Getting Geared UP!!
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

Can’t wait to see pics of your fashion show. Best of luck on everything!

Hi Shirin,
You have such a gift that I hope you will continue to share it with the world. You make me want to lose weight so I can look good in your designs! Project Runway was just the door opening for you — now it’s time to walk through it and follow your dream. The possibilities are endless for you. Keep designing.
Project Runway 7 is well underway, but in rewatching some of season 6, your unjust elimination still makes me cringe. You’re an incredible designer — easily the most talented of the bunch — and I’ll definitely be buying from you in in the future (..though, when my student loans are a little closer to being paid off..:) Thanks for being such a class act all the way through. I have no doubt that you will become an incredible success in the fashion world.
