Yay!
This is the first calender we’ve released for over 10 yrs and I’ve been wanting to redo one for a long time – and the new “Grooby Girls” brand, seemed the perfect excuse to kickstart what I hope will be an annual event.

Only $12.99 each or get three copies for $32.48!

This are beautiful, slick, full color calenders 17×11 inch and spiral bound. These are safe for work (well almost!) and would be an awesome gift to someone who appreciates female beauty or may be into tgirls. It would also be a talking point in your home of … Read More

So I thought I’d address the question, “Why no BBW Awards at this year’s TEA’s”, as I’ve been asked quite a few times.

The Transgender Erotica Awards, is a growing and evolving show, look it’s even got a new name this year!   In previous years, we had an “alt. model” award, won by among others, Chelsea Marie and Danni Daniels.  This was an award to be given to a model who didn’t fit the popular stereotype of a TS pornstar.   Our niche is growing sideways, encompassing more types of tgirls from a wide spectrum and as many of the most … Read More

Models, producers, cam girls, party promoters, photographers and all those who participate in or profit from working in transgender adult entertainment, usually have a good online presence across the social medias,  Twitter, Reddit, Facebook, Tumbler to name a few.  If they’re not promoting on there, then they’re missing a huge opportunity to reach a lot of fans that they may otherwise be missing.  Some people have followers/fans in the 100’s and some in the 1000’s but one thing is for sure, it’s unlikely you’re reaching all the potential people that you should be.

We’re used to tweeting, liking and sharing … Read More

I’ve been over this multiple times on forums such as Hungangels, across social media and in private emails to potential models, so in the interest of both saving me time and having this information available for all to see, it’s time to give the actual facts about being a transgender model in the current adult industry.  There is so much misinformation, however well intended, by individuals who really know very little about the real industry. Although the information given here is only from our experience at Grooby, we are the largest producer of TS content worldwide and I believe … Read More

Tranny Awards Changes Name to Transgender Erotica Awards

Burbank, CA – Grooby Productions recently announced TS adult industry event, the Tranny Awards, will be re-branded as the Transgender Erotica Awards (T.E.A.’s). The event remains the only of its kind and exclusively celebrates the accomplishments of the TS adult industry.

“We started the show as an online event for a bit fun and never anticipated the interest and growth of the show to become the main annual event for trans women and men in the adult industry,” said Grooby Productions owner Steven Grooby. “When we named the show the ‘Tranny Awards’ … Read More

It’s a thankless task being a judge for the Tranny Awards.  Nobody knows who they are (they don’t even know each other) until the night of the show and then nominees want to ask who they voted for or why they didn’t win.  Each year I try to get a mix of industry and fans to judge the categories.  Often some of the judges are also nominees, so they don’t get to judge on that category.   Here is the process:

• Grooby office staff ask industry performers, producers, critics if they are interested in participating as a judge as well as

I usually write about the Tranny Awards the day after the show, when my adrenaline is still high and I’m suffering from a lack of sleep.  This year, I thought I’d give it some space so I could be a little more removed and pragmatic about the events we ran.

I think you’d find few people who would disagree that the awards weren’t a great experience for those involved and even some who came with preconceptions, I believe warmed a bit more to the event.  Even though we had most of the top transsexual women and men in the industry … Read More

2013 was one of the most successful years (if not the best) we’ve experienced at Grooby in the more than 17 yrs we’ve been operating our company and we’re entering 2014 with an extremely positive outlook on what we can accomplish in the coming years.

How do I measure success?

Financially, we had a good year with more people joining (or rejoining), taking advantage of our discounts or offers and we’ve a higher ratio of people staying members for multiple months than almost any other adult website company. This has given us the budgets to spend on improving … Read More

“I am from northwest Pakistan and I need  visa, a friend and I want you to turn me into a girl.”

Despite specifically putting not to send this rubbish in the model criteria page, this cretin decides to post this anyway.   WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ????

Do you think we have the ability to get you a visa?  … Read More

I’m trying to create a historical archive of transsexual porn.   This isn’t a money making venture but I believe we’re in a unique position to do this and who knows, it may be something we can pass down through history (ahem!).

I’m looking for photos, magazines, books and original film containing photos or illustrations of transsexual erotica and smut from any era pre-internet (mid-90’s).  These will be housed safely in our air-conditioned studios and I’d have them scanned in for posterity and education, available free IF I can get the rights to do it.

We’re starting from pretty much nothing … Read More
