Q Television Network Announces Series Debut of 'Xcess/Access,' Starring 'Queer Eye for the Straight Girl's' Honey Labrador and Robbie Laughlin


PALM SPRINGS, Calif., Aug. 9, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Q Television Network (Pink Sheets:QBID) has announced the premiere of "Xcess/Access," produced by SIREN Multimedia. This weekly show -- which stars "Queer Eye for the Straight Girl's" Honey Labrador and Robbie Laughlin -- promises to deliver the gay and lesbian community its own virtual all-access pass to all things fashion. From the runway right into the living room, QTN's "Xcess/Access" will treat viewers to the world's hottest designers, supermodels and celebrities, as the latest in fashion is revealed with a finesse and poise only possible from two of television's famous "Gal Pals."

Labrador -- the first lesbian in the "Queer Eye" franchise -- is also a former model, fashion editor, actress and award-winning producer. Her credits include "Offside," "The Bug in My Ear," and the soon to be released feature film "April's Shower," which took multiple honors in the film festival circuit.

Known most recently for his transformations as "The Look" specialist on "Queer Eye for the Straight Girl," Laughlin has enjoyed a prolific film and television career, with credits that include guest-starring roles on "Six Feet Under," "The Big Easy," and The Style Network's "How Do I Look?"

"We are very pleased to have secured such talented and fitting hosts for 'Xcess/Access'," said Frank Olsen, President, CEO and Founder of Q Television Network. "Honey Labrador and Robbie Laughlin both have an eye for fashion, and their fingers are pressed tightly on the pulse of the gay and lesbian community. It's an unbeatable combination and the fuel for an absolute must-see show."

"It is great to be working with Frank Olsen again," said Honey Labrador. "I am thrilled to not only co-host Xcess/Access but to be producing it as well for my company, SIREN Multimedia, with my partners C. Fitz and Debra Schneider. Fashion and QTN -- A perfect marriage!"

"Xcess/Access" joins QTN's returning favorites, as well as a packed lineup of new series, including "Brunch," "Queer Edge," "Gay Court," "Flesh and Threads," "It's a Drag," "Q On Broadway," and "On the Road to the Gay Games" -- each debuting in September, just as the network celebrates its first anniversary.
