Hi everybody. There's a few things I'd like to comment on as well as share. First of all, i want to thank the people that run, update, and screen this site for being so dedicated and maintaining a website that seems to have brought about some great friendships, ideas, aspirations, etc. Although it's uncertain how long it will maintain it's existence, it's really taken on a form of it's own and i feel honored to have had something to do with that. And i thank you, the fans, for being so loyal and loving towards who i am as a person and as an actress and towards my carrer. With that said, I only feel more than inclined to let you all know that I decided a while back to take a LONG break (possibly permanent) from acting, as a profession anyway. Yes, i walked straight into my agents office, told them i was done, collected my things and then went on to do the same at my managers. So Fan mail should no longer be sent there. I decided i'd like to dip my toes into some theater though and within days of being back in LA, i get a call from Robia Lamorte. Turns out she'd been offered a small one act play by a director friend of hers but was no longer interested in acting thus throwing me into the mix. What better way to try out some theater than in a small, short running one act? So, after a week of rehearsing mostly in a kitchen LOL i stepped out on stage for the first time with a handful of people in the audience. We only do thursday and friday shows and will only run for the next 2 weeks. I really didn't mention it to too many people but feel i owe it to you guys, if anyone, to inform you of anything i do. It's called ALMOST and it's in a small theatre called the Elephant in Hollywood on Santa Monica blvd. and Lillian one block west of Vine. I still love acting (tried to leave it completely but realized it's part of me wether i accept it or not) and am open to all projects, but am not willing at the moment to play hollywoods ugly game which has no love for the art itself. I chose not to be a part of that anyway and I have turned down a few films for the same reason but that's already more info than you need lol
God bless and I'm sure this is not the end!
Sending you all my good vibes.......iyari
p.s indeed i HAVE read every single post to date on the message board people!! LOL Am getting a tad tired of reading " i know you'll probably never read this" though. jk They are all lovely 
--also the Dutch star con has been moved to next spring and i don't think that ill be attending
thanks for this quote, i love it:

I know you'll probably never read this  ha, sorry.
I'm very sad to hear that the 'industry' has lead you to this decision Iyari, but I wish you the best of luck in the new play and everything from there on - in life as well as your career.
I do hope that you will continue to come and see us in the UK - I missed out on the Blackpool convention, and since Collectormania in '03 have vowed that our paths must cross again.  Don't be a stranger.
Much love,
Danielle.

Iyari,
No Kennedy & Willow spinoff/big-screen film/TV movie in the future? <sigh> I'm crushed... 
Seriously, though, so sorry to hear that it was necessary to take that step. It's hard to leave something you love, but sometimes you have to take a stand. Best of luck with the new venture - I've done some live theatre, and there's a lot of pressure, but it's a lot of fun, too. Break a leg, and hope everything turns out well for you.

Iyari...
Sorry to hear that Hollywood-politics got in the way of your art/talent. I hope that you get the chance to continue to express yourself, without comprising your obviously strong convictions. It's been a real pleasure watching you on buffy and in various tv/movie roles. You are very talented, and I wish there were more chances for me to see you expressing yourself.
In the long run, hope you are happy and I wish you the best.

ps: if you ever need a job, I have pull at Blockbuster kidding, but at least you'd be in "the movie business"

Hey Iyari,
Just dropping a line to lend my support. I wanted to wish you the best of luck on your next endeavor, whether it be theater or something completely different. I met you briefly in Dallas last year and you're both lovely and so, so very talented...I hope you know and understand that, whether or not Hollywood acknowledges it. I'm sure whatever you put your heart into next will be just as great as the work you've already done.
Good luck, and God bless you & yours.
Love,
Gloria Brenes

Hi Iyari,
Wow. Big decision. And you sound really centered about it. Enjoy doing theatre; it's wonderful. And enjoy whatever comes next. And if you ever want to do Shakespeare, let me know. I bet you have a Kate, a Hermia, Helena, Viola or Olivia in there somewhere. Or even a King Lear. Don't ask me about MacBeth though; I'm a little touchy on that one right now.
Faint heart never won fair maiden or anything else. You don't seem to have that problem.
All the best, always.

