Tabori – I’m African-American, from a small town in North Carolina.
Hennywiz – What or who inspired you to begin a career modeling?
Tabori – I’ve had a lot of comments made toward me my entire life about possessing the qualities of a model. So I decided to take a chance & put my skills to work.

Hennywiz – With all the shoots you’ve done so far, which ones have been your most memorable?
Tabori – Looking back at some of my past shoots, I’ve honestly enjoyed them all. Every photographer has their own personal style when creating their magic. By far I love the location shoots versus a studio.
Hennywiz – A question I tend to ask models/vixens is, In this forever evolving business, new faces emerge by the minute. What separates “Tabori” from your peers?
Tabori – Yes, new faces emerge in the modeling industry on a daily basis. But we as models have to learn to stand out & be different from the rest. I vowed to myself that I would be more than just another pretty face. I wanted to own my atmosphere & take my career to another level. As for myself, I’ve learned to stay true to my beliefs & work twice as hard.
Hennywiz – Overall, what has been your opinion of the Modeling industry?
Tabori – Overall I’ve had amazing experiences thus far but I have had my run-in’s with those who claim to be professional but present themselves otherwise at any given moment. You have to “learn” people…word to the wise.
Hennywiz – What are some of your long term goals as you continue to progress in your career?
Tabori – My long term goals are to advance with my brand & hopefully expand my name into a successful company.
Hennywiz – What other interest do you have besides modeling?
Tabori – Being a mother is one of my biggest interests in life. I’m a mother of 2 young boys & this is the core of my life. Besides my family, I’m interested in a wide range of things. I’m very diverse.
Hennywiz – I’m about to get in your business now, lol!! Single, Married, divorced?
Tabori – Yes, I’m in a relationship for those inquiring
Hennywiz – What advice do you have for someone that would like to approach you in public?
Tabori – Present yourself in a positive, respectful manner and you shall receive the same in return
Hennywiz – What are some of the worst pick up lines you ever been hit with?
Tabori – I absolutely hate “pickup” lines! I’ve heard them all. So Please don’t approach me with such stupidity. Just be yourself, like they say 1st impressions stick with you forever.
Hennywiz – What turns you on the most?
Tabori – Style & cleanliness (clean cut type) definitely turns me on
Hennywiz – What is an ultimate turn off for you?
Tabori – Poor hygiene & a man with no ambition are major turn offs for me (my list could go on & on for this topic LOL)
Hennywiz – Do you consider yourself a casual romantic or a super freak?

Hennywiz – How would you describe your fashion style?
Tabori – My style ranges from classy yet sexy…..depends on the occasion or event
Hennywiz – What genre of music are you into?
