Blair Boone-Migura (born James Adam Blair Boone) a writer, professor and specialist of art song repertoire, arts administrator and musician, has written for such publications as MetroSource Magazine and NYC Resident interviewing artists such as American-Haitian singer Wyclef Jean, pianist Fred Hersch, and club DJ Junior Vasquez. He is best known for appearing in two episodes of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.

Boone-Migura was hired as the show's culture vulture based on his qualifications in art, music and languages, but producers felt he was not outgoing enough, and so they decided to replace him with a professional performer. Actor/singer Jai Rodriguez was hired to replace him.

Although the two episodes in which Boone-Migura appeared were the first two shot, they aired as episodes 1.2 and 1.3, with Boone-Migura given a 'Guest Culture Expert' credit (although the opening titles of both feature Jai Rodriguez).

Boone-Migura sued the production company for breach of contract, based on the fact he had only been paid for the two episodes he had shot (at $3,000 per episode), claiming he deserved to be paid for the entire season he had originally been contracted to shoot, as he had given up his position at MetroSource to accept the role. The case was settled before it went to court.
