I’ve had a very up/down relationship with the AVN trade show in Las Vegas each January over the years. My first visit annoyed me, when taking our new VHS releases, in 1998, I had to explain to distributors what the internet was, and how popular we were already by the content we were showing online. I was met by derison, and told ‘It will never last’ before being offered a pitiful amount for them to take our titles. I rejected them all, and left the show irritated at the rudeness and short-sight of these so called professionals, all of whom … Read More
Stacey Summers Wins SNAP Award!
Congratulations to Stacey Summers on her much deserved win at the SNAP AWARDS in London last night. [Support Network for Adult Professionals]
Our favourite Irish lass has been working with us since 2018, and a popular model with the fans, and with our staff, as she’s great fun to have a drink with, and a cracking sense of humor.

Sponsored by Clips4Sale, the SNAP Awards take place each year in London, to celebrate and honor the adult industry in Europe, and especially the UK and Ireland.
Stacey attended the event with co-models from our site UKTgirls , Cece Monroe, Shattered … Read More
The Top Ten Debuts of 2025 (so far).
We’ve had a cracking start to 2025. Every year we get a selection of models debuting, usually clocking in 100-150 new debuts a year across the sites. Some years have more potential starlets than others – and 2025 started strong and continues to deliver, as the producers help find some of the hottest girls, and the applications keep coming in directly [apply to model here].
I thought it would be fun to take a look, in no particular order, at my favorite ten debuts of 2025.

2026 Grooby Turns 30 – How to Celebrate?
It barely seems a few years since it was our 20th Anniversary and I was taking this photo in San Francisco. There have been of course a lot of changes during the past ten years, and not just on my hairline. The company has continued to diversify and grow, almost all the sites changed names for terminology reasons during that time and we’ve added new sites and products (and finished a few).
Our celebratory Silver Anniversary in 2021 was curtailed by the worldwide pandemic shutdown but even that seems a far distance in the rear view mirror.

We are one … Read More
New Grooby Shirts: RSVP for Exclusive Designs
We have new shirts coming! Mike is currently getting the mailing lists together for models who have promoted the previous shirts we’ve sent, and the new models who worked with us after that run, so if you have worked with us on any of our sites, get your name and address on the list here : New Grooby Shirt RSVP.
Typically we’ll release 1-2 shirts or merchandise a year. In the past we’d just mail them to every model we had in our system but so many were returned for bad mailing addresses, or sent to models who didn’t … Read More
Rumors of My Retirement …

… are greatly exaggerated. But as an FYI to those who work with us, I have dropped back from some of the frontlines of what we do, selecting models and shoots, working directly with the producers and a lot of the marketing to focus on my new projects, including Blue.xxx (check it out of you’ve not already), and more the behind the scenes that I can work on. Mike, Alexander, Russ, Kristel, Goran and the rest of the team are doing a great job, and it’s freed my time up a little to work on projects like Grooby Sauce!
Welcome … Read More
TEA Nominations 2024 Coming Very Soon
We’ll be announcing our nominations for the 2024 Trans Erotica Awards very soon.
We usually announce the model categories on Twitter first and then post them onto http://theTEAshow.com.

TEA 2023 – My Personal Thanks & More
I hope everyone enjoyed the TEA Weekend as much as I did. It was the smoothest show we’ve operated and although still room for improvement, we were extremely happy overall. Removing the interval was key, and kept people focussed and the show on schedule. The rain made the red carpet a little more complicated which was a shame, but we at least had TEA brollies ready to go.
If anyone actually listened when I was on stage, one thing I wanted to impress was that we run this show at ‘not for profit’. Our sponsorships are low compared to other … Read More
