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.

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
