Joseph’s Cafe
1775 N. Ivar
(cross street Yucca)
Hollywood, CA 90028

We’ve been forced to do a last minute change of venue for the Tranny Awards. I hope this is not inconvenient for you but I would like to explain why we’ve had to change it for the second time. After a few months of searching for venues, we narrowed it down to 4 choices in early November and set to work on those venues. We found that the venues either put too many time constraints in hosting us or wanted exorbitant bar guarantees, which were unjustified for a Sunday evening event, in February. It was plain to see that these venues weren’t too interested in accommodating our show which was surprising as they usually catered to a gay crowd.

In December we arranged a contract with El Cid, a renowned Hollywood venue and started our plans for the event. Five weeks before the event, we contacted the owners to ask some questions and were told that they’d sold the venue and it was currently under renovation but that they had a larger and more upscale venue, in which they would honor the contract, Los Globos. As the show numbers had grown, this seemed to work. The warning signs were that it took multiple phone calls and three visits to get into the venue although when we did, it seemed ideal for our purposes.

Last week, we were informed that we’d have to finish the event by eleven (despite our original contract for El Cid going much later) as they have an after hours event going on which they were unwilling to change. Although they would allow us to stay at the club, my concerns were mainly based on the safety of our guests as well as putting on an exclusive event and with less than 3 weeks to the event date we had the task of choosing a new venue.

The venue we have chosen is Joseph’s Cafe on N. Ivar in Hollywood. This was the only place we could find that was centrally based, could accommodate the guests, where we would have the place exclusively, could get a red carpet entrance and who have worked with us all week to ensure that this event would go off well. I didn’t even realize until this morning that a Tgirl event has been held there before – The Tranny Awards is not associated with that party night.

Despite the last minute changes, I think the final venue will work our better than the previous ones. We have a great MC and the DJ, Chelsea Malone is coming in from New York. We have a red carpet to be hosted by Domino Presley and we’re hoping also to live stream from the red carpet from another interviewer also (watch this space). We have a photo-booth coming in, so you can have your fun photos taken and networked out right away, VIP areas for sponsors and nominees, two bars with plenty of bartenders on, Pornstar Tweet will be tweeting the night and even some half-time entertainment. I have all the winners names and it’s going to nail biting until the end.

My apologies for the last minute changes and the seemingly lack of professionalism but even above creating a great event, the safety and respect of our guest is paramount.

Just a quick note in case you haven’t noticed… I didn’t until I was checking the Tranny Awards site out to make some hotel reservations! If you are planning on attending the 2011 Tranny Awards, please note that there has been a change of venue! Turns out that so many people are RSVP’ing that the old place just wasn’t going to be big enough to hold everyone… especially with all the gorgeous Shemale Pornstars and Transsexual Models attending!

So, here is the new location, and of course, you can get full details on attending the 2011 Tranny Awards on February 19, 2012 at the site. See you there!

Every so often, don’t you just wish that the girl in picture was right there, whispering sweet nothing in your ear… The soft tickle of her breath making you swoon with desire? Well, of course, if you’re anything like me, you just don’t have the imagination for times like that, and that’s where TS Captions comes in!

TS Captions makes it easy for you to imagine your girl whispering sexily into your ear… sometimes playful, sometimes pithy, I think TS Captions is really great for those of us who just don’t have all those pickup lines and sweet nothings memorized quite yet. Let me tell you though, read enough of these fun little blurbs and you’ll soon be the smoothest tongue in the bar… and girls will be all over themselves to have you whispering in their ears!

Grooby Productions
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Ladies of Shemale Yum Do Adultcon

(Chatsworth, CA) Grooby Productions will have a booth at Adultcon this coming weekend, Friday July 29th through Sunday July 31st. This is the first time that Adultcon has had t-girls as exhibitors. The booth will feature some of the hottest girls from Grooby’s Shemale Yum site, including Domino Presley, Morgan Bailey, Amy Daly, Khloe Hart, Celeste, Michelle Austin, Sunshyne Monroe, Jenna Rachels and Estelle L’Amore. Famed Director Buddy Wood will also be in attendance. The girls will be selling DVDs, autographed photos and more.

“Trade shows like Adultcon are very important, because they directly reach the consumer and that ultimately impacts business with new visitors and potentially members for our sites”, says Owner, Steven Grooby. “Most of the attendees are the real fans of porn. Of course, the girls’ fans will come and I’m sure they will make new ones, too.”