Hi Iyari !
I think it`s really brave of you to make a decision that big but we fans stand behind you  as long as your happy !
It`s to bad that the Dutch star con has been moved because i really wanted to meet you there .... i hope you change your mind about not attending the Dutch star con next spring. I know there are lots of fans over here who would love to meet you ... probebly more then you think
So please come don`t let us down. That would be a real big disapointment
Much Love,
Rianne

Hi Iyari
It's a huge decision that you've made.But you've listenned to your heart and that's what's important.
I'm sad at the moment cause i won't be able to apreciate your actress's talent for a while but I also know that you must be in peace with yourself so i'm glad for you.
Many actors criticize the"Hollywood system" but aren't brave enough to leave it,so BRAVO!
I really wish you all the best for the future  and hope you'll be happy in your personnal and professional life.
YOU ARE THE BEST IYARI!!!!!!
Gros,gros,gros bisous.

Iyari, I have had the honour of meeting you at a couple of Conventions. Your vitality and zest for life is evident. One can see that in your eyes. Do what you love to do, always.
I hope you love the theatre and that you do take up some more writing. Being as observant as you are, I would think that you would have many stories to tell. I am sorry I could not get to see you on stage. I always find theatre so intimidating and intimate, a dynamic challenge.
I look forward to our next meeting, and hope that if I ever get around to writing and directing, that I will have the honour of working with you.
Lots of love, laughter and adventure!

It's hard to know how to phrase such here... to write in first person or...???
Anyway, I am wondering where the very talented Ms. Limon will aim her abilities next -- as in, how shall she pay her rent? (I've read some interviews, since becoming an Iyari convert (as in, really digging how cool a person she is), about how her folks wanted her to become a doctor or lawyer.) So am curious.
Also, Iyari, if you do read this, you need to better promote where you're doing theatre, if you continue doing such. If you haven't noticed, us Buffy folk are really determined and addicted, so you'd get much more of an audience by making sure the leading BtVS news sources carry the details of your work.
And, based on figures I've been seeing online today (when I signed up for this forum), I'm guessing that there are quite a few folks here who, given decent notice, would shell out up to $100 (in travel, fare, hotel, and admission) just to see you.
Likely more.
So the next time you are down, remember that you have folks who really like you. And remember also that this is something that very few people can say.
Cheers,
Reese

Wow! This is just... wow!
I had high hopes you would make it onto a season on The L Word and steal Carmen away from Shane, but I guess that fantasy remains locked away in my brain! Too X-rated anyway! Heehee!!
Iyari, I wish you nothing but the best for whichever career path you choose to follow and continued success in life. In what looked doubtful in S6 of BTVS, you definately made up for in S7. Thank you for making the final season of one of my all time favourite shows, enjoyable again. And a HUGE thank you for taking the time to spend with your fans here.
Time to dust off those dvds and plaster your adorable face on my tv screen again.
Thanks for the memories...

Hi Iyari,
It's Michelle from the Slayer Cruise. I have your poster and CDs done if you would like to pm me or e-mail me at monical@tuscola.net. I just found the address you gave me, but I don't know if it is still valid since you left your agent and manager.
Thanks
Michelle

I agree with Zaybian..I didn't like season 6 of Buffy much at all and i was relieved when they made season 7 so much better just by having you in it! I buy every possible thing that you are in..which is kinda pathetic but still. I bought King Cobra the other day and i have to say..worst movie ever!! But [MOOSE] just cos snakes scare me but you were awesome!! And very sexy spanish lol...But so far that's the only thing i've been able to find which really sucks..ah well still got Buffy i guess. Anyway i hope you get into acting again some time cos i would completely love to see something new and you would be brilliant at anything!!

well i know you are tired of reading repetitive messages from complete strangers...or you know you can call them fans...well i havn't really gotten on this website in a while and i was bored and thought what the hell why not see what is going on with iyari limon's career and i was not at all shocked to see that you are leaving the hollywood scene...i think you are an amazing actress and maybe you will find your happiess in theater and i hope the best for you...maybe some day you will come back to the lies and manipulations of hollywood and do some films...you seem too in depth with the artistic love for acting to come back to this though...somebody should have warned you that hollywood has nothing to do with the love of acting but with the love of fame and money, greed is what hollywood thrives on and i think [MOOSE] brave to give up what you could easily have had (with your looks and obvious talent) to avoid it all...maybe the next time i am in cali i will look around for some plays that you might me in....
<3, a fan...duh
