Academy Awards Red Carpet Fashion Google+ Hang Out On Air

 Pocket Scarf Brothers: L.A. Times staff writer on all things Menswear Adam Tschorn and Nick Verreos, Los Angeles Times Headquarters--2014 Academy Awards Red Carpet Fashion Google+ Hang Out On Air

This past Monday, after filming a LIVE TV segment for Azteca America (Spanish language TV Network) discussing my "Best Oscars Red Carpet" gown picks, I went to the Downtown L.A. offices of the L.A. Times to film a live Google+ Hang Out On Air with the wonderful Adam Tschorn, L.A. Times fashion writer.

We were also going to be joined LIVE from Paris by L.A. Times Fashion Writer chief fashion critic Booth Moore. Unfortunately, right as we were about to begin, there were connection/sound problems that prevented Booth from listening to us back in the Los Angeles newsroom.

Adam and I "made it work" and continued on to discuss the 2014 Academy Awards Red Carpet and our favorite and "could have been better" picks; he made sure--in Booth's absence--to say what her thoughts were on the couture on display at the Oscars. We also answered some great questions that came in via the Google+ Hang Out from viewers and talked about what the MEN of the Oscars Red Carpet were wearing. On that subject: a big highlight was when Adam brought out his Vivienne Westwood "Pharrell" hat:

Yes, I was happy to try on this now-infamous hat and naturally, the L.A. Times staff had to take a pic of it (OK, I admit: I told them to do so!!). Overall, I had a great time and the segment was so fun to do. To be honest, it went so quickly that both Adam and I felt that we could have talked for HOURS! In case you missed it...

Skating Dish Pair Fab: Laura Davis, L.A. Times Deputy Mobile Editor and Nick Verreos--LA Times Google+ Hang Out On Air Discussing Figure Skating Costumes--L.A. Times offices

A couple of days ago, I was invited to give my "Nick Two Cents" on Figure Skating Costumes at the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics at a very special L.A. Times Google+ Hang Out On Air. I didn't know what to expect in terms of what even a Google+ Hang Out On Air even was...but as always "I am game" and up for anything. As it turned it, I had a FABULOUS time and so much fun! PS: Love me some Google+ Hang Out On Air!

I spoke about Figure Skating Costumes/Fashion with the wonderful Laura Davis, L.A. Time Deputy Mobile Editor (she is ALL THINGS Social Media with the L.A. Times!). She's also a former figure skater herself! And for the segment, she even brought two of her costumes from "back in the day":

Stretch Velvet and Crystals: The one on the left--in case you are wondering was for a skate to "Miss Saigon", of course!

Vintage Nick: I even brought a top from my "Project Runway" Season 2 episode where we had to design for Olympian Sasha Cohen from 2005--yes, almost a decade ago!