For pre-sale tickets, show hours and other information about Adultcon, go to their site, adultcon.com. Media inquiries about Grooby’s sites and talent should be directed to Erika Icon of The Rub PR at erika@therubpr.com.

ABOUT GROOBY:
Grooby Productions is the largest transgender website company in the world, and operates over 15 pay sites, as well as social networks such as TGFlix and HungDevils—there’s something for everyone with sites such as Shemale Yum (the longest and most popular TS erotica site featuring 1000s of unique models) and Black T-Girls, niche sites like Shemale Japan (the only website featuring uncensored Japanese transsexuals), as well as solo model sites for superstar models, Domino Presley, Amy Daly and Hazel Tucker. In 2009, Grooby introduced The Tranny Awards to celebrate the best models, photographers and websites with trophies and cash prizes—the awards take place each February. Grooby is synonymous with not only with transgender erotica, but original, high quality content from our exclusive producers, Buddy Wood, PK Vegas, Tony Vee, Luiz Damazo and more, produced exclusively worldwide, allowing Grooby to update their sites with dozens of new models every week, as well as our exemplary customer service. In 2011, Grooby is rolling out of a number of pay sites, DVDs and new social media, including the Grooby Network that allows models to produce their own pay sites.

Thanks to everyone involved in a stellar event on Sat night at Blue Moon Nights. Despite a few teething problems due to the club owners not being the most organized, the awards got underway pretty much on “Tranny Time” by midnight.

However before that we had the red carpet event in which Danielle Foxx among others, interviewed the hottest and some of the most famous Transsexual models ever. Danni Daniels and Morgan Bailey expected to be a foot above the rest but it was a surprise appearance by Victoria Porshe to show that they aren’t the tallest T-girls. It’s just as well there wasn’t a prize for the Best Dressed Model as it would have been too difficult to choose but apart from the aforementioned Danielle; Yasmin Lee, TS Foxxy, TS Jesse, Sheeba Starr, and Vaniity were particularly memorable. Ben in LA easily won the Best Dressed Man.

There were plenty of press in attendance from Bizarre Magazine, AVN, XBiz and Robert Rhiney from “Girls and Corpses” as well as a few undercover writers. Producers were of course there in full: Joey Silvera, Sam Mancini, Tony Vee, Jon Sable, Ed Hunter, Tomcat (Kink), Frank, Buddy Wood, Bob and more to meet the models.

This event could not have happened without the sponsors, whose money went straight into the winners’ prizes. Grooby Productions covered the costs of the awards, advertising and all costs for the evening.

The award show kicked off with a number by MC for the evening, and model, Michelle Austin. These are the winners and some notes. Here are some brief rundowns of the 2010 Tranny Award Winners.

BEST FREE WEBSITE: Delia from “DeliaTS” presented the award sponsored by Krissy4u – Naughty Asian Tgirl.
WINNER: HungAngels.com
Closely followed by Caramel’s Tgirls.

BEST INDEPENDENT SITE: Krissy from “Krissy4u – Naughty Asian Tgirl” presented the award sponsored by Tranny News Daily.
WINNER: DeliaTS
There was nobody even close to Delia’s site. Delia has won this category two times running.

BEST NON-TS PERFORMER: Jesse Flores from ‘TS Jesse” presented the award.
WINNER: Angelina Valentine
Close runner up was Hollie Stevens in a very tightly contested category.

BEST TRANSSEXUAL DVD: Hazel Tucker from “Hazel Tucker: All-American Shemale Next Door” presented the award.
WINNER: Morgan Bailey’s Bad Day
Completely wiped the boards with every judge rating it high. Morgan accepted on stage with Buddy Wood as this was a joined effort (and co-stars Amy Daly and Olivia Love also joined the fun)

LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS: Grooby Productions Owner, Steven Grooby presented two awards.
JOANNA JET:
Joanna started in the industry as basically a fan of Shemale Yum in its earliest day and self-submitted some photos of herself as well as winning a banner competition. Soon after she made the transition and went into modeling with vigor.

She has starred in and produced some of the best TS porn around and worked with every major producer as well as running her own successful company. She’s tenacious, determined, has a great business head, produces content second to none and really enjoys what she does.

Joanna was instrumental in encouraging AVN to do a Best TS Performer Award. If it wasn’t for models like Joanna, then today’s newer models would find it a lot harder.

