Hennywiz – For starters; What is your nationality and where are you from?
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 – You’ve graced the pages of Flava Magazine shot for ENVY Magazine as well.

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?
Tabori – Ohhh…..this is a good question! To me it depends on the moment or mood. I want the best of both worlds!!

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?
I love all types of music & genres of music. I’m a huge fan of the 90’s music as well as the “Oldies but Goodies”

Hennywiz – Drink of choice that gets you going?
Tabori – Vodka or a simple cocktail is my preference. I am however a beer drinker so I’ll do either.

Hennywiz – What is one thing about yourself that tends to shock people once they get to know you personally?

Hennywiz – What is your guilty pleasure?
Tabori – Food & shopping are my biggest guilty pleasures! I tend to do both quite often.

There is no half stepping. Always remember the way you present yourself will be the way in which you are perceived.

Hennywiz – Lastly, www.TaboriTheModel.com is your website and is launching soon; what can fans expect when they visit your site? What is the launch date?

  1. What she said about wanting to own her atmosphere sounds good to me, when it's time to do your thing, do YOUR thing. Learning people is good advice too, it will help keep anybody from getting played. I wish her much GOOD LUCK on advancing her brand & expanding into a successful company. PEACE!!!
