Honey Labrador
Honey Labrador, born Barbara Labrador, was a successful model for top-of-the-game women’s fashion magazines like Marie Claire, Elle, Mademoiselle, Harper’s Bazaar, and Vogue. Nicknamed 'Honey' because her grandmother's first words upon seeing her were "what a honey!" In 2005, she was cast as one of the fab four on Bravo’s Queer Eye for the Straight Girl. She also produced and co-starred in the lesbian dramedy, April’s Shower, which is out on DVD.
