer: New Place to live, new promotion, new body, and yes, new fashion!

Meredith: She is having her 20th High School Reunion (I hear ya girl!) and wants to make an entrance! Well...that's what I am here for huney!

See you Ladies in The Windy City! I will promise to make you look your MOST BEAUTIFUL and make you all feel like Red Carpet QUEENS! See you soon!

Nick Verreos Project Runway MyLifetime.com Recap: Episode 2

A Motley Crew: Season 8 Designers await their Second Challenge

Ahh yes, my Project Runway Recaps continue.... and making clothes is hard work. And doing a dress for a Marie Claire Times Square Billboard even harder, as well as very emotional, as we saw from last night.

Highlights from the first "official" Season 8 Challenge included:
*Emotion Overload: Mondo crying, AJ crying, Nicholas crying (what's with all the crying so early on???)

*Working Disagreements: Nina's boss saying she never agrees with Nina (Can you say awkward!)
*No Schooling: Casanova asking for pattern help...from all people AJ??? (you KNOW "FIDM Instructor Nick" had a thing or two to say about that)*Safety Pinning is the NEW Stapleling: Oh Miss Jason Troisi...On that note...
*Did I Tell You I am STRAIGHT:

Jason had to remind the entire nation--yet once again--that he was a straight designer AND even used it as a "Awwww shucks give me a break" excuse... (See ya...wouldn't wanna be ya!) and BTW: Why does Jason remind me of Dr. 90210's Robert Rey? Just a little bit...
*And of course, the dreaded DOUBLE ELIMINATION came true!!!

Below is a teaser for MyLifetime.com Project Runway Blog...

“You’re Either IN-finity…Or Your OUT!”

Hi Project Runway kiddies! I am finally back from my trip to Europe. A little bit jet lagged, but back! What better way to snap me out of my “Why am I waking up at 4 AM ready to start my day” time-clock than watching my favorite show. There’s nothing I love more than seeing Straight designers remind me that they are Straight (and that safety pinning is their form of “construction”), watching Tim lower his glasses one more time, see so-called designers ask for pattern and styling help, and seeing judge Nina Garcia have an awkward moment with her boss, Joanna Coles, editor-in-chief of Marie Claire. May I begin?.....