She’s a lovely person and a friend of mine. She came back as a model in 2010 on Shemale Pornstar and is going to continue to model as well as co-produce material in Europe for Grooby.

Here’s the acceptance video she Joanna Jet sent in for you all: See Joanna Jet Acceptance Speech

TONY VEE:
The second Lifetime Achievement Award went to Tony Vee who was shocked at being called up – and as he’s on the shy side, said only a few words. Tony started working for Grooby in 1997/98 and has shot over 800 models for them in that time, many with mutliple sets. He was the first photographer to work with people like Ashley George, Allanah Starr, Chrissy Snow, Danni Daniels, Carmen Cruz, Amber Vaughn, etc. Literally 100′s of models got their first shoots through Tony, who in the pre-internet days used to scour newspapers and the streets to find new models.

He’s still producing and looking like there will be no end to the amount of models he finds (having shot a model only hours before the shoot – and a new one the following morning). He’s an awesome friend, Joey Silvera thinks his work is among the best ever seen and he’s a legend. Tony Vee.

The ever lovely and graceful Yasmin Lee performed.

SHEMALE STROKERS MODEL OF THE YEAR: Domino Presley presented the award.
WINNER: Britney Markham
Britney had brought her Mom, who was in attendance. This award was voted by members of Shemale Strokers. Britney (doing a Jenna Jameson) announced her retirement from porn, after doing some great scenes in a short but well-enjoyed career.

BEST DVD DIRECTOR: The ever graceful Mia Isabella presented the award.
WINNER: Buddy Wood
Unsurprisingly and very deservedly went to…Buddy Wood which was an almost unanimous judges’ decision.

BEST MODEL SHEMALE YUM: Morgan Bailey presented the award.
WINNER: Domino Presley
Domino Presley was the winner by a mile. Other high contenders here included Bailey Jay, Alice Amuze and Danni Daniels. This category was voted on by Members of Shemale Yum.

BEST MODEL BLACK TGIRLS: Natalia Coxxx presented the award.
WINNER: Sheeba Starr
After making a comeback in 2010 to Black Tgirls, after a 6 yr absence from the industry, it has been great to see Sheeba Starr back in action!

BEST SOLO TS WEBSITE: Taylor McGhee presented the award.
WINNER: Mandy Mitchell
Mandy Mitchell’s Official Site, with it’s stunning photography and pushing of the boundaries of TS porn with often non-typical models, has created a brand and a look that she owns. She looked simply fantastic tonight and it was good to see her win. Close runners-up were TS Jesse and Mia Isabella.

BEST TRANSSEXUAL DVD PERFORMER: TS Foxxy presented the award sponsored by the Tgirl Network of SMC.
WINNER: Jessica Foxx
A surprise winner but her look and scenes are consistently excellent.

BEST WEBSITE MODEL – SOLO: Superstar Vaniity presented the award sponsored by Tranny Box.
WINNER: Not a big surprise that Bailey Jay won…this seems to be her year. Her closest runner up was Sarina Valentina and Domino Presley. Bailey had said she’s be at the awards but didn’t make it. This email came later and she will be accepting it this week:

“I just heard the awesome news!! I’m so happy I won!! I’m sorry I couldn’t attend last minute. I really am honored for the win! Thanks for giving me my start in this crazy industry, Bailey”

BEST WEBSITE MODEL – HARDCORE: Danielle Foxxx presented the award sponsored by Tranny Access.
WINNER: Celeste
Fantastic to see a model who doesn’t always get as much press (due to the fact she doesn’t court it) getting recognition. Celeste was unavailable to collect but her friend Renae did on her behalf.

BEST UP & CUMMER: Amy Daly presented the award sponsored by Grooby Productions.
WINNER: Domino Presley
This final award, is often the most important and shows who MAY be the next big star. Runners up included Danni Daniels, Brittany St. Jordan, Alice Amuze and Yazlene Reyes but Domino won clearly.

THE PARTY CONTINUED!!!

Congratulations to all winners AND nominees. Thank you to all for being so gracious and lovely and for being part of this industry. I hope sponsors and guests enjoyed the show and will give us feedback for improvements for next year. Overall the show ran very smoothly considering.

Thanks to Michelle Austin for being a fantastic MC and low-drama. Sparky for being brilliant all the way out and Buddy Wood for keeping it glued together. Thanks to our lighting guy and to Frank for doing photography as well as Danielle and her crew for the red carpet. Also, thanks too other photographers.
