MEHRAN
Dean really surprised us both.

You always hear that you shouldn't do business with friends, but Tori and I have managed to strike the perfect balance. Creatively, we are very much in tune with each other, and share a lot of the same design and aesthetic sensibilities. Being best friends and knowing each other so well allows us to communicate very directly and candidly. We have no qualms about being brutally honest on any subject. This approach definitely applies to any and all design or business matters, which in turn allows us to run the businesses more effectively. I guess that's one of the secrets to the success of our personal and business relationship: a very, very open line of communication.
I believe that a healthy dose "bickering" is required for any friendship or business relationship to grow. It's a great way to get your feelings out on the table and vent. I believe this process always leads you to a common ground and sets you up for growth. However, I'm not a big fan of arguing or airing your dirty laundry out in the open. That goes double when you're in a professional setting. I firmly believe that these conversations should take place in private because you're more likely to reach a resolution without an audience watching.

Mehran - you are great on the show! You always keep it reay with Tori and tell her what's up. That's a good friend. You just liven up the show and Tori and you are real peeps. Maybe next time Tori should bring you on HSN as a guest appearance so people can see your chemistry, you guys can sell even more of your beautiful jewelry with the two of you.
I just adore you Mehran!
The show is so great, love to see another Mom, struggling with the daily challenges of life with kiddies, so gracefully. Tori is so lucky to have you, I just love the advice you give, and the sense of calm and reason that you provide. I think its great to see you two and the wonderful relationship that you have. I only wish I was lucky enough to have my own gusband.
This week's show was one of my favorites. Mehran, you are so real and such a true friend to Tori. She is lucky to have you. It looks like you guys have so much fun together, wish I could be a part of it :). LOVE the jewelry, you guys have created such an amazing line, I want it ALL! (esp the 3 black stone piece).
Mehran,
It was great having you be a major part of this past week's episode. You truly are an important and needed element of this show.
I have to agree with some other comments here that you provide a balance and "voice of reason" that is a huge value add to the show.
Thanks for paving the way for Gusbands of the future!

Love the show! Mehran adds such a warm touch to the show. And the fun chemistry between Mehran and Tori when they are working seriously(?) on jewelry stuff is great! Can't wait for the next episode!
OMG. loved this week's show. so fun watching you guys work together. you're a hot mess! LOL take me with you to fashion week next time!
Mehran is the best part of the show. I wish he were my gusband!
We want more Mehran! Every time you come on the screen, it lights up. You are so so so adorable!
It is nice to hear a voice of reason on the show. Tori is great...but you seem to ground her in a way that no one else can. I guess it's because you have known her for so long!
You are so amazing with the kids too..such a pleasure to watch. You can babysit for me anytime.
