As many of you prob­a­bly know my time on Project Run­way was cut short 3 episodes from the finale.  I left real­ity TV world  and finally said hello to reality…and it feels pretty nice. It was a great expe­ri­ence and one that I feel blessed to have been a part of. I learned a long time ago that every­thing hap­pens for a rea­son and there is no need to look in the past and won­der why.  Although, I will say that all of the amaz­ing love and sup­port every­one has shown me through the immense amount of emails, mes­sages and posts have  truly meant so much to me.  I wanted to thank you all again for your kind, heart­felt, encour­ag­ing words which have not gone unno­ticed.  SO many of you have expressed your frus­tra­tion about my departure…but I guess I would rather leave the scene and have peo­ple be upset that I’m gone, rather than upset that I’m still there 

Now …enough with the mushy stuff! I’ve been so busy fill­ing orders for stores, doing cus­tom wed­ding dresses and now work­ing on my new col­lec­tion. I’m so excited because I just picked a venue for my Fall 2010 Fash­ion Show!  I wanted my first big show to be where I grew up so I made the deci­sion to have it in down­town Dal­las.  More details to come so stay tuned!

Lots of love,

Shirin
