Every couple of years I write about the difficulties of being a trans adult performer, the limited opportunities, how to maximise those opportunities and to share the view from a company owners perspective.   I do this, to help explain to the 100’s of models who want to work with us but are unable, and the 100’s more models who do work with us – but want more work,  why this isn’t available.

I also hope to share some insight into the industry – and I’m always open to questions (best asked on Twitter @groobysteven.

Everything here is from my view … Read More

Dear Supporters, Models and Partners,

Thank you for yet another fantastic year.   2018 has had it’s challenges as we continue to navigate through new laws, try different content ideas, lose some social marketing avenues and attempt to keep Grooby relevant, exciting and forward thinking.

With about 100 new TS models debuting each year in N.America and multiple sites vying to have the top ones (or the newest) work for them, then it can be a bit of a pitfall deciding how or where to do you first shoots.  Naturally, I’m going to suggest that you do it with Grooby – but you do have other options, and I’m going to give you the reasons you should choose your early shoots very carefully.

I assume that you’ve read through this blog a little – or at least this post and have decided you still want … Read More

I try to update this every year or so and I think I’m a bit ahead of schedule, but it’s just became necessary for me to put some facts out there so models or potential models can get a more realistic picture of the industry and why they are not getting shoots.

I get anywhere from 1-10 model applications a day, or models hitting me up for re-shoots a day but in the last month it’s been especially bad (is tax season coming?). Emails from new models who we would like to work with, existing models who are looking for … Read More
